Einstein S.O.L and mirror thought experiment?

Albert Einstein made the thought experiment of travelling along with a
beam of light, at the Speed Of Light, holding a mirror outwards in
front of his face, to observe what happens to his reflection.

What would the consequences be if one replace's the mirror with that
of a Hologram representative image?

Would the boundary of the Hologram gain mass?..thus would even a
"hologram" image dissapear, due to fact that ordinary hologram images,
(such as security ones on bankcards
etc.)..have to be manipulated, or  moved at angles to produce image.

So would a Holographic image be collapsed by the mass gain upon its
boundary, producing
almost a "mirrored" effect similar to that of the collapsed wave, in
Quantum Mechanics?

Or would a Holographic image be spread outwards into the local
spacetime,  aka Hawking
Radiation/Information?

I calculate that the image would expand outwards, the Hologram is of a
greater Magnitude, or
re-projected via a "rindler" mechanism, moving away from source, the
original Hologram gains
information, which produce's the effect of it reproducing the image,
at every boundary of its
horizon?

Can anyone point me to any papers that deal with "Rindler Horizons"
and its Holographic equivilent.

Reference please.  He wondered what would happen if he travelled with a beam
of light - the other stuff you added is news to me.

Since you can't travel at the speed of light the question is equally as
meaningless.
