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.
I did this allllll the time as a kid with the tri folding bathroom vanity mirror. Angle both side mirrors and look to the side and see (what seemed like) hundreds of reflections
Woah! That effect with the pen self-intersection was amazing! I'd love to see more videos about 3D reflections like that, I had no idea that was possible
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.
@@MattMcIrvin omg yeah my friend has one of those, I'm amazed I didn't even think about it during this video until you brought it up. I wonder what the definition of "real" is in this instance "real image" I'm gonna have to look that up 🤔
@@MattMcIrvin thats the first thing I thought of, those toys were really cool. It literally looks like the object is sitting on top of the ufo-shaped thing until you try to grab it and your hand goes right through it :D

Looks like this is something that needs to be done as an interactive art project. Someone has to build a huge mirror sphere that can close around you for a bit
As one comedian once said, about the universe being a simulation: the light stablishes the limit of the rendering of the universe. Nothing can be rendered further, and where it's not casted, nothing is rendered at all. I found it to be just genius.

@Someoneishere114 you already are there. You surrendering to that is heavenly. You are fighting, arguing that its not is grief. The cycle of grieving.

You don't recognize yourself and by definition are unconscious. You are aware of even that. 😅 That is how powerful consciousness is. Which is what you are. Nice to meet you
Yes, for real. If you put an atom real close to the center, you should be able to see it :) Action Lab bro should give that a try maybe with his mirror.
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
Light bounces of millions of times within a matter of second. Do you still think that it will last for even 1 milli second even if the mirror is reflecting 99.99% of light😊
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.
It’ll probably just be a solid colour since the laser beam will eventually hit the camera lense making anything else hard to see since it’s over exposed.
Starting at 7:13 he puts a laser pointer in the one hemisphere mirror, but for some reason he had it turned OFF. Maybe he tried it off camera and didn't want to record it.
@@Geoffr524 I'm not sure about the power of the laser pointer he had but if it was somewhat powerful maybe he was concerned with damaging the camera if it took a direct hit? Idk though since I'm a bit out of touch with tech like cameras and such...
you can probably buy one, or like me, try to make it myself xD smear some molten aluminum on a glass bowl/hemisphere while hot, and let it slowly cool.
@@Metal_Master_YT bro loved the idea, even though aluminum is easy enough to work with its not near shiny enough!, finding the right bowl and casting in sand was easy but this chunk of shit needs polished hard..
@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.
@@StuffIwannaRemember a plastic bowl? idk how you would ever get that to work. I guess I should test my method on some glass and see what happens. technically my method varies from the usual in that I am making the thin layer of aluminum by melting instead of by vacuum vapor deposition or chemical deposition.
Could you do the same experiment but with one-way glass instead? So light could enter the sphere from outside but it would be reflected on the inside...
3:40 The inside of the mirror looking flat like you're landing on a surface reminds me of a ScienceClic video where when you enter a black hole it would look like you're just slamming into a black floor.
Hi, I have a very big curiosity What if the sphere has a mirror surface on the inside but on the outside you can see inside, and you point a laser through the sphere What is gonna happen inside if the mirror surface reflects the laser beam towards the other side of the sphere and that is a mirror as well?
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.
i had the idea of shooting a light in a sphere with the inside being a mirror, so theoretically when you threw it against the ground in a dark area, it would explode in light for a millisecond
@@SavvySequoia Whatever the infrared sensor portion of the sensor looks like to the infrared sensor. It doesn't really change too much. It's all dark because the most direct route from the camera's photoreceptors is always taken by the light going back and forth between any point in the mirrored hull and to the photoreceptor in the dead center of the sphere, no matter which direction the photoreceptor "looks". An IR camera will, likewise, look at the IR sensor in the spherical hull when at the center.
This was an incredible exploration! I never thought about what the inside of a mirror would look like. Your experimentation and explanations make complex concepts so easy to understand.
This is really cool, but I don't understand why you'd use a wired light. As well as letting light in through the gap (which you addressed) it's also going to change the angles of reflection due to not being spherical. There are so many cheap battery lights that could have been used to get a proper seal!

