OP has misconceptions and misunderstandings about how light and mirrors behave, and is from suffering cognitive dissonance of the 1st hand experiences not matching up to previous beliefs.

But seriously tho, I don't understand what OP is confused about. How else did they expect it to behave? What else were they expecting to happen? What is their misunderstanding? Can they even articulate those thoughts? Do they even have those thoughts themselves, or are they simply mimicking/mirroring the TicToc video person like a 2 year old child does? How do you explain an answer to someone if they can't even formulate the question?

They can't, because most /soi/ posters are nonsentient autists with no self-reflection and no theory of mind. They can't imagine what it would be like to not have the necessary knowledge about light and optics and also mistakenly believe they figured it out for themselves. Ironically, the zoomer from the clip is more intelligent and scientific than the posters calling him retarded.

How does light bounce off an object in every direction at once, such that it can be seen from any viewpoint?

Why is it so bouncy?

Anonymous at Sat, 15 Feb 2025 12:54:32 UTC No. 16586582

>>16586566
bouncy light theory postulates that the bouciness quotient comes from spacial elasticity of the surrounding substrate rather than any rubberistical quality of the light itself. "Bouncy Matter" is thought to constitute over 99.999% the mass of the entire observable universe though its exact nature is unknown due to it's propensity for rejecting all known methods of measurement.

It's because how reflections work is not necessarily immediately intuitive, so you need to think about it for few moments. Those moments are just long enough for people to go "wait a minute", and you can make that situation funny by pretending to be genuinely confused. If you seek attention, you can make it into a video, and that's what causes people to be like this.

The far more interesting question is what causes some people to think they're superior to the jokers in these videos just because they understand the most elementary concepts of optics.

To the contrary: how they work is very intuitive, but that intuition is misleading. You won't figure out how they actually work by "thinking about it for a few moments". If you're genuinely ignorant about anything optics-related, figuring it out is a huge conceptual leap. You're extremely delusional for thinking you figured optics by "thinking about it for a few moments".

I'd even go further and say this zoomie conducted a proper experiment and ended up asking just the right question. Imagine you were a caveman with no concept of light rays, the law of reflection or anything like that. All you know about reflective surfaces is that if you put something in front of one, it somehow "shows" you a flipped version of that thing as if it were the same distance but behind it. Based on this caveman logic, it's natural to assume that the mirror needs to "see" something in order to "know" it's there and do its trick. The idea of testing this assumption by "blocking the view" and seeing if the mirror still reflects it is a legitimate scientific experiment that gives you a huge clue that something else is going on.

A lack of theory of mind is what causes the video in the OP. If they had one, they could put themselves in the shoes of the man in the mirror and realize that he can see the object just fine.

The mirror knows where the egg is at all times. It knows this because it knows where the egg isn't.
By subtracting where the egg is from where the egg isn't, or where the egg isn't from where the egg is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.
The projection subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective ray castings to show the egg from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and showing a position it wasn't, it now is.

It's because they are so used to tiny pocket rectangle having to use sensors and a central processor to collect data on and show the world around it, which let's face it, they treat like inexplicable magic anyways that they have zero clue that an object can have light bounce off of a mirror and into their eyes to show an image to them that is not immediately visible to the mirror, which they view as like the process of a phone's camera that takes in an image it is exposed to and screen, which displays the image the camera was exposed to.
In other words, they think mirrors are supposed to work like phones, because they have only a surface level intuition of one (the phone) and zero understanding of the other (a reflection).
So, of course in their minds, put an obstacle between a mirror and an object and you shouldn't be able to see the obscured object in the mirror because the mirror shouldn't be able to see the obscured object.
And if you think that sounds like absolute dumbest thing you've ever heard, welcome to american education.

Some people do not express any curiosity, are highly ignorant, allergic to learning and challenge and very much preoccupied with their most basal needs or instincts.
Those are the people who do not learn these fundamental principles of how our world works, even though they were most likely taught about it early in school.
Curiosity is a large part of what defines humanity. It is a requirement for intelligence. And it is for this reason that posters make fun of people who seem ignorant to basic fundamental principles of the world.
In fact, if you lack this grounding knowledge, this foundation of what can be, then the only way to find truth is through consensus, blind trust in other people like yourself.
This emotional illation of personal truth is the cause of much evil in the world today, for it yields the minds of the weak to the truly evil, who outnumber the good because of this.
