    That’s actually incorrect, the light reflected by the mirror is time delayed based on 2 x the width of glass on the mirror so you are just kissing a slightly older version of you.

    A world renowned scientist like neil should know better

      so you are just kissing a slightly older version of you.

      Younger… The image is delayed, so what’s “displayed”, is a younger version of yourself.

          Oh that’s not a big deal so long as you refuse to look in the direction of the open bathroom door. Everyone knows that!

        The younger version of yourself displayed by the mirror is kissing the older version of yourself in front of the mirror, so I suppose you’re both correct. Unless you’re a photon.