We did half of this in high school physics lab, we put a small lit light bulb at various points on the spherical mirror axis and sure enough at some point you get a magnified real image of the bulb floating in air. It's the floating coin illusion. Some magnifying make up mirrors are actually a partial sphere and are fun to play with.
Thank you, I also was wondering it some days ago and thought I would see some really interesting stuff. But it wasn't that different of a thing except when it looks like you pass through the image of yourself to enter a black space behind the image.
It should be done within a room where the whole wall/ceiling/base is spherical mirror. The room design should be like the quietest room in the world where the subject were 'floating' in the middle .
A mirror ball reflects all of its surroundings. Only reflections of things hidden behind the ball are not seen when we look at the ball. M C Escher made an amazing drawing based on this effect.
Just as creepy is to go inside a sphere radome, a sphere for a microwave antenna. The acoustic lens inside is a real trip. A quiet whisper by yourself is returned with changing phase shift from all directions and you move slightly in the canter. A 16 to 30 foot diameter sphere is amazing. Ask anyone that has been in the military and had the opportunity to service any of the antennas in radomes.
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.
i think it would be really different in a more realistic set upp, with a stereoscopic view, like our eyes. Maybe for a next video you could level up and put some 3D caméra with two lenses inside a (bigger) spherical mirror
@@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)
If possible can you try an experiment that I came up with. The things you need are an empty room, a light source and you inside the room. What I have in mind is that , when the light source is turned on you are able to see the walls of the room because they reflect light from the light source. But what if we make the surface of the walls so imperfect that in whatever direction light may hit the wall it does not get reflected to atleast a single point in the room. Which means if you observe the room from that point, even if there is a light source in that room, you would not be able to see anything like the wall and the ceiling in the room.
Here is an idea for a science museum. Make an enclosed sphere. With just one round opening at the bottom. Have some sit on a chair and let the sphere come down on them. Person sitting down get a choice of a head lamp or a hand held flashlight. The only opening would be at the person feet. That would be a good experience.
@02:24 *It's like putting a 360-degree camera inside a large spherical soap bubble. And i like bubbles more, because they are perfectly spherical when they float & glide in the air* .
Okay, first of all, the physics of what's going on here is awesome, and thanks for sticking a 360° camera inside a sphere, but the music definitely made me want to play Morrowind.
I've always wondered what a lightbulb inside of a spherical "one-way" mirror with the reflective surface on the inside would look like. Might be a fun video, or not. :D
Okay, now put a little camera inside a disco ball looking out from one side, then put that inside of the spherical mirror. That would give a weird mix of an image bouncing between the flat mirror tiles of the disco ball and the inside curve of the spherical mirror. Also, put a green laser in there too.
1:00 "This video is a follow-up to a video where I stuck a laparoscopic camera inside a spherical mirror." Well, where's the link to *_that_* video?! It should be in the description! If this video is a follow-up to a previous video, we should be able to see the previous video first.
The issue with being in the concave portion of the sphere, is that it will act as a magnifier; the 360* image is established using the external, or convex surface. What is being seen inside the sphere is this. As you bring the object closer to the middle, you find yourself at the focal point of that sphere. As in a camera, this nodal point is where all the rays meet. Going past this point, the image is now reversed (as in a camera). That nodal point becomes 'confusing' because of the 'infinite' magnification, until the image rays extend in the opposite direction from this point. Yes, approaching this point (from either side of the focal point), the magnification becomes very strong. Using your larger, and longer focal length, parabolic mirror, you'll encounter the same effect as you approach the focal length of the mirror. In fact, as you approach this point, you will be able to measure the focal length of the mirror (or lens) from that point to the mirror or lens. Regarding lighting the inside, it really doesn't work as one might think. Again, the rays of the light are also coming to focus a the focal point. You'd need a diffuse source to illuminate the entire inside, much the same as a light integrating sphere. In doing so, you'd loose the effect you wanted to show.
Here is the interactive video. ua-cam.com/video/wec6ibRtkU0/v-deo.htmlsi=CllOcP2EUsIkgJFK
You need a larger sphere.
Keep it up 👍

@@mikescherrer4923you get one half in the mirror surface and the other half in the rest of the frame.
@@mikescherrer4923the other side gets reflected by the spherical mirror. I think that’s what the OP meant.
A mirror ball reflects all of its surroundings. Only reflections of things hidden behind the ball are not seen when we look at the ball. M C Escher made an amazing drawing based on this effect.
I love the homage to Fantastic Voyage's CMDF logo on the ceiling especially considering the shrinking down of a 'human'.
Ah, so the universe is a giant polished spherical container.
who knows, it might be...
That was the most interesting nothing I’ve ever seen! like a catchy tune gets stuck in your head, I’ll be thinking about this all day. 👍
What about a laser now?
Just as creepy is to go inside a sphere radome, a sphere for a microwave antenna. The acoustic lens inside is a real trip. A quiet whisper by yourself is returned with changing phase shift from all directions and you move slightly in the canter. A 16 to 30 foot diameter sphere is amazing. Ask anyone that has been in the military and had the opportunity to service any of the antennas in radomes.

