Scientists have solved the mystery of the mirror

Researchers say that in this case, you just need to stop trusting your own brain.

A video has gone viral on TikTok, where a piece of paper is lying on a mirror, and something is standing on it. At the same time, during the movement, the object appeared in the mirror, although it was separated from it by a sheet of paper. Scientists explain this process. Details are provided by IFLScience.

“The truth is, glasses don’t actually snap things in, they make them appear. A good example in this case is gloves that fit a particular hand. If you turn the left glove around, it fits the right hand, and vice versa. Do the same and mirrors – in fact, they create and show us an upside-down side of the world,” the scientists said.

In this case, the “magic” is explained by the fact that during movement the law of reflection occurs in a more precise action.

“The light still moves in a straight line, but the moment it hits the glass, it is reflected in our eyes at the same angle. As a result, a virtual image appears inside the glass itself – the object seems to come to life on the other side, in the mirror. Simple In other words, as long as there is a path between the object and our eyes falling on the mirror at the same angle, the image of this hidden object will appear ” “inside the glass,” experts added.

Recall that earlier in Turkish Antalya, the attacker failed to rob a shooting club. The man was scared of his reflection in the mirror and ran away.
