if enough mirrors were used, could we see what someone in australia was doing?

Answer 1

Theoretically yes, but practically no. Mirrors do not reflect perfectly, so after a few thousand bounces, not enough light will make to through. Also, you would still practically look through tens of thousand of kilometers, and there will be a lot of air to scatter light, and the image wll be totally hazy after a fraction of the distance. And finally, looking down that far, everything you would see would appear very small.

Answer 2

I believe I have the answer, I once took many many mirrors, well it was a couple of large mirrors broken down into multiple ones, and i set them up to see over my house and into my back yard, and it was almost succesful, but the more mirrors I used, the more distorted and discolored the image got and by the umteenth mirror th image was completely unintelligable, albiet they were poor quality mirrors that had been sitting in the elements for a while, but still the mirrors would have to be very high quality, possibly higher than we can currantly produce, and sattalites are more economicle.

Answer 3

Well, seeings how that is basically what satellites do, yes. Though I've no idea why you'd want to do so with mirrors, since the satellites are already in place doing basically the exact same thing.

Answer 4

theoretically, i guess. I don't know...would the curve of the earth gradually be a factor in it, or would tilting the mirrors fix that?

Answer 5

Sure why not. Just put em at the proper angles and intervals and it should be all good.

Answer 6

No... it's too far away and the images get progressively smaller.

Answer 7

yes of course

Answer 8

possibly
