you have a left eye and a right eye, not a top eye and bottom eye.

Wrong, tilt your head 90 degrees ...

this explains why mirrors stop working if you close one eye

vectors

Well fuck OP u got me there.
It might be because your not a nigger

If you look at the picture, think the original taytay inb the background as a projector, and the mirror as just a regular wall. Now, imagine that the image of taytay projects itself ONTO the wall and sticks. Thats what we see. It wouldn't make sense to go up/down because its just a sticker of a projection.

>not having opened your third and fourth eyes

Children, please. How can mirrors be real if our eyes are not real?

How can mirros be real if our eyes arent real?

its not reversed. you're just looking at it from the wrong side.

Simple physics 2 OP

Basically there are different rules to follow based on if the mirror is concave/convex/flat (one of those actually does invert the image, but a flat mirror won't)

My eyes are weird, this is a troll right? Do people experiance this?

Most everything is mostly nothing.

The same reason that water does.

huh, i never would have thought this would actually be an interesting disscussion

If you look at someone across from you thats looking at you their left is opposite yours
Same goes for your reflection that is facing you
/thread
>inb4 cant /thread your own post

Also face away from a mirror and the left and right are the same as yours

Kek. Underrated m8

...

Because it's a reflection. If it mirrored up/down, it wouldn't be a reflection

...

Because left and right are relative to the observer. Top/bottom isn't.

...

think of the light reflecting off your body as a ball and the mirror as a flat wall
>throw ball with right hand straight at wall
>ball hits wall
>ball bounces back to right hand
if the wall were curved, then the ball would bounce in a different direction depending on how the wall was curved

the reason cameras flip the image is because the light passes through a lens (a curved wall) causing the image to flip both left to right and top to bottom
when you turn the developed picture so that the image is right side up, the left side of object photographed is on the right side of the picture

Gravity keeps light steady in the vertical plane.

I want some fucker to explain to me how i can be facing a river, other side of the river say 5 miles away is a set of mountains.
Why is it i can see a reflected image of the mountains in the river?

y-you ever play with magnets?

Because you're special.
