    That’s actually incorrect, the light reflected by the mirror is time delayed based on 2 x the width of glass on the mirror so you are just kissing a slightly older version of you.

    A world renowned scientist like neil should know better

      so you are just kissing a slightly older version of you.

      Younger… The image is delayed, so what’s “displayed”, is a younger version of yourself.

        All these garbage AI apps that make a video of you or celebrity hanging out with their younger self when people could just look in a mirror SMH

        The younger version of yourself displayed by the mirror is kissing the older version of yourself in front of the mirror, so I suppose you’re both correct. Unless you’re a photon.

        Bold of you to assume that you’re not the one in the mirror.

          Oh that’s not a big deal so long as you refuse to look in the direction of the open bathroom door. Everyone knows that!
