    You should do a black spherical mirror! I saw one at a science museum, and it blew my mind. It's just a regular polished black plastic concave dome and it produces the craziest 3D reflections I've ever seen. I would love to see a video explaining how and why they work.

    When I was a child, I visited a bathroom that had two opposing mirrors on opposite walls and it was the first experience I can recall of ever experiencing eternity.
    But the first thing that I noticed was that , as the reflections continued into the distance, it became darker and darker with each reflection.
    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.

    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

    • @pujarani3491

    • @volpedo2000
      @volpedo2000 3 месяца назад

      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.

    • @Metal_Master_YT
      @Metal_Master_YT 2 месяца назад

      @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 Super cool experiment my mother did once for an art class was to take four full length body mirrors, the kind you hang on a door, and tape them together facing inwards. Then cap the ends of the box with mirrors as well. You can cut down another mirror to do this. Have one end be hinged so it can open and close easily. Then crawl inside the mirrors. Once inside turn on a flashlight and experience true panic as you see the infinite worlds of the multiverse.

    Thanks! But I think it It would be great to watch if you also have made the back picture on one side of the camera - that way we could check if you’re able to see yourself in the sphere from all sides - and which reflection is showing which side.

    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.

      @@DHyre well if it's a 3d camera there will be no center like your eyes you are not a cyclope and the image you see is a collection of two slightly different points of view, so the video would have to be seen in stereoscopic 3D (with red and blue intertwined and 3D glasses, or two separates video from the the two lenses and you do cross eyes view)

    I'm a VR fanboy. Thank you for doing something cool and science'y that I can enjoy in my VR headset. Please do more!
    There is good science in VR and/or 3D stereoscopy and good ways to see science with VR and/or 3D stereoscopy.
    Why does anaglyph work and how to easily make anaglyph pictures and glasses at home for example.
    And while I have paid for your attention:
    You're awesome! I love the calm and undaunting educational approach you take. You keep it looking and feeling like things someone really can do in their parents garage or middle school lab. Nothing is overly polished to the point of feeling like you're spying into a lab clean room.
    Might seem strange but I love the imperfectness of this audio in your space and in that video. You could hear the echo of the room. The tiles cut down on some of it I'm sure but you left some of it. It's authentic.
    I wish you greater audience success and financial ability but I hope you never graduate out of being someone who makes great science content with normal-person-affordable materials, techniques, and environments.

    Some magnifying make up mirrors are actually a partial sphere and are fun to play with.
