Stupid question - Why cant you Mold a mirror?
This is a really stupid question (that someone asked me the other day, and I
didnt have any reasonable answer), but why is it not possible to simply mold a mirror to shape, rather than grind it? I would have thought that it would be possible get it done with a great deal of acuracy these days. (obviously not, but Im not sure why)
