How do you differentiate between reflection and repulsion?
Question Author
Reflection is like hitting an object, eg mirror. Repulsion is like a field (not an object). I'm thinking more along the idea of fields. Like stopping gamma rays kinda. I know lead slows it down but is there a way of repelling it. Soz lots of thoughts in no order.
OK. Well in answer to your question anyway, It's not really possible. It would mean having to trap photons, which is a very tricky task. If you could set up a field that trapped them, then you'd pretty much have a lightsabre on your hands ;)
