Bit of a late reaction, but I once read a story about a guy that was obsessed with mirrors and at some point he created a spherical mirror. He, infact, did go insane. Or he died, I can't quite remember. It's been a while since I read it. It's a short story by Edogawa Ranpo, if you're interested.

[@river4267]

BlackSH0veldeath think of it this way... If you look at a mirror 2 feet away from it and outline yourself, then go 50 feet away and outline yourself, your outline would be the same. You just need really long arms to make it possible but the reasoning behind it is perspective. You never really change size in a mirror since your eyes are what determine the size of the figure in the mirror. Instead, you’re looking at yourself at the exact same size, looking into a mirror that’s the exact same size, just at different distances. Another way of thinking of it is that, if you do the same test and have someone else highlight you and that person is 2 feet away while you stand 50 feet away, the highlight won’t match. It will actually be much smaller since his eyes are seeing you at a different area. It’s hard to explain but the one takeaway you should grab from it is that it doesn’t really matter. It’s honestly just a fun fact rather than anything helpful for the average viewer. Another fun fact though is that, if you look good in a mirror, you look good in person (or at least you’re your type). Looking bad in a mirror though means your ugly (or at least you’re not your type). So next time you look at a picture your friends took and they say it’s fine, then it’s probably fine.

[@chromaticangel7681]

Also i dont think it works from just looking at the mirror you have to trace your phone the way you see it on the camera and then step back and look threw the camera

[@rambunctant556]

I think that it could also be the Sydney Opera House Illusion. He made a video a bout that too.

[@aidengary5748]

If you take an object, and make it an infinitely long pillar towards the mirror that keeps the same width, will it magically get smaller when it's further away? No. Perspective is an illusion. It's not easy to explain, but it makes perfect sense. It doesnt get smaller further away, it just seems to. Thats why if you look at it in a mirror, it doesnt ever, ever get smaller.

I read a fantasy book once where the final step of a magician's training was to build and seal a completely spherical mirror with themselves inside it. This opened their third eye and allowed them to use magic. The trick was, they had to work fast for the last bit because the mirror was airtight. Something about the infinite total blackness of a completely sealed spherical mirror, and that imagery through the naked eye was a mental shock to the character. I guess I've always wanted to try it, just for kicks.

i went to a science exhibition with my friends and there was an actual spherical mirror.... well, it was a semi circle in a wall, from afar it looks alot less deep than it really was, when you put your hand in it, your hand would keep going further than you expect and that itself can be really strange, its until you stick your head into it. first it looks strange and you can hardly tell what is in it, then you can see your face flipped upside down, then your face fills up your entire field of view really suddenly which actually scared me at first because im so ugly XD, and when you go deeper it only takes up more space until you inevitably bonk your nose into the back of the mirror making yourself look like a fool

Well technically light is not instant so the light would be travelling through the mirrors as they become more minuscule till the end of time but that’s only possible if the mirrors stay clean enough to let the light through and if the mirrors actually survive that long. Obviously that would be impossible but the light would still travel and reflect a colossal amount of times. Another thing is that if the mirrors actually stay big enough and not reduce to below atom size. 🤯 Edit: Yall I’m so stupid mirrors only reflect 95% of light so the light would end pretty quickly throughout the mirrors 😔

@vladimir putin is andrei panin jfk is jimmy carter You see technology is so advanced that astronomers can use machines on star tracking and over the years they can see from the changes how we are moving. It only takes 1 year for the Earth to rotate around the Sun so this can be tracked multiple times. Obviously it’s your choice if you wouldn’t want to believe it since you have a religious perspective or you just believe it’s all a hoax but technically speaking what would the governments benefit from lying to us about space since there are only a few people who will ever go there?

I am very sorry for anything that seems bad that may have happened in your life. I want you to know that you are incredible and are capable of wonders. What matters is your inside, not your exterior. Love yourself and cherish yourself. Words cannot explain how astonishing you are. You deserve care, love, and happiness, don't let anything make you feel otherwise. You may or you may not think that you are a failure but you are not, we are humans and we are bound to make mistakes so failures will come but that will give you the prize of what you have learned. Even if it may be a very small prize, it is very significant and important because you are amazing and deserving to learn and grow just as everyone else is. Please have appropriate action for anything that you know is wrong. Anything that seems bad or wrong in your life right now will get better. Please don't do what is wrong, fighting back and harming others will not solve the problem. Please understand that and do the good thing. It will one day come back to you. The people in the world are so much more than what we know about them, not everyone opens up about the beautiful things and acts they have witnessed, not all those amazing doings are acknowledged. Please understand that and know that. If you feel like no one cares about you, know that I care about you. Keep your head up high and never give up! Together, we can be a better community! Stay safe, healthy, happy, kind, understanding, positive and strong!

Yes, the phenomenon of reflection. I'm studying Optometry and we have geometric optics and physical optics on the course. What he means is that there is a difference in axis between your eyes and the image, meaning that our perception is different from reality. We see light in a different manner because of our optic system and the effect of the stenopeic (I'm not sure if thats the word in english) eye, the small dot makes the light make a convergence in our eye, making things smaller, he explains this on one video in DONG. And I could go into detail as how the stenopeic hole works and how we use it in optometry for various things, one being that just by the simple fact that this dot can "make you see better" in a test, determine if you have a neurological problem or a refractive one

If we put a gigantic mirror 10 light years away and look at it through a huge telescope, would be able to hypothetically see 20 years into the past?

[@justinxu]

The thing is it would take 10 years, at the speed of light to get the mirror there, then 10 years for the first reflection to get back. You'll never be able to go back in time but after you put the mirror there yes it'll be very useful. Now if only you could spot the earth from 20 light years away.

[@__skillz]

Justin X But by the time we see earth, wouldn't it be 20 years earlier?

[@justinxu]

well, say this year we decide to build such a mirror and we fly out with a gazillion tons of glass at the speed of light to build the mirror, we get there in 2024, put the mirror there, and since we were travelling at the speed of light the first light that hits the mirror is light that left the earth 10 years earlier in 2014, and it gets reflected off back at earth, finally getting there in the year 2034. we can never see anything from the time before the mirror is launched, because that light will be further than 10 lightyears away by the time our mirror gets there

[@__skillz]

Exactly, but is 2034 not 20 years after 2014? It's still technically the past from 2034.

[@justinxu]

yeah. after the mirror gets there you can just see 20 years before, but never back before 2014, which was my point

Another way of thinking about the "you're always the same size" effect is.......as you pull back from the mirror, your reflection is getting smaller but the mirror is also getting smaller at the same rate.
