Some people wanted me to show you the view of the camera in the middle of the sphere when the spheres were closed. However, this view looks the same as when the camera barely enters the oncoming mirror. At the midpoint is right when the light/camera enters its own reflection. Right at the midpoint is when the camera takes up it's whole field of view. This looks the same whether the sphere is completely open or closed. So the way I did it in the video actually shows all the views you would see moving around inside the sphere.
It would be completely dark in "closed" circular mirror like this because there is no light source inside it. Remember reflection happens because light source hit the polished surface of shining or polished surface or mirror. Thank you.

D J you know how scary it is if someone make this spherical mirror 100x bigger that a person can fit in there... I think it’s way more than we got in this video
@@p3el_ what if he isn’t a native English speaker and just wanted to type in English so that more people would understand? Or I’m looking into it too deeply
This is one of my experiments I thought of when I was a young child 50+ years ago noticing the distortions when I went to a fun house. Anyhow, I soon got to see a two-way mirror and always wondered what it would be like with a two-way mirror sphere; one experiment with reflection on outside and viewing from inside or vice-versa. Wondered then if a two way sphere with the mirror on inside were exposed to sunlight or laser would it generate lots of heat and other fun things. Never got a chance to test ithem...should say play with them.
The issue with two way mirrors is that they arnt actually 2 way mirrors. They work by having one side brighter then the other which causes it to reflect simalarly to how if you look out a window at night with a light on in the room you will see the reflection of the room. This means you wouldn’t be able to do something with shining a laser into the sphere as the inside of the sphere would have to be brighter than the outside to shine
As a little kid I asked my teacher this very question... "if you shined a flashlight into a mirror ball and closed it up, went into a dark room and opened it... would light shine out." All I got was "no"... I wasn't satisfied by the answer and it has popped back into my mind repeatedly thru the years! KUDOS for answering it completely!!!!!
if you want that effect use glow in the dark paint (yellowgreen is the brightest), costs ~4$ on ebay from china www.ebay.com/itm/25ml-Acrylic-Graffiti-Luminous-Bright-Glow-in-the-Dark-Paint-Pigment-Decor-DIY/254713605828?var=554492744124&hash=item3b4e1d2ec4:g:N~sAAOSwMFVfWCIe also very cool are the glow in the dark tapes, the trick is to put them near a light source (0,5m=1,6feet)
This is not a complete answer. Mirrors can have different quality. What if better quality mirror can actually capture light? And how better it should be?
No mirror is 100% reflective. A little bit of light is absorbed with every bounce off a surface. Light travels so fast that the light disappearing seems instant
A bit disappointed, because it just reflect the camera itself. I wonder if there's any way to put the light inside, and then quicly close cover the light source with a mirror, and also being able to see from the outside what happens
We got a water bowl for the cats that was mirrored on the inside. Your demonstration starting around 3:15 reminded me of their experience, which I wish I had filmed! :) They both looked into the bowl and leaped backwards, then looked into it again and leaped back but slightly less, and finally got used to it. Actually we haven't had it out in a while, so I'll have a camera ready when we present it to them next! :)
Can’t we just make a spherical room with a completely reflective surface that we can stand in? Whoever goes in might come out completely insane but whatever happens, at least it’s another question answered
My guess for why we have never try to make a room like that is because the materials to make it is very hard to use, so to be able to "bend" (wrong word but idk the word to use) the mirror into a sphere is extremely tough and might be impractical. But this is just a guess with now basis so don't trust me
What would it look like to have a ball that is mirrored on the inside but transparent from the outside? In other words what would you see from the outside of a mirrored ball if the light initially passed through the ball just enough so that it could bounce around on the inside and then pass back out to be viewed?
I pondered this thought about 30 years ago and it's stuck with me ever since. Now I have to watch the simulation video! I think we need a single, tiny 360 camera with light built-in, but I honestly don't think we'll ever get a true practical example.
@@diollinebranderson6553 it's not quite the same. This is a light inside the mirror that's reflecting towards the outer edges, where as black holes are just taking light that's near it and warping it (refraction). Yes, it *kind of* looks like a black hole here, but it's not the same principle at all. Tl;dr Reflection ≠ refraction.
Thank you for your video. Have you ever considered putting a laser in a circularly mirrored room. In the ray optics simulation if the ray is slightly off the radial line the beam bounces filling the whole are with light except at the center that is dark I'll share a pic if your interested.
I would get a giant spherical mirror fill it with water get a 360 camera in there maybe a person and put it as a tourist attraction AND BOOOM BIG BRAIN AND THE MONEY COMIN IN.

