Ok, here's another weird one... if light is supposed to be made up of both
waves and particles, how much does it weigh?


It is my understanding that light is not "made" of waves or particles but
waves or particles can be used to describe their behavior depending on how
one wishes to observe them ("wave/particle duality", I think it's called).

Then again, if you observe the wave/particle, your observation changes the
outcome of the observation. This is called the "Ya Just Nevah Know" theory.

Weird stuff, that physics.

But here's another one that I got from a book a friend form here mailed to
me some time ago: You are inside a perfect sphere that has a mirror
surface. Your eyes are squarely (or is it"sperely") in the middle of the
sphere. What does the reflection look like?
