Light Bent By Magnets

Here is evidence that light can be altered and bent by magnetism. For those who don't believe that light is magnetic and can be reflected/refracted/bent using EM force, this should help support the EU or MU.

Hi remelic. Sorry to bust your bubble, but did you read how it works?

Now Tie Jun Cui and Qiang Cheng at the Southeast University in Nanjing, China, have turned Narimanov and Kildishev's theory into practice, and built a "black hole" for microwave frequencies. It is made of 60 annular strips of so-called "meta-materials", which have previously been used to make invisibility cloaks.

Each strip takes the form of a circuit board etched with intricate structures whose characteristics change progressively from one strip to the next, so that the permittivity varies smoothly. The outer 40 strips make up the shell and the inner 20 strips make up the absorber.

Fabricating a device that captures optical wavelengths in the same way will not be easy, as visible light has a wavelength orders of magnitude smaller than that of microwave radiation. This will require the etched structures to be correspondingly smaller.

They are not using magnetic fields to bend light. It's more of a mechanical wave guide that works by matching the etching on the boards to the wavelength of the particular electromagnetic radiation. If they had actually bent light with a magnetic field the story would have focused on that as it's never been done before.

Dang. It looked pretty convincing.

Anyway I still think it can be done but we don't have the flux strength of a galactic center in the lab. Maybe then it can be shown to happen. Gravity is not the cause of lensing so what is if not EM?

Permittivity has a component of magnetic constant attached to it...u

That Magnetic Constant is Permeability
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permeability

Permittivity and permeability are according to the Aether Physics Model, quantum constants of great importance and are components of the aether, as Aether is in the APM a rotating magnetic field with a quantum spin of 2.

The Metamaterials structural properties are a waveguide in the traditional sense, that indeed is true, but due to the special properties of the metamaterials, it would also act as a magnetic barrel, so to speak, due to the permittivity and permeability gradients of the waveguide.

I believe both the structural aspects as well as the metamaterials functional aspects are involved in a very percise quantum way to form a magnetic barrel, not a black hole.

Thats what I get from it.

It's a variation on the metamaterials described here:

Novel Negative-Index Metamaterial Bends Light 'Wrong' Direction

Surface plasmons are light waves coupled to waves of electrons at the interface between a metal and a dielectric (a non-conducting material like air). Plasmonic waveguide elements route these coupled waves through the material. Not only is this material more feasible to fabricate than those previously used, Burgos says, it also allows for simple "tuning" of the negative-index response; by changing the materials used, or the geometry of the waveguide, the NIM can be tuned to respond to a different wavelength of light coming from nearly any angle with any polarization. "By carefully engineering the coupling between such waveguide elements, it was possible to develop a material with a nearly isotopic refractive index tuned to operate at visible frequencies."

Resonant wave coupling. I think you're on the right track JL.
