the inside of the sphear is mirrored

I'm guessing there is no such thing as a perflect reflector, so the light would be absorbed.

I actually posted a very similar question yesterday. If you had a perfect sphere that was mirrored on the inside and you turned on the light but still had a magical way to pear inside the light fixture would absorb all the energy and the light energy would quickly be converted to heat whcih would dissipate to the exterior of the sphere. If you question is completely hypothetical like mine, where there is complete conservation of energy within the sphere and the light source isn't there to absorb any energy I'm still wondering that myself. I've also thougth about a laser too.

bodily mirrors enhance the point of ambient easy accessible to the observer interior the room at any given 2nd. much less of the photons are absorbed by utilising the partitions, as a replace they are re emitted into the room. you will be able to desire to cook dinner a turkey with a bulb that burns warm sufficient and a few effective rather reflective surfaces to capture as many photons interior the "room" as attainable. enable me ask you, do you think of the turkey is having a spiritual journey? Spiritually if there is something religious approximately easy then logically, greater easy = greater spirituality.

Good question. If it had the perfect reflective material that never absorbed any of the light being reflected and was a 2-way mirror you may have just come across the endless lightbulb!

been pondering something like this for years, and I still cant decide whether the light would dissipate/diffuse, or create some kind of laser light. Pleeeease give us the answer soon?

I think the ENERGY would dissipate rapidly do to heat LOSSES.
So no the light would go off ALMOST instantaneously.
ALSO as soon as you LOOKED to see the result, any LIGHT still in there would be LOST. SO you can't even check it.

what is a sphear?
If you can't get that right what chance have you got

no, it would get absorbed by the material which caused the photon emission
