Oh my! :OO :FF
I just stumbled upon this tread randomly from google! and as I've been a member of physicsforums for some time now, I don't believe I've ever sat down and read one as thoroughly as this one! it's simply fascinating! I'm going to build one of these within the next year for sure...
@Brin yeah I know :P it's sort of fascinating though a bit sad :P because it's not possible to watch x) if it was.. then I'd definitely look to see if I found someone like the doctor :P (from BBC - Dr Who).
vanesch: thanks! :D I really needed a good answer to this. and I wasn't thinking of a mirror, but more of the light reflecting the planets in our solar system.
but you understood my question quite perfectly. and now i got a more reasonable explanation, and it was satisfying :D I will sleep...
I'm very sorry for probably posting this in the wrong place, but I'm kind of a newbie when it comes to physics.
this is a question I've had for a long time, and it is really giving me problems sleeping, as i keep wondering if it(at least in theory) could be possible..
here is my question...
