   Refractive materials gives us some limited control of light: we can fashion lenses, and construct waveguides, but complete control of light is beyond simple refracting materials. Ideally we might wish to channel and direct light as we please just as we might divert the flow of a fluid....

2. Negative Refraction, Light Pressure and Attraction, Equation E=mc2 and Wave-particle Dualism

   The process of transfer of radiation from the emitter to the receiver is considered. It is shown that the mass transferred by radiation is not always associated with portable energy by Einstein's relation E = mc ^ 2.
