I show you a True mirror

this is the reason (coupled with the fact most of us aren't symmetrical) why so many of us don't like how we look in pictures

The action lab: answering the burning questions I never knew that I had!

Seeing myself unmirrored always reduces my self-confidence by a lot. Everybody says I look okay and I'm not the most attractive guy in the world but it just looks really off when I see myself unmirrored. Mostly because I have asymmetrical eyes that it almost looks derpy if the one eye that's bigger is in the wrong side of my face. Maybe if I have a true mirror and get used to how I look that way I can finally get some self confidence back.

It would be amazing to be able to come out of our bodies even just to hear or see ourselves, just for a minute or two to explore.

[douglasharley]

very cool! never heard of such a thing...they should have those at stores for when you're buying clothes.

[MikeLaRock]

I feel like a 3d view of yourself is even more accurate. Have you ever looked at your side profile with another mirror and think wtf, that's how I look from the side???

[AAuthority]

Actually, I used to have a similar experience every morning. I'd get up, go to the bathroom and it seems like I smell bad, but I know it's because the mirror is reflecting my scent upside down. This came as a great relief, knowing I never have to wash before going out of the house... or ever again, really.

I feel like this would've been far easier to showcase and for viewers to comprehend if it was shot horizontally and with a wider framing to show the entire rig setup, with the view that we see in the current video inlaid on top of the camera filming the set.

in my house the bathroom wall is a big giant mirror, and when the mirrors meet in the corners, it creates this thing you're calling "True mirror". my entire life i'd get my hair one way, then i'd look at myself in the inverted mirror to see what it truly looks like and be like "dude i can't wear my hair like this, its uneven"

[adamplace]

I like that he debunked the idea I had, which was that I looked to other people like a necrotic goblin.

The more you know..

I am very thankful for your videos. I’m a lover of all science and you’ve taught me more than any classroom ever has !!

I remember playing around with the "true mirror" in the clothing shops back in the 80's.
You could angel them to the point you could make copies of yourself into eternity.
Always lots of fun as kids playing around with those moving mirrors that allowed you to view your true self, plus more options with playing with infinity!

[anphoneron]

So *this* is why I sound so weird in like voicemail playback or I hear myself on speaker and stuff. It was fake mirrors the whole time!

"Rocket is so fascinating huh, how did they make it work in the first place?"
"Well, it's no mirror science"

Step 3 is summoning your clone from a parallel dimension

That mustache/haircut combination makes you look like one of the Super Troopers

[aaqka]

then the reflection moves on its own, and you realize that that is not a real mirror.

[davidluchsinger]

I’ll just be telling myself that I look more attractive in a true mirror.

[TheAdvertisement]

Ok wow, a mirror with this sort of internal reflection opens up some cool possibilities.

[yoshiSBX]

I used to use true/double/triple mirrors to help me cut my own hair, back when i was a barber. Really helps.

Gives you more of a 3D perspective.
