Here's another one:

Go into a place selling polarized sunglasses. Hold up two pairs a few 
inches apart at right angles. No light comes thru, obviously.

Now, without moving those glasses, put a third one in between at a 
45-degree angle. Suddenly, light comes thru.

When I see a ray-tracer do *that*, I'll believe in "using physical 
equations". ;-)
