(I, myself, am not a phisicist.) 1- Yuiop, on mesage #27 sent me to learn about time dilation. Apart from the interpataion of the famous Michelson Morley experiment, what other evidence is there to Time dilation? 2- Historicaly, where there any other interpretaions of that experiment...

Maybe I wasn't too clear and I missed an important factor - I am pretending in the darwings that it is a very short burst of light, a single photon even. Does it make a difference now? Thanks.

...and this is...:'I have given this some more thought and now I am convinced there will be no deflection of the reflection and it will not shift sideways by even by a fraction at relativistic speeds' ??

Here are my "original" drawings (I didn't notice I can do that...): Am I wrong somewhere along this line of thought? Thanks again.

Thanks for the answers so far, but i just want to make sure I understood corectly: I - As the mirror is moving sideways and in vertical to "me" it keeps a fixed distance from "me". Therfore, is the color shift still expected to happen? II - (I think...) I did not receive an answer to my...

...and I was hoping to get from you a good answer...?

...and that includes very high (and theoratical) speeds as the speed of light or "very-near" of the speed of light? (thx).

Hi Chris. I am at rest and the mirror is speeding by. Will I receive back the light that I have emitted?

Optics -- Reflection of image from a moving mirror I have a dufficult question which I couldn't find an answer to, yet: If I am standing in front of a mirror - I can see my image, naturally. Now, let's say that the mirror is actually a very long train and it moves parallel to me . And...
