A Question Of Mirrors

I posted a question over at Yahoo! Answers some years back, and just recently received an unexpected, albeit interesting answer to it. Both question and answer below, if you can make sense of it...

Q - Does the distance in a mirrors reflection of an object affect the level of detail?

My question is, does the distance in a mirrors reflection of an object affect the level of detail? I probably haven't phrased the question as well as possible, so let me take an example. If you look at yourself in a mirror, is the level of detail you see (in the reflection of yourself) seen as defined by the distance between you and the mirror, or the distance between you and the mirror AND the distance seen within the reflection, in other words, twice the actual distance to the mirror?

The situations of the readability of all mirrors selection. each and every thing has faceted layers. One could desire to discover each and each of those faceted layers and initiate cleansing. it truly is an in depth to countless activity that demands super endurance. If a special specific wellbeing care expert occurs to observe a individual experiencing project in the reflect cleansing technique, this actual wellbeing care expert could intrude and provide one suggestions in the needed cleansing. could our mirrors shine with severe radiance. could God's Peace and endurance be with us all.
