petrushkagoogol Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) How would you describe our reflection in a plane mirror as an entity in the space-time continuum ? real space, real time / imaginary space, real time / real space, imaginary time / imaginary space, imaginary time ? I think it is a kind of holographic projection, and cannot exert force, since it does not have mass. (rest-mass).However it does have energy which is why photons from the image reach the eye of the observer. Also, since the mirror is an encapsulated entity in space-time, all dependent entities are also are a part of space-time. viz. the reflection. AFAIK an image is the work of photons. If I had the mass of the Earth I would have my own gravitational field.An image does not have a gravitational field, it is a kind of "freeze-frame" for photons. From the above, a mirror presents itself as an energy redirecting device. It creates the illusion of mass, although there isn't any in reality. (something like an oasis in a desert). Do you agree ?
