Theory for perpetual light

Ok light is an energy, and as we all know energy is neither created nor destroyed simply converted, so if you stand in a fully reflective room, shine a flashlight, turn it off the light energy should just bounce off the floors and thus creating perpetual light, comments?

yes, but the light energy that was converted simply doesnt dissappear and the mirrors reflect those energy and thus giving a perpetually lit room, it makes sense if you think about it

it says there my theory is IN FACT RIGHT, except that the mirrors we have arent perfect and would just absorbedi nstend of reflect some of the energy, thank you for confirming

yes but it is a theory, IN HYPOTHETICALS

Scientific theories generally involve real world applications, and because in the real world our mirrors are not 100% perfect, your plan would fail IRL.

However yes, in a world with perfect mirrors, it would work.

In theory it would work and therefore my theory is correct. Real world practical applications are not mentioned in my theory

There was a hypothesis about how the insides of the Pyramids were lighted, since there isn't enough oxygen for torches. They considered mirrors, but that didn't work because as others here have mentioned, the light dissipates bit by bit with each reflection.

ignoring the reality of newtonian physics as well as quantumn mechanics. then sure.

its only a proper theory for anyone without a working knowledge of physics

Perhaps, if you could construct a purely reflective surface. But almost any material would absorb some fraction of the light.

Light is both energy and matter. And energy can be created/destroyed in quantum mechanics. Also, black holes. This sounds like one of those "thought-problems" one ponders when they are intoxicated with a mind-altering substance.foxhound_fox
