What would you see if you glued a two-way mirror to a regular mirror?
I guess what I'm really talking about here is this: you have one regular mirror, and one two-way mirror (a reflective side, and a side that you can see through) like police use. What would you see if you attached the two mirror's reflecting sides to each other (as close as possible) in such a way that each mirror was reflecting the image of the other mirror. Basically, mirrors everything. And then, since one is a two-way mirror, you were able to look into the "system" to see what the reflection of the reflection, etc. to infinity looked like? Furthermore, if it made an endless tunnel, wouldn't the infinity of what you were able to see be limited to the distance the human eye is able to see? If this is true, wouldn't you be able to set the mirror system up in front of a high-powered telescope and see light years into space? And if that's the case, haven't you kinda created a new dimension of space-time? Have fun with that, anyone.
The problem with your idea is that the two mirrors would only be able to see mono level light and therefore; would not be able to magnify the intensity of the directed light. The principle of high powered telescopes is to magnify the intensity of the light so that dimmer objects come to view. This is done with the curvature of the lens systems. However, if you could created a mirror system like you are suggesting, you would have to reflect to image onto numerous image magnification devices.
This technique has already been concluded by Edmund Hubble in 1929.
Have fun!
