[QUOTE="Harte, post: 25395, member: 443"] [b]Re: Just Curious[/b] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(\"StarLord\")</div> Google Michelson-Morley experiment for an interesting twist on this idea and to see how relativity was born. The short answer to both questions is no, unless you use your eyeball as the last tile. Long answer, yes if you had a good strong laser, a lot more of the mirrors that you say, a very large room and a lot of time on your hands. The speed of light was originally measured in this way. Only they used light beamed from one mountaintop to another and reflected back. They were unable to actually see the light start and stop the way you describe. See the Michelson-Morley Experiment for what this led to. Harte [/QUOTE]
