| Re: Cosmic Horizon
You know me and my einsteinian reality, Greg. I just wanted your explanation of the difference between the illusion depicted and the actual distance between the mirror and observer(couldn't you have found a better looking observer?). They both seem to be information-based, no?
Also, why would the reflection "appear" to be moving away at greater than light speed if the mirror moves away at only slightly greater than half light speed, if the illusory distance is always twice the acutal distance? The reflected image should follow at whatever velocity the mirror recedes I would think.
My chiral(differing mirror image) reference was just a joke because you seem to have a good sense of humor. Yet the depth perception of the actual distance you propose might be correlated with the observed depth perception of the observer's reflection - no actual distance other than redshifted light.
Your explanations are always great, btw. |
