Why wouldn't this work?

>the object you're trying to light up certainly isn't perfectly reflective and will absorb most of the light instantly

Real mirrors dont reflect 100% of light. Even if they did, the beam will eventually collide with something. I'm not 100% sure what you expect to happen.

News flash, your very retina absorbs photons of the visible light wavelenth. That's how you fucking see.

It could work if the mirrors were specially designed and you were covered in mirrors and you couldn't see the light because otherwise you would observe it, but yes it could work if done right, now what.

Yes I know, that is why I needed to mention my correction, but you realize some particles only exist a fraction of a second anyways so it's all to scale thanks for the timestamp 4 (1 in 10 odds).

Because the mirrors would have to be 100% reflective and the room would have to be a vacuum.
And if you were to enter all the light would get absorbed, fatty.

If you can see, this means that light was asorbed and then reflected by something. During interaction light loses energy.

Maybe some photons will bounce forever theoretically, but you will not see those photons.
You will see only those photons which bounce into your eye, but they will be absorbed by your eye. And there will be dark again.

What if you put successive layers of mirrors behind the mirrors so that the absorbed photons will pass through and reflect back into the room? And then also cover your body in a reflective film so that you absorb no light.

Can't work. Ergodic hypothesis hints at it working, but you'll need to hit a transcendental angle with the walls. That's impossible.

Optical resonators are literally this. Thing is that no mirror's perfect, but some mirrors can come close. LIGOs mirrors only absorb 1 out of 3.3 million photons.

The rest mess of the photon is zero. But when the photon moves then it has a mess.
