I would probably say it cant but lets say it could what would happen if you did the 2 perfect mirrors faceing each other about 2 feet away from each other and then add a ray of light going perfectly straight in between them? What would it look like? Would the ray of light bounce between them forever? I think perfect mirrors are the coolest.

At Disney World they have what they calla mile long bar. The bar has probably 10 seats but if you look to the left or right it goes on forever. You are not looking for a perfect mirror. You are looking for two perfectly placed mirrors.

if you had perfect mirrors they would reflect forever.
this is one of einstein's thought experiments, he called
this the might mirror.
if you can imagine that you have a mirror like this, and there
is one on a spaceship in orbit. the mirror in orbit is going much faster than your mirror, so therefore the distance that the light has to go to make a full cycle is greater. since the speed of light is constant, this means that time is dilated in the spaceship, ie. time is going slower inside the spaceship. very cool thought experiment.

If you like cool mirrors, you will love these guys, if you are not already familiar with them.
