What’s Actually on the Other Side of a Mirror?

Season 10 Episode 1 | 10m 16sVideo has Closed Captions

The real magic of mirrors is far stranger and more interesting, as you’re about to learn.

How many times do you look in a mirror every day? Have you ever stopped to wonder how they actually work? Mirrors do strange things to our world, seemingly flipping everything so that what was right is left and what was left is right. But what if I told you that mirrors don’t actually flip the world left to right?
