For me, I am interested in learning what is possible, not just what actually does occur.
So if we could make an 'ideal' '100%' perfect mirror configuration, we could trap light indefinitely?
I was just wondering if the energy would be used up in some way, like degrading over time.
Mathematicians always tell me I am stupid for differentiating between 99.999% and 100%! :D I...

Light is formed of photons, and photons are reflected off mirrors. If you reflect photons off one mirror onto another mirror, then have that second mirror reflect back onto the first... why...
