Looks like someone slept through logarithms in Math class, or they're too young to have had it yet. :v:

Oh boy let me go get some water for this burn

i like to think of them as reflecting light so i can see myself
[QUOTE=Paramud;41619006]Oh boy let me go get some water for this burn[/QUOTE]
I meant them, not you, I hope that's clear.
also i have to state this, but why do i feel like this has been said and done before i feel like everything is on repeat mode

Some h2Oooooohhhhh snap.
This is going to open up a whole lot of doors
So if you make a cube of this and somehow could send light or laser into that, would it stay there forever ?

It would look like the white room from gm_construct :v:

no, some energy will always be lost as heat
[QUOTE=Colliseemoe;41617300]Would that be particularly expensive to mass produce?[/QUOTE]
Silicon nitride is really cheap to make and abundant as fuck anyway (well, not silicon nitride, but silicon and nitrogen are and it's not exactly a weird molecule); the tech would be the hard part, but as with anything, the tech can be improved. Nobody thought they'd own a computer 40 years ago.
isn't it thermodynamicly impossible to reflect 100% of energy? i mean there is always some inefficiency
[QUOTE=stupid07er;41617305]Millions of people are going to realize how ugly they actually are are upon seeing themselves reflected perfectly for the first time[/QUOTE]
This happens every time I wash the bathroom mirror
It reflects sound waves perfectly too? I want to scream into an entire room made of it
Calling it bullshit.
they just do not have instruments so accurate they can measure the distortion.
If shit is so small you cannot see it does not mean it doesn't exists.
Faggots.

[QUOTE=LittleBabyman;41617361]But the lamp absorbs some of the light and thus you can't have infinite light
I think[/QUOTE]
Then you throw out the lamp before the light hits the lamp, therefore, infinite light.

Finally, a mirror for unlucky sufferers of OCD. No longer will we have to suffer through 6.99 years of bad luck, we got the full 7 now. Thanks, future!

Which happens when the reflected light hits the object that emits it. Like a lightbulb adsorbing some of the light it shines.
What would happen if we made a completely enclosed box of this, but on the outside it's transparent and on the inside it's this mirrors then put it in sun.
I think that the box would melt
We'll need more mirror rooms with swings.

That's not how one-way mirrors even work.

[QUOTE=slayer20;41618398]Mirrors are our gateways into the past, aren't they? Or is that just windows?[/QUOTE]
They kinda are. The reflection you see is of your past self. Not very far in the past since it's just the time it took for the photons to travel, but yeah it's not the current image.

No, that's not possible. I believe they mean the mirror is "perfectly" flat and reflects different frequencies equally.
Besides fully perfect reflection is not possible due to Schrödinger's uncertainity principle.

Yes because MIT, the place perfectly capable of measuring sub atomic particles, can't detect sub atomic particles.
A perfect mirror sounds impossible.
Like... "folded space-time portal" kind of impossible.
I will expect my folded space-time portal to arrive by noon.
i cant wait for the day we can surpass even the limitation of "perfect" objects like these
like those weird bouncy balls that bounce even higher than it was i've seen in the games i've played
