Ever since, I had always wondered what a true eternal mirrored room would be like, if there was a source of none reflecting light and somehow no reflect of your POV.

It's called a real image, formed by light rays reflected by the concave mirror from a point on the real object converging on another point in space. You can see them in a shiny bowl or spoon. There's an old knickknack they used to sell at Sharper Image-type places that looked sort of like a flying saucer with a hole on top--it was a pair of concave mirrors facing each other, and if you put a small object like a coin inside of it, a real image of it would appear in the hole, visible from most diagonal angles. It'd look pretty much exactly like the real object sitting on top of the saucer, in three-dimensional detail, but you tried to grab it you'd soon find it was not really there. If you looked directly down from overhead it would give the game away.

This was an incredible exploration! I never thought about what the inside of a mirror would look like. Your experimentation and explanations make complex concepts so easy to understand.

I think you should try to do this with the world’s most reflective material so light doesn’t get absorbed so quickly. Or make an infinite mirror with regular mirrors compared with the more reflective material and see if you can get more reflections before the light he gets absorbed

What he means by quickly is after how many reflections light gets fully absorbed. Not after how many seconds. If you can increase reflectivity by one order of magnitude (99.99% vs 99.9%) you get ten times the reflections.

2 ай бұрын

@MrThis1dude what I described is basically how all mirrors are made. most glass has a naturally smooth surface (from being molten), and since its amorphous, it does not form crystals and therefore keeps that smooth texture after cooling. while it's still semi-hot (at melting point of aluminum), you can put a thin layer of aluminum metal on it, which will wet the glass and form a mirror. I've seen people also do this with gallium, but aluminum has a higher reflectivity of visible light than most other metals with the exception of silver. aluminum on its own will become rough upon cooling due to crystallization and shrinkage, so the usage of smooth glass is a key factor here. I should mention that the mirrored surface is the surface on the inside (between the aluminum and glass), not the outside surface that is exposed to the air. Aluminum reflects about 90% of visible light compared to 95% for silver and less than 90% for basically all other metals.

A mirror ball reflects all of its surroundings. Only reflections of things hidden behind the ball are not seen when we look at the ball. M C Escher made an amazing drawing based on this effect.

This is cool; I was playing with the Idea of infinity, and how it reminded me of a room of mirrors meant to confuse. If I'm not mistaken, the first part of your experiment, is part of an optical illusion thingy that people can buy, with an alien or a frog in the middle. The second part comes a little closer to what's in my head.

We did half of this in high school physics lab, we put a small lit light bulb at various points on the spherical mirror axis and sure enough at some point you get a magnified real image of the bulb floating in air. It's the floating coin illusion. Some magnifying make up mirrors are actually a partial sphere and are fun to play with.

Hi, I have a very big curiosity What if the sphere has a mirror surface on the inside but on the outside you can see inside, and you point a laser through the sphere What is gonna happen inside if the mirror surface reflects the laser beam towards the other side of the sphere and that is a mirror as well?

Two hours later: didnt you forget to bring them back to size? oh shi...

I love the homage to Fantastic Voyage's CMDF logo on the ceiling especially considering the shrinking down of a 'human'.

Once inside turn on a flashlight and experience true panic as you see the infinite worlds of the multiverse.

Exactly what I was thinking. But unfortunately this is just a flat 360 video and no 180 stereoscopic front view.

Just as creepy is to go inside a sphere radome, a sphere for a microwave antenna. The acoustic lens inside is a real trip. A quiet whisper by yourself is returned with changing phase shift from all directions and you move slightly in the canter. A 16 to 30 foot diameter sphere is amazing. Ask anyone that has been in the military and had the opportunity to service any of the antennas in radomes.

One of the things that has always fascinated me is how the eye focuses diffuse reflection images. Looking at simplified diagrams it kind of makes sense but breaks down if you consider each point/area on your retina is getting the same point/area light from a diffuse area out there in the real world that is reflecting out at many angles. The curvature of our eye lenses perfectly maps incoming light from one point in space, regardless of reflection angle, back to a single point on our retina. It's not pinhole, it's simply the maths of lenses. As a side reference, virtually all 3d games project light onto a flat (projection) plane, aka your monitor or camera sensor, they also cheat by assuming distance to that point in space is just the forward axis, not the radial 3d distance, which is completely different to the spherical projection in your eye; in the real world we are at the centre of all incoming light which is a sphere around us and arrives at discrete points on our retina! The practical upshot of this is that according to game maths a train passing by in the distance on a straight track without moving the camera is exactly the same size at the left, middle and right of the image. Whereas in reality if you don't move the camera it will appear smaller and larger as it bisects the cone of your spherical vision. Our brains correct for this, plus we turn our heads and have a small area of acuity, however if you lie upside in a large open area like a park and tilt your head back, the horizon will appear curved - which it is. (But not due to the curvature of the earth).

3:40 The inside of the mirror looking flat like you're landing on a surface reminds me of a ScienceClic video where when you enter a black hole it would look like you're just slamming into a black floor.

If possible can you try an experiment that I came up with. The things you need are an empty room, a light source and you inside the room. What I have in mind is that , when the light source is turned on you are able to see the walls of the room because they reflect light from the light source. But what if we make the surface of the walls so imperfect that in whatever direction light may hit the wall it does not get reflected to atleast a single point in the room. Which means if you observe the room from that point, even if there is a light source in that room, you would not be able to see anything like the wall and the ceiling in the room.

Here is an idea for a science museum. Make an enclosed sphere. With just one round opening at the bottom. Have some sit on a chair and let the sphere come down on them. Person sitting down get a choice of a head lamp or a hand held flashlight. The only opening would be at the person feet. That would be a good experience.

The issue with being in the concave portion of the sphere, is that it will act as a magnifier; the 360* image is established using the external, or convex surface. What is being seen inside the sphere is this. As you bring the object closer to the middle, you find yourself at the focal point of that sphere. As in a camera, this nodal point is where all the rays meet. Going past this point, the image is now reversed (as in a camera). That nodal point becomes 'confusing' because of the 'infinite' magnification, until the image rays extend in the opposite direction from this point. Yes, approaching this point (from either side of the focal point), the magnification becomes very strong. Using your larger, and longer focal length, parabolic mirror, you'll encounter the same effect as you approach the focal length of the mirror. In fact, as you approach this point, you will be able to measure the focal length of the mirror (or lens) from that point to the mirror or lens. Regarding lighting the inside, it really doesn't work as one might think. Again, the rays of the light are also coming to focus a the focal point. You'd need a diffuse source to illuminate the entire inside, much the same as a light integrating sphere. In doing so, you'd loose the effect you wanted to show.
