...power of relics: "When the Taliban first attempted to take control of Afghanistan in 1996, they knew where to begin. The Taliban leader Mullah Omar demanded to be let into a shrine containing relics of Prophet Muhammad: hair from his beard, and a cloak he is said to have worn. Seizing the cloak, Mullah Omar went to the roof of the shrine and slid his hands into the sleeves, holding the garment before him for everyone to see. To the crowd watching it looked like he had gone into the relic chamber and come out transformed into the Prophet himself...
...first moment anyone swapped cowrie shells for some cooked fish. Organized trade is ancient: silk did not get to Rome because the Romans figured out sericulture; someone imported it from China. But it took until 1817, and the work of the British political economist David Ricardo, for anyone to cloak a theory around something that humans had been doing since time immemorial. Ricardo showed that if nations concentrate on what they do best - those things in which they have a comparative advantage - and trade for the rest, their welfare will increase.

Physics and magic aren't often mistaken, but increasingly, physicists themselves seem to be trying to change that. Last year, a team at the University of California, Berkeley, announced that it had developed materials that could lead to an invisibility cloak. Last month, a group of researchers at Harvard University and the National Institutes of Health reported that it had accomplished something not unlike levitation, causing a microscopic sphere of gold to rise above a glass surface. Now, according to a paper published in the Jan. 23 issue of Science, a team of scientists from the Joint Quantum Institute...
