Hi Nob ... not sure what Chiral refers to in this instance ??
But what I am saying is that the photon only travels the distance between ourselves and the mirror. But the information it carries, our reflection, appears to have come from twice as far. But this is only information (a measurement) , it has no reality (entity)
If you look from 1 metre away, your reflection appears as 2 metres.
Now, if the mirror moves away from you at slightly more than half-light-speed (POK's idea)
in theory your reflection is apparently moving from you at
greater than light speed. But in fact the light reaching you from the moving mirror does not have to travel a distance that is increasing at greater than light speed, it only has to cross an 'increasing distance' of separation at slightly greater than half-light-speed.
The information that the photons contain is not proof of exceeding light speed. It is information (concepts) of how we choose to view it. A mirror is no different to a Planet or a Rock, it just reflects greater amounts of light.
Its reflections are so precise that we are convinced (our eyes) we are perceiving a reality, but it is only an illusion.
If what I have explained is correct, and I could be wrong, then POK efforts to receive light from across the Cosmic Horizon cannot be achieved by this method.
Hope this explains my reasoning a bit better ??
cool bananas ... greg
PS: the angle of light reflection in my diagram should be 180 degree reflection, not 45 degrees as I have drawn for clarity purposes only.
