Now imagine that each one of these mirrors is moving at approximately half the speed of light, but that the distance between the mirrors is growing at faster than the speed of light since there are multiple mirrors. What would happen if you were to look through these mirrors? Also, imagine that the mirrors maybe accelerating at a great rate. What would happen in this case?
I don't see the relevance of this comment to the thread; no matter what you do with mirrors, you cannot change the fact that light has a finite speed.