At 4:39 you can see the camera's sensor will be pretty far from the sphere's center once you close the sphere, but i think it would be even cooler if the camera's sensor was near the center because when you close the sphere it wouldnt touch the other half and you would have a "wider" field of view.
Do this again, but use a less intense light (a diffuser even) and do it in a completely dark room. I think the effect will be more pronounced if the light is less blinding and there is no outside light interference.

The problem with this is that the reflection we get is always dependent on the point of view, maybe putting a 360° VR camera in the middle inside a one way mirrored sphere...
That wouldn't work. One-way mirrors are basically just tinted glass. The 'mirror' side needs to be very bright in comparison to the 'hidden' side, which is one limitation. The major issue is that it's transparent, so much if the light is lost upon each reflection, limiting the max number of reflections. Also, with no subject inside the sphere, there'd not be any interesting image to reflect.
@@iShowGaming02 dude thats such a boring reply to the reply to the reply of the original comment ...Why do you even want to embarrass yourself on a public forum like this? 🤦♂️
We could simulate this in VR, no? has someone not done that already? I guess recursive curved reflections can be a bit tricky to compute properly in real time though, but I bet it could still be done without too much difficulty with today's technology.
Same. But I believe the only way I can have it solved is if something invisible or astronomically small went inside and viewed it so it would be completely uninterrupted
@@HDTomo maybe make a gigantic spherical mirror that a camera looks astronomically small inside it. Definitely not impossible but quite hard or just really expensive to do
I once had a sonic toy frisbee that had an spherical mirror inside, making the figure pop up its reflection in a wierd illusion and reflection, making it half-ghostly outside the disk. It was really cool.
You didn't show the most interesting situation when the camera's nodal point is at the center of the sphere. Your camera was offset on its optical axis.
I'm pretty sure that "perfect mirror" is an abstract concept, just like a perfect black body. In reality every material that can interact with light will reflect and absorb some of it. Then again, superconductors exist, so maybe there could exist a material that reflects 100% light
Sheevlord here’s a link I found for MIT students making a perfect mirror. The definition of a perfect mirror is one that reflects light perfectly with no absorption. I used the same example of superconductors in my head when trying to debate whether it was possible or not lol. www.extremetech.com/computing/162322-mit-creates-the-first-perfect-mirror Edit: they might not be students. My bad
Suprith S Banakar 10th B well its not related but since superconductors can exist and have zero resistance, why can’t a mirror exist with zero absorption. Superconductors are more of a comparison
Daniel Quelapio well the mirror wouldn’t use any of the light energy, and the light energy wouldn’t be destroyed. So output energy (which I guess would be whenever the sphere opens) would be equal to input energy of photons
20+ years ago i went to a museum that had a hemispherical mirror. It was the most convincing 3D image id ever seen. I was fascinated and wondered if there was someway to make a 3D TV with same principals.
The school will not also teach this trash. I mean what is the need pf this unnecessary information. The school teach us necessary information not this type of useless information.
Definitely a simulated window into the higher dimension. Helps you to imagine a 4D pencil drawing a sphere. When we draw a circle with a compass we are actually drawing it from the inside. I love this amazing experiment. I would suggest suspending the camera with a filament in the exact center.
@@iBloodxHunter or maybe God (properties: Yin and Yan) enjoys turning inside out, splitting its awarenes (Yin), which swallows light that converges in a bright spot (Yan). That Spot of source energy (Yan) thats aware (Yin) can creates 'reality' by focussing light energy that is projected back, showing the conversion spot ('i am') an 'outside' reality that is percieved as completely 'seperate' from itself. Therefor experiencing shapes, dimensions, time and a lot of 'being tiny and powerless within a huge world, forgotten that its all happening within the split mind'. Or whatever, dude.
I would have liked to see the view of the camera entering the already closed sphere. I'm not sure how the camera focus works but it would be interesting to use something that can hunt through the focus and pick up more reflections.
Some people wanted me to show you the view of the camera in the middle of the sphere when the spheres were closed. However, this view looks the same as when the camera barely enters the oncoming mirror. At the midpoint is right when the light/camera enters its own reflection.

