Last weekend we attended our daughter’s graduation from Duke University, where she was graduated with a masters degree in Environmental Management. Barb and I are very proud of Emily.
One of the honorary doctorates was awarded to a British scientist, Sir John Pendry. He is credited with creating the first practical “invisibility cloak”. I know it sounds like science fiction, but it is real! Using metamaterials, he is able to bend light around an object, so that it is invisible. My crude illustration of my cloak is in the photo below.
We had some nice meals in Durham, and at one restaurant the wine list included both the white and the red wines that we will be serving at Emily’s wedding in a few days. Of course we ordered them, and they are good.
That must be a good omen.
Was that at Vin Rouge?
You win the prize! Good guess.
