Abstract

For centuries, physicist have satisfied by the results of applying optic laws such as discovery and observation of the universe that make the entire perspectives about the universe appearance can be assumed has been established. Because of that, astronomers have strong confident that the mapping of objects in the universe are accurate and can represent the real situation of the universe. The observation aspects is included position, age and distance of the objects such as stars, planets, galaxies in the universe based on electromagnet wave that be detected. The whole perception from interpreting the astronomical data will be dramatically changed by the discovery of new phenomenon in optic material called metamaterial. The optical phenomenon emerges from a radical idea of Russian physicist about negative index material in 1968. In line with this issue, our research is a attempt to understand the phenomenon from classical electromagnet point of view. Our study shows that negative index material can be designed by SRR and thin wire in which depend on plasma and operating frequency. Further analysis can also show that several optical laws must be modified. In line with astronomical data, if there are systems in the universe have negative refractive index then astronomical data should have new interpretation.
