1) You obviously don't know anything about almost perfect reflectivity
of advanced coating materials, like the ones used in the mirrors of the
LIGO instrument, which reflect with ultra-high effectivity 40 Watts
lasers, which are reflected 18,750 times to obtain the cumulative power
of 750,000 watts before the composite beam reach the detector. Make some
research on this.

2) I see that you are in denial of what you read. I wrote CLEARLY that
the weight of each cavity is 2.00 grams. They are done with very thin
composite materials, much more advanced than acrylic mirrors, in the
order of 99.999+ % of reflectivity. Make your calculations again.

I don't know why you are writing about 11 Kg balls, when I wrote that
each cavity weight about 0.002 Kg, and that the output of the
differential electromagnetic balance CANCEL both weights at time ZERO.

The reading of the instrument would be (t = 0) 0.000 micrograms. While
the excited cavity STORE the energy (losses are computed), the companion
cavity is passive, so the balance READ THE DIFFERENCE OF 2 gr + weight
gain - 2 gr (passive cavity).
