Usually, crystals have three-dimensional periodicity. Smectic liquid crystals, however,
have one-dimensional order, even in three-dimensional samples. These systems, as
simple as they might seem, connect the physics of biomembranes, superconductivity,
and even special relativity. I will provide an introduction for non-specialists and show
how this diverse set of ideas comes together in these very, very soft systems.
