Hi. There's something I don't understand.. and it might be a silly question, but I want an answer.
Light is formed of photons, and photons are reflected off mirrors. If you reflect photons off one mirror onto another mirror, then have that second mirror reflect back onto the first... why don't the photons get 'trapped' forever bouncing back and forth? Considering they took days, months, thousands of years to arrive here from where they were generated.
Confused.
