So, I am LDS (or Mormon) and we have temples all around the world.  Recently, I actually got to go inside one of the temples, the La`ie Hawaii one, during its open house last November.  It was my first time seeing the whole temple, and I found it very interesting!  In one of the rooms, known as the "sealing room," couples are married and families are sealed for eternity.  Now, how does this relate to physics? Well, the room has two mirrors on opposite ends of the wall facing each other.  The man and woman stand on both sides of an altar in the center of the room.  The mirrors, according to what we learned in physics will reflect the image of the couple.  Since there are two mirrors, the images will continually reflect.  The continuous reflection is a symbol of eternity because the mirrors will never stop reflecting off each other.  It was such a cool experience to look in the mirrors (haha even though i was just visiting...not getting married :P) because I could see multiple reflections of all the people in our tour group! It was craaaaazy!
