    Making negative refraction with positive index material

    well besides considering that physicists should explore everything around them, I say why not and be that dumb. Hell, people spend government money playing around with computer programs, I don't see why not. Besides, what I am looking for is actual proof.

    Making negative refraction with positive index material

    no no no, imagine, that you have slabs of material right? Now light strikes one material, but let's say that this material is tilted in one direction, such that when light strikes this medium, what occurs is that light will bend (let us assume the second material's index is much higher than the...

    couldnt you orient some materials such that negative refraction occurs?

    Making negative refraction with positive index material

    well yes i know that all matter, except metamaterials exhibit this, but I was thinking, for like things like glass, it is definitely impossible right?

    Making negative refraction with positive index material

    positive index material is any material that is not meta-material like glass, meaning index n>1

    Making negative refraction with positive index material

    I was thinking about and I think it might be possible, but before I do anything stupid, anything have an opinion about this?

    Self-Studying Physics C: Is It Worth It for College Admissions?

    Well it depends, what do you want? I would do something like this, just because Physics brings me joy in life, and I like doing it (not that I am good at it ), but if you just want it for credit, then if you don't want to take it your first year its a good way to get in a harder college course...

    Schools Which US Universities Offer Top Undergraduate Aerospace Engineering Programs?

    In terms of theoretical physics, UC SB is pretty good eh? I am applying to Brown MIT Caltech Stanford for their physics :P

    Robotics Team #1130 Wins at OMSI Competition

    you seriously have no idea how hard it is to think of that design. That wheel you see on our robot, was quite inventive, the traction pulls the ball to the robot, and then it uses an elevator to lift. The biggest flaw with our robot is that we rarely considered torque so when the robot holds...

    ooh, I am part of the robotics team at our school here is a look at our robot (we went to nationals last year) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PVsDsV6soEU and here is the animation we made (i helped make it but my name isn't in the credits meh) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5qI8TXXPqIc
