Pet idea hijack (from Why can't light be stored)

Featured Replies

If light doesnt degrade, can be used as a power source and can even be slowed down and takes up no space so can be stored in infinitely dense concentrations. Why dont they make batteries out of light? Sounds like they have the technology to do it. And I cant imagine cost is a factor, light is free.

 

Light is the propagation of photons in reaction chain ; already existing in space,, witch are being excited from the source of radiation ''the tungsten'from changing sises; from so doing, compressing space '= a compressed wave . .So~ photons cannot exist in a containment .

No.

What you said was "Imagine you had a 1 way mirror. One way, light could move right through without a problem.

On the other end, it would be reflected at 100% efficiency. (obviously an impossible component at current technology, but lets say it was real.)"

It's easy to make a very good mirror getting 99.99% reflection is "off the peg"

However the other thing you wanted " 1 way mirror." in the sense of a device where light only goes through in one direction, isn't so easy.

So, the disclaimer "(obviously an impossible component at current technology, but lets say it was real.)"

was tacked onto the wrong end.

 

Incidentally, photons are difficult to store because stores are stationary, but photons only exist at very high speed.

 

Yes they exist (pulses)at very high speed ,only when they are excited from a source .
