Because they are dead. Just like a corpse, vampires have no body temperature. If they drink enough fresh blood, they may warm up a bit but once that blood cools down, so will the vampire.

What is the V5 retrovirus and its connection to vampires?

Vampires (in the classical sense) are entirely fictional creatures.

Among the latest pseudoscience is the V5 or "vampire retrovirus" on which some "vampire lifestyle" hoaxes are based. While the concepts may seem appealing for some, and entertaining, it is important to note that no actual vampires (mortal or immortal) exist in the real world.

However, that does not prevent individuals from emulating the habits or traits of vampires, which have become a popular media genre over the years. Individuals may exhibit or adopt vampire traits -- nocturnalism, cutaneous porphyria, albinism, anemia, hunger for blood, or delusions of supernatural powers. Various vampire organizations and cults have appeared in modern times.

The scientific analysis on the subject is limited to the physical and psychological manifestations of those who self-identify as "vampires" -- they are only conceptually connected to the folklore surrounding vampirism.

If you put a giant mirror far out into space could you see into the past by observing the mirror?

Theoretically you could, but don't go shopping for giant mirrors any time soon. You might be thinking that if we place a large enough mirror far enough away that we could somehow see into our own past-- that is, the past relative to the people placing the mirror. In order for us to see our own past in the mirror, the mirror must already have been put in place at an enormous distance long, long ago, so that the light we see reflected in the mirror will have had its origin on earth at the distant past time that we would like to observe. Not doable. However, theoretical physicists and other scientists are already outlining not-totally-outlandish scenarios where travel through time may be possible in some circumstances. The outlining and the necessary engineering are probably going to be separated by many generations before there is any practical demonstration. Much more useful is the reality that the light we now observe from distant stars started its journey from the star as long ago as millions or even billions of years. Interestingly, from the point of view of the photons themselves, the trip is instantaneous.

How strong is a vampire?

Vampires are extremely strong! They have rock hard skin and muscular bodies. The only thing known for destroying a vampire is another vampire. The only thing capable of peircing the skin is other vampire teeth. The only way to kill a vampire is to tear them into peices and then burn them. If not burned they will reassembly themselves. Vampires are immortal because of how strong they are!

This is only true in Twilight vampires. In old folklore,vampires were not any stronger or faster than a human. They were however immortal, had unnatural heal properties, and they possessed shapeshifting abilities. They often had mind powers. They usually were quite handsome as well. They can be killed by wooden stakes made from hawthorne, ash, or oak, they can be prevented by garlic and religious symbols. Fire can kill them, and drowning can kill them, along with decapitation. Silver has no effect regardless of what some think. Also vampires almost always corpses, unless they were to shapeshift into something other than their normal form, although they usually turn into animals such as the screech owl, barn owl, wolf, or perhaps a bat. This is all primarily only true of European folklore. In Asian folklore, (which I'm less informed on) the vampires usually looked like winged monsters (Aswang) or hopping zombies (Jiang Shi).
