it was from a course long ago, that showed the reflectivity of the 
surface depended upon induced surface currents, just one surface.

but a there are 3 parts, transmissivity, reflectivity, and absorptivity, 
and the metals do not absorb much so it gets reflected, non metals 
absorb more, the 1/4 oxide layers have good transmission.

the dielectric coatings are very interesting, I have a book "Optical 
Thin Films, Users Handbook" by James D Rancourt where multiple coatings 
are put on in near 1/4 wavelength, typically in stacks of alternating 
index (different materials ) but it is more on the optical interference 
filters that bandpass light through in a band. If the band is narrow, it 
reflects most all the light and looks very silver, like a mirror, on the 
back side, but a small notch is missing where the light was transmitted 
through the filter. Some of those filters have 10 layers..

I told that stupid Wormley NOT to give HVAC any hints, but of course 
he's so into his own alarmist world he can't join in any scientific 
experiment.

OF course he really didn't answer the question if we talk about mirrors 
with serious images rather than faint reflections.

So Sammy, can you answer Sergio's question? HVAC fell on his loser face. 
I'm betting even YOU can correctly answer the original question as well 
as explain the issue in some detail to Sergio.

The question can be answered with a simple Yes or NO. Can't you handle 
that Mr. Wordsmith? Three letters or two letters. You can do it. Herb 
can help you spell those words correctly.

hey folks, what did I tell you? All HVAC knows how to do is tell you how 
smart he is, how much science he knows, how important he is, how you 
should worship him, and how he is "exposing" all the "kooks" in the world.

Truth has just been proved, not by my "belief" but with actual 
scientific experiment. HVAC has nothing. He can't even answer a simple 
high school physics question about mirrors. He clearly has no science 
education. He just goes on like Herb Glazier with this grade school 
education about ho much he knows.

Obviously HVAC knows nothing at all. He can't even answer a simple 
science question yes or no. (even though he does spell better than Treeb)

Are you fooled by all this bluster and drool?

I feel sorry for you if you are.

HVAC is a loser. Nothing more.

Have a nice Memorial Day, Harlow!

  What a useless article, absolutely nothing about how surfaces either reverse the electric or the magnetic field of impacting photons depending on whether they're conductive or not.

  Of course. Ever wonder why semiconductors make poor mirrors?

  Ever look into a prism?

I asked for a crystal ball for Xmas one year after I saw a James
Burke series.  Looking at how light behaves through one of those
is facinating.

I asked for a crystal ball for Xmas one year after I saw a James 
Burke series.  Looking at how light behaves through one of those 
is facinating.

James Maxwell was fascinated by prisms to the point where his fascination led to unlocking the secrets of the universe.

Some are happy just being fascinated. Maxwell wanted to know why.

I'd put him #2 on the great minds of physics, just behind Newton

Mirror needs no glass.Mirror gives back exactly what it sees.I made 50 small mirrors reflect the sun and cause wood 2x4 to burst into flame. You can have fun with curved mirrors.Pretty girls have the most mirrors. TreBert

Sure, Treeb, you can have just metal and no glass and it's a mirror! But 
the Question that is too much for HVAC to answer is if you can have just 
glass (or other non-conductive material) and still make a mirror?

Watch out Treeb! I think HVAC is about to announce that he is really 
into microbes and Earth is a microbe planet!

My mechcanical laser (white light) cost me nothing to build but time an mirrors, flashbulbs and a 19 inch tube.It pops red balloons at 50 feet. Its fun to build and shoots like a Flash Gorden ray gun.

You don't have a clue what a laser is, do you Reber?
Here's a hint: The technology was discovered aboard a crashed alien 
saucer and given to Bell Labs to reverse engineer. The rest s history. 
The flying saucer did not contain flashbulbs.

Gas laser was invented by Ali Javan (Iranian
scientist) in 1960 at Bell Labs. I wouldn't be
surprised in those days journalists mistook "Iran"
with an alien saucer.

His laser was slightly different from that of the
co-inventor Bennett's. But the type you see
everywhere, cash register scanners, etc, is exactly
Javan's invention.

  Uh, Bert? What did you use for the gain medium? No gain medium, no laser.

  BTW, the first ruby lasers used flashlamps to get enough pump light to lase. Green LEDs put out a lot more light per input electrical watt in the Cr ions' absorption band than do flashlamps. Just a thought...

that is sam's forte'.  I want to know about that,
with the proviso that there are no newtonion (zero-d\massless

Sam is it possible that you are even MORE ignorant of physics than 
journalist HVAC? OR do your so-called ignorant "students" pick these 
bullshit articles?

This article is TOTALLY and I mean TOTALLY wrong. It uses neither 
Maxwell theory or the more advanced Feynman theory. It's just plain 
garbage. Why not get an education and learn how BOTH those theories 
work?   Ask HVAC for help. He has some kind of degree in some kind of 
subject from some kind of college (he says). Or you could ask Herb. He 
is an imperial thinker and also knows how everything works.

Hint: Mirrors work with probability same as the proof of alien life in 
the universe.
