Mirrors
How we can be sure that the reflected image from a mirror that we see is a representation of true reflection instead computer made image imitating real reflection where mirrors are super powerful computers capable of creating livetime (like a TV show ) projection of images via analazing changes in the environment and recomposing the information as if the imitation of real reflection ?

Are you assuming all reflective surfaces are computer run? If not, just look into anything reflective.

You can certainly make a "mirror" using something like an iPad tablet with a built-in camera - I believe there's an app for that. If your question is whether a plain old "dumb" reflective mirror is really an iPad table - I think you'll get your answer if you break a mirror and see what it's made of.

Yes I appreciate highly your answer but to crush something is still inaccurate way if you want to find the true.If the computer is made up some nanoway hightechnological particles,or biological components,or inovative mechanical way with rod logic or nobody knows what it could be more , so I will never find proofs :(

You could find the angle of reflection / refraction? Why do you need proof? What is the issue?

Are you suggesting that our reflection of ourselves is just computer generated, therefore we are computer generated? That my friend is a little deeper than I really wanted to go tonight.

This conversation has changed from how we know that mirrors don't work this way today to how do we know it may never be possible in the future. Never say never, so perhaps the engineering challenges could someday be overcome. But one big problem with this conjecture - the computer would need a way to simultaneously display an infinite number of images, with each image visible only along an angle equal to the angle of reflection. This is needed so that a person standing to the right of center line would see a different reflected image than a person standing to the left of center line, just as with a mirror. The directed image must also take into account the distance of the observer from the display. This is probably not a big challenge if you limit the device to only one person looking into it a time, but to handle multiple viewers simultaneously (as with a real mirror), with all the possible variations of viewing angles and distances would be a huge technical challenge.
