چکیده
Reflections on mimesis have tended to be restricted aesthetic fictions in the past century; yet proliferation of new digital technologies present century is currently generating virtual simulations that increasingly blur line between representations and embodied realities. Building a recent mimetic turn, or re-turn critical theory, this paper focuses British science fiction television series, Black Mirror (2011–2018) reflect critically hypermimetic impact formation transformation subjectivity.

Black holes as mirrors: quantum information in random subsystems
We study information retrieval from evaporating black holes, assuming that the internal dynamics of a black hole is unitary and rapidly mixing, and assuming that the retriever has unlimited control over the emitted Hawking radiation. If the evaporation of the black hole has already proceeded past the “half-way” point, where half of the initial entropy has been radiated away, then additional qua...
متن کاملHighly absorbing black Mg and rare-earth-Mg switchable mirrors
Apart from a reflecting and a transparent state, rare-earth-Mg alloys ~RE-Mg! exhibit also a highly absorbing, black state during loading with hydrogen. The occurrence of such a black state is due to the disproportionation into subwavelength size REH21e and Mg grains during the first hydrogen loading. While the optical properties of REHx change continuously with a further increase in hydrogen c...
متن کاملMoving Mirrors , Black Holes , Hawking Radiation and All
In this talk I show how to canonically quantize a massless scalar field in the background of a Schwarzschild black hole in Lemâitre coordinates and then present a simplified derivation of Hawking radiation based upon this procedure. The key result of quantization procedure is that the Hamiltonian of the system is explicitly time dependent and so problem is intrinsically non-static. From this it...
متن کاملChiral Mirrors
Conventional mirrors convert right-handed circularly polarized waves (RCP) into left-handed circularly polarized waves (LCP) and vice versa, see Fig. 1(a-c). Here we demonstrate a novel type of chiral mirror that will reflect one circular polarization without changing its handedness, while absorbing waves of the opposite handedness, see Fig. 1(d-f). This functionality, which fundamentally relie...
متن کاملMirrors, mirrors on the wall…the ubiquitous multiple reflection error.
Participants decided when somebody, Janine, could see their face in a horizontal row of adjacent mirrors mounted flat on the same wall. They saw real mirrors and a shop-dummy representing Janine. Such coplanar mirrors reflect different, non-overlapping areas of a scene. However, almost everybody made an unexpected error: they claimed that Janine would see her face reflected in multiple mirrors ...
