The physics of spherical mirrors
May 28, 2007 8:03 AM   Subscribe

I am looking for an answer to a kind of "thought experiment" that I have been pondering since I was a kid. OK. Let's say that you have a large sphere, and the inside of the sphere is completely mirrored. And, let's say that you are suspended inside this sphere with invisible wire and that there is some sort of light source that allows complete visibility (nothing too overpowering; just something that allows for visibility and positioned as close to the center as possible). What would your reflection look like? It seems to me that your 360 degree reflection would somehow all become one indiscernable image, but my knowledge of physics is obviously extremely limited. Please help.

Check this question out -- it seems to be the exact same one.