Exactly what I was thinking. But unfortunately this is just a flat 360 video and no 180 stereoscopic front view.
You should fill it with dry ice and shine a lazer into it so you can see what light paths the lazer makes
So.. our universe exists inside a spherical mirror😱😱😱
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.
The most impressive thing was him going to Chicago and not getting shot.
Hahahaha 😂
He actually did get lucky. At the very least, he could have been robbed.
i think it would be really different in a more realistic set upp, with a stereoscopic view, like our eyes. Maybe for a next video you could level up and put some 3D caméra with two lenses inside a (bigger) spherical mirror
But then… where do you center the camera, on one lens, or the midpoint between the 2 lenses?
@@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)

Reflective recursion and a visit to a black hole all in one !
5:19 pov your a pot of rice:
You just made my day, it was one of the most interesting videos in years!!!
basically a giant spoon
I was expecting you to light up the laser pointer at the end. Great video.
If possible can you try an experiment that I came up with. The things you need are an empty room, a light source and you inside the room. What I have in mind is that , when the light source is turned on you are able to see the walls of the room because they reflect light from the light source. But what if we make the surface of the walls so imperfect that in whatever direction light may hit the wall it does not get reflected to atleast a single point in the room. Which means if you observe the room from that point, even if there is a light source in that room, you would not be able to see anything like the wall and the ceiling in the room.
Which ray tracing software is it at 4:06 ?

@@TheActionLab 🙏🏻
A computer simulation of these experiments using a ray-tracing software such as POV-ray would be interesting...
Here is an idea for a science museum. Make an enclosed sphere. With just one round opening at the bottom. Have some sit on a chair and let the sphere come down on them. Person sitting down get a choice of a head lamp or a hand held flashlight. The only opening would be at the person feet. That would be a good experience.
i have seen god and i wish to go back
That is really crazy and my brain is struggeling to understand it, but it's so cool
@02:24 *It's like putting a 360-degree camera inside a large spherical soap bubble. And i like bubbles more, because they are perfectly spherical when they float & glide in the air* .
Okay, first of all, the physics of what's going on here is awesome, and thanks for sticking a 360° camera inside a sphere, but the music definitely made me want to play Morrowind.
Думается мне в черной дыре происходит схожее, ведь лучи все время отражаются только во внутрь
I've always wondered what a lightbulb inside of a spherical "one-way" mirror with the reflective surface on the inside would look like. Might be a fun video, or not. :D
You actually made it out of Chicago in one piece.
You should paint the front and back differently next. I wonder if we would be able to see our own back inside the mirror.
3:06 proof that God IS black
Okay, now put a little camera inside a disco ball looking out from one side, then put that inside of the spherical mirror. That would give a weird mix of an image bouncing between the flat mirror tiles of the disco ball and the inside curve of the spherical mirror. Also, put a green laser in there too.
the greatest thing about the bean is that anish kapoor hates that it is called the bean so we should all call it the bean.
Not only did you shrink me you changed my race 😮
1:00 "This video is a follow-up to a video where I stuck a laparoscopic camera inside a spherical mirror."
Well, where's the link to *_that_* video?! It should be in the description! If this video is a follow-up to a previous video, we should be able to see the previous video first.
Its like you don't need to watch the previous episode.
What about a dome mirror over a mirror floor? That might actually be interesting because the floor will be flat but will reflect a curved surface
why you clicked 2:20
The issue with being in the concave portion of the sphere, is that it will act as a magnifier; the 360* image is established using the external, or convex surface. What is being seen inside the sphere is this. As you bring the object closer to the middle, you find yourself at the focal point of that sphere. As in a camera, this nodal point is where all the rays meet. Going past this point, the image is now reversed (as in a camera). That nodal point becomes 'confusing' because of the 'infinite' magnification, until the image rays extend in the opposite direction from this point. Yes, approaching this point (from either side of the focal point), the magnification becomes very strong. Using your larger, and longer focal length, parabolic mirror, you'll encounter the same effect as you approach the focal length of the mirror. In fact, as you approach this point, you will be able to measure the focal length of the mirror (or lens) from that point to the mirror or lens.
Regarding lighting the inside, it really doesn't work as one might think. Again, the rays of the light are also coming to focus a the focal point. You'd need a diffuse source to illuminate the entire inside, much the same as a light integrating sphere. In doing so, you'd loose the effect you wanted to show.
video stops wasting your time at 2:20
This was probably the most bizarre pov I've ever watched. And I've watched a lot of pov videos on a lot of websites
