Some people wanted me to show you the view of the camera in the middle of the sphere when the spheres were closed. However, this view looks the same as when the camera barely enters the oncoming mirror. At the midpoint is right when the light/camera enters its own reflection. Right at the midpoint is when the camera takes up it's whole field of view. This looks the same whether the sphere is completely open or closed. So the way I did it in the video actually shows all the views you would see moving around inside the sphere.
D J you know how scary it is if someone make this spherical mirror 100x bigger that a person can fit in there... I think it’s way more than we got in this video
It would be completely dark in "closed" circular mirror like this because there is no light source inside it. Remember reflection happens because light source hit the polished surface of shining or polished surface or mirror. Thank you.

As a little kid I asked my teacher this very question... "if you shined a flashlight into a mirror ball and closed it up, went into a dark room and opened it... would light shine out." All I got was "no"... I wasn't satisfied by the answer and it has popped back into my mind repeatedly thru the years! KUDOS for answering it completely!!!!!
if you want that effect use glow in the dark paint (yellowgreen is the brightest), costs ~4$ on ebay from china www.ebay.com/itm/25ml-Acrylic-Graffiti-Luminous-Bright-Glow-in-the-Dark-Paint-Pigment-Decor-DIY/254713605828?var=554492744124&hash=item3b4e1d2ec4:g:N~sAAOSwMFVfWCIe also very cool are the glow in the dark tapes, the trick is to put them near a light source (0,5m=1,6feet)
This is not a complete answer. Mirrors can have different quality. What if better quality mirror can actually capture light? And how better it should be?
No mirror is 100% reflective. A little bit of light is absorbed with every bounce off a surface. Light travels so fast that the light disappearing seems instant
Can’t we just make a spherical room with a completely reflective surface that we can stand in? Whoever goes in might come out completely insane but whatever happens, at least it’s another question answered
My guess for why we have never try to make a room like that is because the materials to make it is very hard to use, so to be able to "bend" (wrong word but idk the word to use) the mirror into a sphere is extremely tough and might be impractical. But this is just a guess with now basis so don't trust me
This is one of my experiments I thought of when I was a young child 50+ years ago noticing the distortions when I went to a fun house. Anyhow, I soon got to see a two-way mirror and always wondered what it would be like with a two-way mirror sphere; one experiment with reflection on outside and viewing from inside or vice-versa. Wondered then if a two way sphere with the mirror on inside were exposed to sunlight or laser would it generate lots of heat and other fun things. Never got a chance to test ithem...should say play with them.
The issue with two way mirrors is that they arnt actually 2 way mirrors. They work by having one side brighter then the other which causes it to reflect simalarly to how if you look out a window at night with a light on in the room you will see the reflection of the room. This means you wouldn’t be able to do something with shining a laser into the sphere as the inside of the sphere would have to be brighter than the outside to shine
@@p3el_ what if he isn’t a native English speaker and just wanted to type in English so that more people would understand? Or I’m looking into it too deeply
A bit disappointed, because it just reflect the camera itself. I wonder if there's any way to put the light inside, and then quicly close cover the light source with a mirror, and also being able to see from the outside what happens
We got a water bowl for the cats that was mirrored on the inside. Your demonstration starting around 3:15 reminded me of their experience, which I wish I had filmed! :) They both looked into the bowl and leaped backwards, then looked into it again and leaped back but slightly less, and finally got used to it. Actually we haven't had it out in a while, so I'll have a camera ready when we present it to them next! :)
Thank you for your video. Have you ever considered putting a laser in a circularly mirrored room. In the ray optics simulation if the ray is slightly off the radial line the beam bounces filling the whole are with light except at the center that is dark I'll share a pic if your interested.
@@diollinebranderson6553 it's not quite the same. This is a light inside the mirror that's reflecting towards the outer edges, where as black holes are just taking light that's near it and warping it (refraction). Yes, it *kind of* looks like a black hole here, but it's not the same principle at all. Tl;dr Reflection ≠ refraction.
What would it look like to have a ball that is mirrored on the inside but transparent from the outside? In other words what would you see from the outside of a mirrored ball if the light initially passed through the ball just enough so that it could bounce around on the inside and then pass back out to be viewed?
I would get a giant spherical mirror fill it with water get a 360 camera in there maybe a person and put it as a tourist attraction AND BOOOM BIG BRAIN AND THE MONEY COMIN IN.
I pondered this thought about 30 years ago and it's stuck with me ever since. Now I have to watch the simulation video! I think we need a single, tiny 360 camera with light built-in, but I honestly don't think we'll ever get a true practical example.

