Duplicate of What longest time ever was achieved at holding light in a closed volume? | |
| Aug 22, 2016 at 8:38 | comment | added | Zaibis | @JanDvorak: I know that this is the same answer but technically "it dissapears" is all I know. | |
| Aug 22, 2016 at 8:35 | comment | added | John Dvorak | What happens to light that hits a black surface? | |
| Aug 22, 2016 at 8:35 | comment | added | Zaibis | @JanDvorak: What happens to the absorbed light? Is it by some means nbeutralized? | |
| Aug 22, 2016 at 8:34 | comment | added | Zaibis | @JanDvorak: So my idea isn't incorrect, and would even turn out to be correct if we had 100% reflective mirrors? | |
| Aug 22, 2016 at 8:29 | comment | added | John Dvorak | Mirrors have two big issues - aiming, and that they aren't perfectly reflective. 99.999% doesn't sound bad until you realize the light will make billions of bounces each second. | |
