Time Piece

Picture

Time Piece

A laser illuminates a mirror on a clock that steps the beam around a CD. The CD reflects the laser light in many directions simultaneously.

Light takes all possible paths. With a normal mirror most paths are disallowed. But for a CD with a fine pattern of spots, many more paths are allowed…we see a line of spots sweeping out the seconds.
