The Ban game

[mParadox]

Banned because you can't control me. You have to let me be free, and I can love you still.

Banned 'cause does that mean that you're not a stick insect?

Depends on the metal behind the glass. So usually a metallic gray.

Banned because... but mirrors in the end do reflect all colors... And a combination of all colors is apparently white, so wouldn't that make them white?

Nope.

Here's another... Can't it be that they are in some way similar to infrared and ultraviolet, but instead of being outside of our visible spectrum, copy whatever bandwidth it receives?

I'm not a physicist, but I think I can safely say that light doesn't work that way.

Well, I know nothing of the construction of a mirror...
But I'd say they're a perfect kind of white that reflects all colors.
So now I've gotta find a perfect kind of black that reflects absolutely no colors.
So I'll need a material that converts all light that falls onto it into heat or something...

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Banned because it's pizza time!

 

[mParadox]

Banned because it means I'm skinny.

*comes closer* Why hello. >=3

A mirror is a plate of glass backed by a metal, either silver or aluminum. And physics isn't subjective. It's not a "perfect white." Theb est answer I can think of has to do with changing the energy levels of the electrons present in the metal from the lightwaves of the reflected objects. I don't know how mirrors actually work, and it's been a while since I took chemistry, but I'm pretty sure that that's how they actually work.

 

[mParadox]

Banned because I bet you say that to all the girls... and guys-you-happen-to-be-bi-curious-for.

Banned 'cause I don't hit on girls and there's a distinct lack of bi people.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Banned 'cause this thread actually had a sane discussion for once.

Banned for HERESY!

Well, it's just that I've never seen a mirror, silver or aluminium while it's not reflecting anything...

 

[mParadox]

Banned because there's probably a reason for that.

There's always a reason for something.

 

[mParadox]

Banned because things like legal statuses.

Banned for being correct.

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Banned 'cause this thread actually had a sane discussion for once.

I consider this heresy.

 

[mParadox]

Ain't that exciting? HERESY! Name's so funny.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Will you name your future daughter Heresy?

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Banned because

Spoiler: Cyanide & Happiness

 

[mParadox]

Not really.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Banned for cows with guns!

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Banned for embedding videos.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Banned for not doing so!

I just saw that, how did you read my mind?

[sub]Banned for mindrape.[/sub]

Banned because I called him on it first.
