That's the problem that the "zero energy in reflected
waves" crowd have. If they admit they can see themselves
in a mirror, they have defeated their own argument. So
they must necessarily close their eyes and deny reality.

Cecil:

I am open to that probability, indeed, it is an excellent explanation
(theory), one I probably most favor--that "mirror argument" of yours is
GOOD! damn GOOD!

For "crissakes" man, do you think me blind? 8-) grin

Warmest regards,

As a matter of inquiry, "You ever pointed a video cam at a mirror at the
end of a hallway and seen the infinite reflections?" Quite an
interesting effect, an experiment worth doing (well, it impressed
me--but then, you know that don't take much :-( )... you might remember
having seen it done as a special effect in movies before? Perhaps the
web has an example for those without a cam?
