More support from the world of science that the geometry of crop circles gives them unusual energetic properties. We’re getting close, very close, to something very important here about how crop circles act like energy amplifiers.

A recent article in Science magazine, “Gold Helix Photonic Metamaterial as Broadband Circular Polarizer,” 18 Sept. 2009, brings up the idea of how the geometric shapes of metamaterials creates resonant, macroscopic, energetic effects. Metamaterials are ordinary materials with chiral and other geometric consistencies that give them extraordinary effects on light and other freuquencies. Metamaterials, for example, are used to create cloaking and invisibility.

The authors of the Science article look at how the shape, more specifically the slight chirality of nanoscale gold helixes creates polarized light and mentions the idea of Bragg Resonance: where each individual crystal interacts with the other crystals in a structure to create a broadband, macroscopic effect that is not reducible to each crystal: rather it is the property of the structure as a whole. The authors show that even a small, less than complete twist in gold filaments, when the geometry of the whole substrate is correct,  creates optical shifts in a reflecting light source. This effect is scalable to other frequencies.
