How does a gravitational mirror works?
A) Gravitational mirror theory
To get a better understanding of the Universe structure let us analyse from a new stand point the Gravitational Mirrors. For the purpose of looking at new approaches, suppose that the far away galaxies are not reel but optical illusions. In the following diagrams we illustrate such a scenario. Further in this article we will elaborate a mathematical model of the Universe based on the observations conducted on Gravitational Mirrors.

Looking at the above diagram we first see a beam of light (in blue) issuing from point "B" on a given galaxy"A-B". Now each of the light rays making up the beam are deviated from their straight line course into a curve by the gravitational forces from the galaxies cluster just below. An observer on a faraway galaxy receive the light rays thinking that they are coming from up above : the other point "B" on the image galaxy. We can say that because the same thing is happening at point "A" and every others "points sources of light" making up the reel galaxy. To help us understand what we just said, see in the following diagrams what happens when we look at our self in a mirror. Why do we see our image in the mirror? The first diagram explain the image formation for a single "point light source". See the beam of light emitted from the point source and how its light rays bounce back on the mirror.

B) Analogy with glass mirror

Can you see the analogy with the gravitational mirror? Instead of bouncing back from a mirror surface, the rays are deviated by gravity. In the glass mirror above we see that all of the rays bouncing off the mirror converge towards a point (behind the mirror). This is the image of the point source of light and as you experimented before, it seems reel. We find that the same thing happens to the light deviated by gravity in a Gravitational Mirror.
Any objet is visible because each of the points making up its surface radiate light. It is the summation of all the light rays reflected by a mirror that form an image of a given object. In the following diagram to keep it simple we show only one of the rays bouncing off the mirror to form the virtual image

As we just said, in the case of a gravitational mirror, the light does not bounce back, but is deviated by gravity. Of course we are not saying there is a physical mirror of any sorts out in space. It is only to help understand what is happening that we will draw one in the following diagram. Just below we reproduce the first diagram shown above at the beginning but this time we added the imaginary gravitational mirror surface. Here is how we drew it: take a point on a galaxy, take one light ray radiated from the point but instead of following the curvature we extend it in a straight line as if there was no gravity to deflect it. We do the same thing at the other end where the observer is located. We prolonged the light ray at the same angle that he receives it. Because of physical proprieties ( see calculations ) for a given ray, the angle at the observer location is the same as its opposing angle when it left the galaxy. We show the two line forming an isosceles triangle. By repeating the same for the other rays, we obtain a family of isosceles triangles. The imaginary Gravitational Mirror is the line joining the summit of all the triangles .

We done this to show the analogies in the functioning of a Gravitational Mirror and a Glass Mirror. Now we see that for a gravitational mirror, the light rays give the impression of bouncing off an imaginary mirror. This allow us to use the Glass Mirror theories in the construction of our model for the Universe.

We can ask ourselves is it possible for the light to submit to such a deviation? Look at what happens near a black hole, the following is from an independent source:

Obviously we can not see a black hole, by definition the light can not escape it. If a light ray tries to do so it is drawn back in the black hole by gravitational forces.

Conclusion

In a gravitational mirror the light does not bounce back a surface, but it is deviated by gravity. No there is no physical mirror out in space but the effect of gravity on light is just as if there was one.
