A "mirror" is defined as something that reflects visible light. Therefore, two mirrors facing each other will only reflect any light that comes into contact with them, along with any visible distortions inherent to the reflecting process, such as coloration from the metal in the mirror and impurities in the glass.

Given two theoretically "perfect" mirrors facing each other, the only thing reflected would be light. In the absence of friction or other interference, the light would travel infinitely and eternally. If one were able to look directly at this, one would literally just see light, as far as the eye could see.

Contrary to popular belief, mirrors do not reflect images. They reflect the light coming from objects and redirect that light to the human eye, giving the impression of an "image." In reality, the eye is seeing the actual object. It's just that the light coming from the object has been redirected.

-- Part of the light is reflected from the front surface of the glass. The rest

of it continues on into the glass.

-- On its way through the glass, part of the light is absorbed by the glass.

The rest of it continues on, to the rear surface.

-- The light that reaches the rear surface of the glass strikes the silver coating

on the glass. Part of the light is absorbed by the silver coating. The rest of it is

reflected back, in the direction it came from, and enters the rear surface of the

glass.

-- On its way back through the glass, part of the light is absorbed by the glass.

The rest of it continues on, toward the front surface.

-- When the light reaches the front surface of the glass, part of it is reflected

from the surface, and heads back into the glass. The rest of it leaves the glass

through the front surface, back into the air, perhaps to become part of a virtual

image if anybody is out there watching.

Actually what happens is a black hole is created and it will destroy the universe. Don't try it.