Tried with a Suzanne head in Blender, I think the facing-side-mirror reflects an upside down version of the front face, and the back-side-mirror reflected an upside down version of the back of the head. Normally the head in the middle would block the reflections between the two mirrors, but if we just disable that in Blender, the back-side-upisde-down reflection gets flipped back to normal in the front-side-mirror, and vise-versa, ending with bunch of reflections stacking on top of each other, some normal sides, some upside down. So abstract.
At 4:39 you can see the camera's sensor will be pretty far from the sphere's center once you close the sphere, but i think it would be even cooler if the camera's sensor was near the center because when you close the sphere it wouldnt touch the other half and you would have a "wider" field of view.
James: "You can't quite capture this on camera..." Meanwhile my gut: HE'S TOUCHING IT, HE'S TOUCHING THE REFLECTION! DO YOU FEEL IT?? FEEL IT??? OHHHH YEAAAHH HE TOUCHED IT
Do this again, but use a less intense light (a diffuser even) and do it in a completely dark room. I think the effect will be more pronounced if the light is less blinding and there is no outside light interference.
The problem with this is that the reflection we get is always dependent on the point of view, maybe putting a 360° VR camera in the middle inside a one way mirrored sphere...
In real life is much more trippy. If you go to a glass store, they have concave mirrors for you to see your face bigger and these mirrors have the same effect. It's really weird to look at, almost like your brain can't process the image properly
As a little child i used to worry wondering if i had swiched dimentions several times thrugh my bathroom mirror and my family was not my real family. It would seem to explain so much
1:52 _"Not all of the light is reflected; some of it is absorbed."_ - I think it is more accurate to say that all of the light is reflected but _it is losing energy_ with each reflection. I did like the water illusion. 4:27 I feel like this would have worked much better with a hole drilled into the back of one of the spheres to put the camera inside while it closed. Less distortion from the light source, I imagine. Of course that would have taken some very careful taping and drilling to prevent cracks.
@@iShowGaming02 dude thats such a boring reply to the reply to the reply of the original comment ...Why do you even want to embarrass yourself on a public forum like this? 🤦♂️
We could simulate this in VR, no? has someone not done that already? I guess recursive curved reflections can be a bit tricky to compute properly in real time though, but I bet it could still be done without too much difficulty with today's technology.
That wouldn't work. One-way mirrors are basically just tinted glass. The 'mirror' side needs to be very bright in comparison to the 'hidden' side, which is one limitation. The major issue is that it's transparent, so much if the light is lost upon each reflection, limiting the max number of reflections. Also, with no subject inside the sphere, there'd not be any interesting image to reflect.
You didn't show the most interesting situation when the camera's nodal point is at the center of the sphere. Your camera was offset on its optical axis.
I've watched tons of your videos and I think the ones like this end up the most interesting to me. Mainly because at first I'm like "who cares? What can you possibly learn about it?" AND I'm ALWAYS surprised to learn something. A couple that come to mind are the laser at a mirror one and the marshmallows in a vacuum one and the ones where you cover the interior of a room with mirror, white, or black paint. Going from wondering what the point is to thinking about using the knowledge gained somehow is simply the finest source of real science. If you think about it loads of science has really gone through same process. At some point in the past the occasional person started messing with something nobody else found interesting and now the world is filled with stuff we take for granted. There's science in everything, when you really think about it.
Same. But I believe the only way I can have it solved is if something invisible or astronomically small went inside and viewed it so it would be completely uninterrupted
@@HDTomo maybe make a gigantic spherical mirror that a camera looks astronomically small inside it. Definitely not impossible but quite hard or just really expensive to do