I remember some early 3D arcade games using this same principle .
The problem with this is that the reflection we get is always dependent on the point of view, maybe putting a 360° VR camera in the middle inside a one way mirrored sphere...
Nested spherical cameras, like a dream within a dream.
Do it. Break the simulation. Set us free.
@@WizzleTeats69 We'd be free, at last... 👀
@@WizzleTeats69 они не настолько тупы чтобы пускать меня
Yes! Can we have a redo later with this and in a human size sphere? 🙏🏽
6:28 that looks like black hole emerging from hemisphere.
69 likes should I break it
If You think about it, ir reflects the light the same way as a black hole
Get a one-sided mirror glass globe then can see inside without obstruction.
LIKE THIS IDEA
Holy crap yes
That wouldn't work. One-way mirrors are basically just tinted glass. The 'mirror' side needs to be very bright in comparison to the 'hidden' side, which is one limitation. The major issue is that it's transparent, so much if the light is lost upon each reflection, limiting the max number of reflections. Also, with no subject inside the sphere, there'd not be any interesting image to reflect.
@@erictheepic5019 So it’d just look dark?
@@vbgvbg1133 Not even that, it would just look like a clear ball with some tinting.
The CGI in this video is truly amazing

Does anyone else kinda want to go into one of these but feels like they would get insanely claustrophobic or simply go insane?
¿Por qué no los dos?
Unless you were blind. If you got overwhelmed you could close your eyes.
You would certainly feel your body heat being thrown back at you from all directions
Yes but i doubt id go insane

This is what you see when you pass the event horizon.

Ah. Yes. I'm watching this at 2am and can't wait to see my strange lucid dreams
We could simulate this in VR, no? has someone not done that already? I guess recursive curved reflections can be a bit tricky to compute properly in real time though, but I bet it could still be done without too much difficulty with today's technology.
Even with ray tracing becoming possible in real time on consumer hardware, there is a limit to the number of bounces that can be done. For now
It would take a pretty good computer, because I don't think you could do it without raytracing, and you would need to calculate many bounces.
Your computer would go into a wormhole
Do you want to explode?
Or alternatively we could just build a spherical mirror large enough for a person to walk into.
3:43 *proceeds to fill 100%*
Holy shit I’ve actually been wondering this for years. It’s my biggest theory question. This is awesome.
Same. But I believe the only way I can have it solved is if something invisible or astronomically small went inside and viewed it so it would be completely uninterrupted
@@HDTomo maybe make a gigantic spherical mirror that a camera looks astronomically small inside it. Definitely not impossible but quite hard or just really expensive to do
Man, Vsauce did it so much better several years ago.
Normal People watching the camera inside of the mirror: “Hmm, interesting.”
Me: *”MUUUUURPH!”*
Thinking of Anne Hathaway making “contact” lol the whole time
*DON'T LET ME LEEEAAVE MUUURPHHH!!!*
Omg that random Interstellar reference
I went to the comments section deliberately looking for an Interstellar reference!!

Love how utterly unlike my expectations this was. Completely bewildered at every turn
Now I have 360 view of your room using mirrorball technique
I need to make a human scale art installation of this before I die! It's so trippy.
So many sci fi movie effects were demystified by this video.

