I just read this neat little article in Sunday's NYT.
The Waves of the Future May Bend Around Metamaterials http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/24/s...ay-bend-around-metamaterials.html?ref=science

So I posted the engaging little article below just to get you astrophysics types on board with a reference to get you to read the following article

Who'd a thunk the mysteries of the universe would be wrapped up in the indeterminacy of quarks, leptons, and the like. I mean shit, nanometer wavelength lenses because protons are forced to do what they normally don't do because shapes are introduced into a structure? Really mighty mouse" WTF.
