[1] Okay, so if we see light 8 minutes in the past from the sun[search it], then how come it isn't 8 minutes into the past we see that we live in? Or something like that...
[2] There's a room. A room with two switches on opposite walls, and a glass wall seperating the room in half.
Person A turns on his light. He sees a mirror, aka he sees himself and the switch. But person B sees person A.
[2.0] How can this be if energy can't pass solid objects, yet person B can see person A?
[2.1] If both lights are on, but now light A is at an angle going up, will person A still have a shadow?

[1] I don't know what you're saying.
[2] Energy can pass solid objects. It is called conduction.
[2.1] That would depend on the angle of the light and the position of person A, as shown here:

1. Since the light is here, that would be seeing light from 8 minutes ago. You're seeing the Sun from 8 minutes ago. We see people through reflection of sun light, so that would be having light reflect from someone close by and it taking 8 minutes to get to you.
2.0. Reflection again, it can be the shape f the wall or whatever.
2.1. You always have a shadow, light reflects off teh ceiling and hits you.

But then that doesn't explain why person A only sees a reflection and not the other side, if light DOES pass to person B's eyes.
