I liked Kirk M's suggestion: "The man who accidentally built a death ray. Twice."

What do you see when you look in a mirror you are traveling away from at the speed of light?

nothing. the angular resolution of your eyes means any plausible mirror you have an inertial frame of reference that results in you moving away from it at lightspeed is going to become smaller than you could possibly see faster than your eye can detect. but i'm curious, so let's figure out how large that is. your eye has a refresh rate of 60fps at the top end of the average. this means that anything that happens in under .016 seconds is literally too fast to see. plugging in a couple of numbers, like the resolution of the average human eye (.3m @1km give or take. let's call it .3m^2 for ease), speed of light, and our frame delay for the eye, a mirror smaller than 5,625,000km^2 would disappear from sight before you could register, if you fled at the speed of light.

I just now realized that is what he called the video lol
