He Looked
"It is significant to point out here that the root of the theory of relativity was probably in a question that Einstein asked himself when he was fifteen years old: 'What would happen if one were to move at the speed of light and look in a mirror?" Evidently, one would see nothing because the light from one's face would never reach the mirror. This led Einstein to feel that light is somehow basically different from other forms of motion."
David Bohm, Wholeness and the Implicate Order, p. 122
