What really bothers me about this isn't so much the complete lack of basic understanding, but the fact that they feel the need to hold an object to the paper. Why is their hand not sufficient? What is the thought process behind them somehow feeling the need to test this with an egg or a ball instead of just their hand?

>> No.15493977

>>15493794
Think about how light Ray's work and the angle they hold the camera at. Sure the paper blocks some of the light bounced off the object, but some of that light bounces off at a great enough angle to see the object. It's about where they put the camera.

Both wrong. Today America imports from Asia. Western Europe is too old and there are barely enough young professionals to keep the infrastructure running. Western Europe then imports all talent from Eastern Europe, and Eastern Europe imports from Asia like US. Asians that are not good enough to go to US go to East Europe, and those not even good for that stay in Asia, which is the reason why country with 4 times the population and 10 more iq points on average still relies on stolen US tech to do anything.

there is always a direct line between the part of the egg you see in mirror and some point on the mirror's surface. if you consider the egg your eyeball, you will be able to see a small part of the mirror, even if at an extreme angle.

>> No.15494224

>>15494194
Nah. Western Europe and MAYBE some parts of the American upper East Coast, so basically New England, are the only parts of the world actually producing good scientists.

Scratch that, New England is super underrated in the quality/amount of scientists they produce, actually, and it's not just Jews even.

Anything visible in the mirror will have a straight line of sight reflected off the mirror's surface where the angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. This is elementary school level science, or at least it used to be.

Submitting neuron endings to total error such as area touching activates a natural defense mechanism responding to external stimuli. In short the mirror is "transducing" the sensation of paper and the paper transducing the sensation of egg.

The mirror feels the paper, and the paper feels the egg and emits the image of the egg on its surface through the law of transduction.

This picture sums everything well. Note that you can’t actually see the whole egg, even with a mirror the size of the earth. What you see is always the reflection of light that enters the mirror. Because the light from the egg travels to the mirror, we can see it. If there were no direct path from the egg to the mirror, then you couldn’t see it in the mirror

Every point of the mirror counts as an "eye". Once there just do the math, the mirror is only rotating the information of the image in the fourth dimension that is time.

It is just light bouncing off the object bouncing off of you? I wonder what would happen if you got that really black material that absorbs most light and covered yourself in it and did this? Would the object become less bright? Does an object look different with only 5% of the light it's supposed to get hitting it? Am I just dumb? Plz be gentle to me and my brain anonymous posters.

People are confused because there are screens everywhere now. Their first thought is that mirrors work like screens, but they don't.