I would suggest, you bore a hole in the center of one hemisphere and put the camera there. And also make the light more ajustable - brighter and dimmer as required.
I once had a sonic toy frisbee that had an spherical mirror inside, making the figure pop up its reflection in a wierd illusion and reflection, making it half-ghostly outside the disk. It was really cool.
Definitely a simulated window into the higher dimension. Helps you to imagine a 4D pencil drawing a sphere. When we draw a circle with a compass we are actually drawing it from the inside. I love this amazing experiment. I would suggest suspending the camera with a filament in the exact center.
@@iBloodxHunter or maybe God (properties: Yin and Yan) enjoys turning inside out, splitting its awarenes (Yin), which swallows light that converges in a bright spot (Yan). That Spot of source energy (Yan) thats aware (Yin) can creates 'reality' by focussing light energy that is projected back, showing the conversion spot ('i am') an 'outside' reality that is percieved as completely 'seperate' from itself. Therefor experiencing shapes, dimensions, time and a lot of 'being tiny and powerless within a huge world, forgotten that its all happening within the split mind'. Or whatever, dude.
If you want to attempt this again, you could try your hand at getting 2 semi-spheres in plain smooth glass, put a piece of tape at the center of ONE of the semi-spheres and silvering both semi-spheres. Upon removing the tape you could attempt to half silver the spot void of silver, then you could have a single low power LED at the bottom of where the semi-spheres meet when closed so that it stays inside. Then you could turn the room lights out so conditions for the half silvered view-port you left on the sphere could be observed through from the outside. Sounds like a huge pain and I'm not even sure it's possible to truly silver a surface that isn't completely flat, but maybe you're mad enough to attempt something like this.
20+ years ago i went to a museum that had a hemispherical mirror. It was the most convincing 3D image id ever seen. I was fascinated and wondered if there was someway to make a 3D TV with same principals.
I'm pretty sure that "perfect mirror" is an abstract concept, just like a perfect black body. In reality every material that can interact with light will reflect and absorb some of it. Then again, superconductors exist, so maybe there could exist a material that reflects 100% light
Sheevlord here’s a link I found for MIT students making a perfect mirror. The definition of a perfect mirror is one that reflects light perfectly with no absorption. I used the same example of superconductors in my head when trying to debate whether it was possible or not lol. www.extremetech.com/computing/162322-mit-creates-the-first-perfect-mirror Edit: they might not be students. My bad
Suprith S Banakar 10th B well its not related but since superconductors can exist and have zero resistance, why can’t a mirror exist with zero absorption. Superconductors are more of a comparison
Daniel Quelapio well the mirror wouldn’t use any of the light energy, and the light energy wouldn’t be destroyed. So output energy (which I guess would be whenever the sphere opens) would be equal to input energy of photons
The edges are not darker because of the number of reflections, it's just that there are less rays coming at an appropriate angle to reflect into your eyes when lit from outside. Put light inside the bowl pointing to one edge and you can see how now it's bright Edit: Also, the effect you see when closing the two halves is the camera crossing the focal point of the sphere.
I would have liked to see the view of the camera entering the already closed sphere. I'm not sure how the camera focus works but it would be interesting to use something that can hunt through the focus and pick up more reflections.
The school will not also teach this trash. I mean what is the need pf this unnecessary information. The school teach us necessary information not this type of useless information.
Some people wanted me to show you the view of the camera in the middle of the sphere when the spheres were closed. However, this view looks the same as when the camera barely enters the oncoming mirror. At the midpoint is right when the light/camera enters its own reflection.