I once had a sonic toy frisbee that had an spherical mirror inside, making the figure pop up its reflection in a wierd illusion and reflection, making it half-ghostly outside the disk.
It was really cool.
I had this one too! I think it was a Macdonalds toy.
@@relomas Yes! I barely rembember because i was a kid, but yes, i think i got it from mcdonals too!
Yessss I remember this too! It was really convincing.
A human size spherical mirror would be awesome in a theme park mirror maze.
Is it possible to do the same experiment with a one-sided mirror that is see-thru on the one side?
@Pizza Rolls why?
Especially if you would take a fluorescing material as the inner sphere and darkening the outer room.
?
I’m not understanding your question. Mirrors are always reflective on one side from my understanding
@@Bansheekilr on one side mirror on the other see-thru...
That’s a really good idea
You didn't show the most interesting situation when the camera's nodal point is at the center of the sphere. Your camera was offset on its optical axis.
It looks like a smol Universe
*blackhole
Nezuko why did u change the eyes ....... Ur eyes were better before

For years I've pondered this question at least once a month.
Really? Well here’s your answer 😂

The mirror: "s-s-senpai"
stop it, get some help...
*"what are you doing step finger?"*

5:05
That do be lookin like something from interstellar tho
5:15 hahaha enter the multiverse. Theoretical Physicists get that an experimental physicist finds it on earth.
Imagine playing with a concave mirror and suddenly your mirage pulls you in and says, "welcome to the backrooms"
6:30 Definitely just opened a portal across time and space
Is there a perfect mirror that doesn’t absorb any light? I read an article on it a perfect mirror but I’m not sure of the legitimacy of it
I'm pretty sure that "perfect mirror" is an abstract concept, just like a perfect black body. In reality every material that can interact with light will reflect and absorb some of it.
Then again, superconductors exist, so maybe there could exist a material that reflects 100% light
No it defies conservation of energy
Sheevlord here’s a link I found for MIT students making a perfect mirror. The definition of a perfect mirror is one that reflects light perfectly with no absorption. I used the same example of superconductors in my head when trying to debate whether it was possible or not lol. www.extremetech.com/computing/162322-mit-creates-the-first-perfect-mirror
Edit: they might not be students. My bad
Suprith S Banakar 10th B well its not related but since superconductors can exist and have zero resistance, why can’t a mirror exist with zero absorption. Superconductors are more of a comparison
Daniel Quelapio well the mirror wouldn’t use any of the light energy, and the light energy wouldn’t be destroyed. So output energy (which I guess would be whenever the sphere opens) would be equal to input energy of photons

20+ years ago i went to a museum that had a hemispherical mirror. It was the most convincing 3D image id ever seen. I was fascinated and wondered if there was someway to make a 3D TV with same principals.
A human sized mirror experience like this would probably break your brain for a little bit
This channel is a revolution. WE GET TO LEARN THINGS WHICH OUR SCHOOLS NEVER TAUGHT. This is beautiful.
The school will not also teach this trash. I mean what is the need pf this unnecessary information. The school teach us necessary information not this type of useless information.
Definitely a simulated window into the higher dimension. Helps you to imagine a 4D pencil drawing a sphere. When we draw a circle with a compass we are actually drawing it from the inside. I love this amazing experiment. I would suggest suspending the camera with a filament in the exact center.
Saying this is a sphere in the 4 dimensions suddenly make a lot of sense
Watching this made me wonder is black holes actually run on a similar principal.
Obviously with some extra stuff we can't measure.
@@iBloodxHunter or maybe God (properties: Yin and Yan) enjoys turning inside out, splitting its awarenes (Yin), which swallows light that converges in a bright spot (Yan). That Spot of source energy (Yan) thats aware (Yin) can creates 'reality' by focussing light energy that is projected back, showing the conversion spot ('i am') an 'outside' reality that is percieved as completely 'seperate' from itself. Therefor experiencing shapes, dimensions, time and a lot of 'being tiny and powerless within a huge world, forgotten that its all happening within the split mind'. Or whatever, dude.
Your explanation makes 4d make more sense.
I would have liked to see the view of the camera entering the already closed sphere. I'm not sure how the camera focus works but it would be interesting to use something that can hunt through the focus and pick up more reflections.
6:26 My guy basically opened a portal to 100th dimension there 🤯
