    Soon (this year, perhaps), Sir John Pendry will receive the Nobel Prize in Physics, for inventing metamaterials in 1999.

    Why was this being widely discussed up until 5 years ago and then the influx of information bout this on RUclips kind of stops? Did they hit a wall in developing these things? I would have expected a live demonstration of this by now

    Wouldn't making holes in the glass cause diffraction?

    • @ultimatequantumguy3131

      Not if they're beneath half the wavelength of the light - this is known as the diffraction limit.

    It takes the right kind of person to communicate an idea orally, this guy is not one of those kind of teachers.

      It takes right kind of student to understand what concept sir john pendry is explaining. Beside the word cloaking, one need to know basic physics to understand it.

      Name anything that does not "respond" to gravity ?

      @Tyke Miiceon Thats not true. Antimatter is just regular matter but with opposite charge. It behaves similarly to regular matter in that it has a positive mass, takes up volume and follows all the same known laws of physics. This includes gravity.

    Given that the starlink dish is much bigger than how he's describing it would be with metamaterials, it would seem that they have not yet figured out a good way to make the metamaterials work for satellite reception. I am sure that Tesla would love to have receivers embedded in the roofs of all of their cars

    I do not get the part where he starts explaining the sphere and space inside. Can someone explain.

      Read how eyes sees an object (due to reflection) but if object won’t reflect anything then it would be dark. Now imagine a cylinder which is capable to bend the light across it due to its property/construction.

    • @polarizadmax
      @polarizadmax 3 года назад +2

      That cylinder won’t reflect light but make it appear like reflected from somewhere else which our eye perceive as invisibility.

    This negative refractive index has a possibility of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. These hydrogen and oxygen could be recombined in a combustion reaction for energy. The reactions need to take place at the sub-micro level. The radiation would also need shielding. Just some thoughts.

    My friends Chris and Ryan Bledsoe were allowed to hold meta material. It sent a surge of energy through them. Lue Elizondo himself came to pick it up from them. Confirmed it on a Spotify podcast.

    It is fatuous to make allusions to gravitational lenses. This has nothing to do with metamaterials. It just confuses people. The fact that invariant warping algorithms exist, mathematically, does not give one permission to tie in two unrelated physical phenomena. I don't see any evidence that Dr. Pendry has any background in gravitational lensing. Please post peer-reviewed references if he does.

      He's not arguing that they are two strongly related physical concepts, he's using one as an analogy for another to explain it to people with little/no knowledge in the field. I suspect you're missing the point of TEDx talks - and specifically their target market - he's not trying to speak to professionals. I must say that, personally, I found the idea of relating refraction to deformation of space far more useful in understanding continuously variant refractive indices than most other analogies.
      Please remember, just because you are intelligent does not mean that you are the only valid target market for a talk. Oh, and one does not necessarily require the publishing of peer-reviewed papers to have a basic understanding of a topic.

      If you believe Bob Lazars story then if he’s correct then the gravity based system on the flying saucer he describes bends light because gravity can bend space and time. These three things are interchangeable.

    he could have skipped the nonsense and stick to refraction. there is no gravitational lensing...people can be so blind. they look thru a telescope which work on refraction and believe they see gravity bend light....how dumber can we get?

      Observations of stars as they moved in the background close to solar eclipses has confirmed that gravity bends light. As the stars move close to the Sun, their apparent position is altered so that they appear to move closer to the Sun as they move past and do a little wiggle as they move. This is because the Sun is bending the light's path as passes. We had to do this during solar eclipses because otherwise the Sun's intensity blocks us from seeing the stars as they pass so close.

    • @defenestrator9119

      To get technical... it's not even bending the light. It's bending the space that the light is moving through. Techinically the light is still moving straight, but through curved space/time.

      You don't have any clue what you're talking about. "There is no gravitational lensing" ?