The problem with this is that the reflection we get is always dependent on the point of view, maybe putting a 360° VR camera in the middle inside a one way mirrored sphere...
Nested spherical cameras, like a dream within a dream.

YEAH LOL.
It was confusing though.
Trippy af
In real life is much more trippy. If you go to a glass store, they have concave mirrors for you to see your face bigger and these mirrors have the same effect. It's really weird to look at, almost like your brain can't process the image properly
Same

What if you to 2 domes, one side full mirror, and the other two-way mirrored.
This was one of my first thoughts too! But this could go on for all sorts of cool experiments.
thats actually a really good point
Good idea
Yeah yeah I wanna see
How about the half-spherical mirror and a flat mirror, too. The results should be different, but *how* different?
A human size spherical mirror would be awesome in a theme park mirror maze.

Does anyone else kinda want to go into one of these but feels like they would get insanely claustrophobic or simply go insane?

@@starlegends3092 you would if someone locked you in for sure
1:52 _"Not all of the light is reflected; some of it is absorbed."_ - I think it is more accurate to say that all of the light is reflected but _it is losing energy_ with each reflection.
I did like the water illusion.
4:27 I feel like this would have worked much better with a hole drilled into the back of one of the spheres to put the camera inside while it closed. Less distortion from the light source, I imagine. Of course that would have taken some very careful taping and drilling to prevent cracks.
Why would it need to be tapped? Just drill a hole as close to the dimension of the camera diameter as possible and press it into the hole
@@wolfiemuse taping, not tapping. Taping brittle surfaces before drilling reduces the risk of tearout.

We could simulate this in VR, no? has someone not done that already? I guess recursive curved reflections can be a bit tricky to compute properly in real time though, but I bet it could still be done without too much difficulty with today's technology.
Even with ray tracing becoming possible in real time on consumer hardware, there is a limit to the number of bounces that can be done. For now
It would take a pretty good computer, because I don't think you could do it without raytracing, and you would need to calculate many bounces.
Your computer would go into a wormhole
Do you want to explode?
Or alternatively we could just build a spherical mirror large enough for a person to walk into.

Get a one-sided mirror glass globe then can see inside without obstruction.
LIKE THIS IDEA
Holy crap yes
That wouldn't work. One-way mirrors are basically just tinted glass. The 'mirror' side needs to be very bright in comparison to the 'hidden' side, which is one limitation. The major issue is that it's transparent, so much if the light is lost upon each reflection, limiting the max number of reflections. Also, with no subject inside the sphere, there'd not be any interesting image to reflect.
@@erictheepic5019 So it’d just look dark?
@@vbgvbg1133 Not even that, it would just look like a clear ball with some tinting.
You didn't show the most interesting situation when the camera's nodal point is at the center of the sphere. Your camera was offset on its optical axis.
I've watched tons of your videos and I think the ones like this end up the most interesting to me. Mainly because at first I'm like "who cares? What can you possibly learn about it?" AND I'm ALWAYS surprised to learn something. A couple that come to mind are the laser at a mirror one and the marshmallows in a vacuum one and the ones where you cover the interior of a room with mirror, white, or black paint. Going from wondering what the point is to thinking about using the knowledge gained somehow is simply the finest source of real science. If you think about it loads of science has really gone through same process. At some point in the past the occasional person started messing with something nobody else found interesting and now the world is filled with stuff we take for granted. There's science in everything, when you really think about it.
Holy shit I’ve actually been wondering this for years. It’s my biggest theory question. This is awesome.
Same. But I believe the only way I can have it solved is if something invisible or astronomically small went inside and viewed it so it would be completely uninterrupted
@@HDTomo maybe make a gigantic spherical mirror that a camera looks astronomically small inside it. Definitely not impossible but quite hard or just really expensive to do
Man, Vsauce did it so much better several years ago.
I need to make a human scale art installation of this before I die! It's so trippy.
Normal People watching the camera inside of the mirror: “Hmm, interesting.”

*blackhole
Nezuko why did u change the eyes ....... Ur eyes were better before
Yes
I would suggest, you bore a hole in the center of one hemisphere and put the camera there.
And also make the light more ajustable - brighter and dimmer as required.
For years I've pondered this question at least once a month.
Really? Well here’s your answer 😂
I once had a sonic toy frisbee that had an spherical mirror inside, making the figure pop up its reflection in a wierd illusion and reflection, making it half-ghostly outside the disk.
It was really cool.
I had this one too! I think it was a Macdonalds toy.

