If I place two mirrors facing each other and sit in the middle so my image infinitely regresses and then.?
.. take a powerful telescope to view the furthest reflection will I be able to see myself as a small child?
Answers:
No. It is a fallacy to believe that your image can regress between 2 mirrors an infinite number of times. With every reflection, the image would lose a little bit of light intensity, so eventually the image would become dimmer and dimmer until it disappeared completely. Regardless, the image that is being bounced back and forth is the image of you at the moment the light struck you, and that image doesn't change, so even if you could get enough bounces to sustain the image indefinitely, the image would still be the same.
I think you're misreading how time relates to light - though light images do represent how something appeared in the past (e.g. when you look at a star that is 10 light-years away, you see it as it appeared 10 years ago), that's not because light can travel backwards through time but because light takes time to get from there to here.
no
Yes. I suggest finding a way to communicate the winning lottery numbers. And perhaps a warning about electing George W.
no, but amazingly, you will be instantly zapped into the 1436th dimension.
mm i dont this so and u got pics for that lol and u got probloms to lol
I agrre with the others-no.
But there is a very,very,very small chance (about 10 to the -10000000000000000000000000000. th power) that the photons will re-arrange just right to form what you looked like as a child. But this would only be by chance, with no fundemental reasoning behind it.
Yeah, the images get dimmer.
Besides, are you a child? It's a mirror; you see yourself just as you see yourself right now. It's not a time machine.
Yes, if you are a small child now.
No, but if you wait around long enough, you can see yourself grow old.
Yes, provided you use perfect mirrors and you were a small child when you first sat down.
Otherwise, no.
no thats just silly, but it will be fun tho
