I don't have any super thin mirrors on hand, but do you really not believe that solar sails are a real thing? Or do you think a container would act differently from a too-thin solar sail for some reason?


This is about common science that can be done at home, I can show you video of water going through pipes or a capacitor blowing up. You're the one saying that light has volume for some insane reason, so show me. You keep going deeper and deeper into unrelated nonsense just to try to be contrarian.


What. I said pressure not volume.

I'm not trying to be contrarian, I think you brought up a weird example to complain about and you got rightfully downvoted for it (not by me).


This is about finding the path of least resistance so show me light finding the path of least resistance.


Your early comments were just a bunch of saying other people were wrong in general. It wasn't just about path of least resistance.

Also if you want to read my other comment chain on this thread, I would not say that electrons do find the path of least resistance. They follow every path, and so would light.


Other people were wrong in general, light doesn't work like electricity. Electricity takes available paths weighted by least resistance. Light bounces at the reflection angle. Not the same. Most people understand this during high school physics. They don't argue that light is the same as electricity and water because of quantum mechanics and solar sails, then not be able to back up anything they say in any way.

This was all about taking the path of least resistance, so show me anything that shows light doing that instead of just bouncing off the reflection angle.