That do be lookin like something from interstellar tho
Definitely a simulated window into the higher dimension. Helps you to imagine a 4D pencil drawing a sphere. When we draw a circle with a compass we are actually drawing it from the inside. I love this amazing experiment. I would suggest suspending the camera with a filament in the exact center.
Saying this is a sphere in the 4 dimensions suddenly make a lot of sense
Watching this made me wonder is black holes actually run on a similar principal.
Obviously with some extra stuff we can't measure.
@@iBloodxHunter or maybe God (properties: Yin and Yan) enjoys turning inside out, splitting its awarenes (Yin), which swallows light that converges in a bright spot (Yan). That Spot of source energy (Yan) thats aware (Yin) can creates 'reality' by focussing light energy that is projected back, showing the conversion spot ('i am') an 'outside' reality that is percieved as completely 'seperate' from itself. Therefor experiencing shapes, dimensions, time and a lot of 'being tiny and powerless within a huge world, forgotten that its all happening within the split mind'. Or whatever, dude.
Your explanation makes 4d make more sense.
This is like watching something impossible and a music video from the 2000s at the same time
If you want to attempt this again, you could try your hand at getting 2 semi-spheres in plain smooth glass, put a piece of tape at the center of ONE of the semi-spheres and silvering both semi-spheres. Upon removing the tape you could attempt to half silver the spot void of silver, then you could have a single low power LED at the bottom of where the semi-spheres meet when closed so that it stays inside. Then you could turn the room lights out so conditions for the half silvered view-port you left on the sphere could be observed through from the outside. Sounds like a huge pain and I'm not even sure it's possible to truly silver a surface that isn't completely flat, but maybe you're mad enough to attempt something like this.
Is it possible to do the same experiment with a one-sided mirror that is see-thru on the one side?
@Pizza Rolls why?
Especially if you would take a fluorescing material as the inner sphere and darkening the outer room.
?
I’m not understanding your question. Mirrors are always reflective on one side from my understanding
@@Bansheekilr on one side mirror on the other see-thru...
That’s a really good idea
20+ years ago i went to a museum that had a hemispherical mirror. It was the most convincing 3D image id ever seen. I was fascinated and wondered if there was someway to make a 3D TV with same principals.

Is there a perfect mirror that doesn’t absorb any light? I read an article on it a perfect mirror but I’m not sure of the legitimacy of it
I'm pretty sure that "perfect mirror" is an abstract concept, just like a perfect black body. In reality every material that can interact with light will reflect and absorb some of it.
Then again, superconductors exist, so maybe there could exist a material that reflects 100% light
No it defies conservation of energy
Sheevlord here’s a link I found for MIT students making a perfect mirror. The definition of a perfect mirror is one that reflects light perfectly with no absorption. I used the same example of superconductors in my head when trying to debate whether it was possible or not lol. www.extremetech.com/computing/162322-mit-creates-the-first-perfect-mirror
Edit: they might not be students. My bad
Suprith S Banakar 10th B well its not related but since superconductors can exist and have zero resistance, why can’t a mirror exist with zero absorption. Superconductors are more of a comparison
Daniel Quelapio well the mirror wouldn’t use any of the light energy, and the light energy wouldn’t be destroyed. So output energy (which I guess would be whenever the sphere opens) would be equal to input energy of photons
The edges are not darker because of the number of reflections, it's just that there are less rays coming at an appropriate angle to reflect into your eyes when lit from outside. Put light inside the bowl pointing to one edge and you can see how now it's bright
Edit: Also, the effect you see when closing the two halves is the camera crossing the focal point of the sphere.

I would have liked to see the view of the camera entering the already closed sphere. I'm not sure how the camera focus works but it would be interesting to use something that can hunt through the focus and pick up more reflections.
