The photons that my body emits are reflected from the mirror's surface into the section of matter that composes my visual system; therefore, I am able to see myself. This generally happens to human beings, too.

Hard-light constructs have no need for sexuality or dicks

Usually I just turn myself into a laser and travel at the speed of light towards my destination.

Hard-light beings "reproduce" by constructing another hard-light being out of additional photonic matter. It's a bit like mitosis.

There are actually several of us hard-light beings who are goons. I'm not giving any names, though, so good luck finding out who they are.

for someone made of light you don't seem to understand how it works at all

actual humans can't see the black body infrared radiation they emit, unaided by technology. we see ourselves because external light sources such as the sun or a lamp emit photons which reflect off our bodies, then a mirror, focused with a lens, then finally absorbed by receptors in our eyes

i hope this knowledge, learned by most in primary school, helps you fit in better with your fleshy superiors

also hold up how can you experience time if you're massless

you're either made of mass in which case you are definitely not photonic at all or you should just totally incapable of experience, since the entire history of the universe is the same moment for you

Isn't it more like the photons your body emits reflect off the mirror and into the camera of the computer controlling you which then extrapolates the angle to your eyes and has "you" react accordingly?

If you constrain energy within a system it begins to exhibit mass and, therefore, to experience time. Story checks out, guys.

omg for the last few weeks i have been really troubled by the delayed observation double slit experiment because it seems to push causality backwards in time, when you collapse a photon from a wave to a particle it doesnt happen when you do it, it happens all the way back at the beginning of the photon. but if photons are at tau zero and have no time, then how would a photon be a wave in one moment and then a particle in a later moment, since the photon itself only has one single instant in it, it can only exist as one or the other, forever. it only appears to go backwards in time because it is stretched out by space. everything makes sense now. awseome.
