I would hate to do that! Becoming insane would be..insane! Not like I'm insane already!
Bit of a late reaction, but I once read a story about a guy that was obsessed with mirrors and at some point he created a spherical mirror. He, infact, did go insane. Or he died, I can't quite remember. It's been a while since I read it. It's a short story by Edogawa Ranpo, if you're interested.

We miss the old Vsauce though
Someone needs to create a VR simulation of a spherical mirror

With the technology we have today I’m sure it would be more than possible.
Rohin Shah only if you have a god level computer to run it. Lighting is the most intensive parts of graphics
on it
lols, this is super easy in any game engine.
I think the reason why people like mirrors more is because in mirrors we tend to focus on our preferred parts, whereas in cameras we see the whole picture.
This is the first time I'm hearing this argument, and it really does make sense! Interesting 🤔
That's what he said in the video
I love how vsauce talks really slowly and clearly so everyone can understand
I like how he drew a second outline when he could have easily just proven the point by lining the phone up with the first one.
Exactly
The object size relative to the mirror obviously decreases in size when you move away ! I even tried however reluctantly, it got reduced in size .
Didnt he say that size remains same ?!
Edit on nov 2020: i found someone liking this reply (probably if they too didnt get it on first time), please know that : i realized that i was wrong , on the same day :p.
Yes the image reflecting area in the mirror is half to the real
Vishwa kumar It does stay the same. I tested it myself and it worked. He even demonstrated it working on video.
Ok i got it now .. 👍. What i first understood was .. "moving the phone away from the mirror and drawing the border WHILE STAYING at the mirror , the size remains same" that is how i understood it first.
I'm pretty sure if I trace the contour of the moon reflection on a mirror is not half the size of the real moon.

To create a true mirror you only have to arrange two normal mirrors at a 90 ° angle to each other.
I have questions regarding 2:27, I think the point where the image will fill my view would be when I am at the focus of the mirror, and from that point upto the centre of curvature, I wouldn't be able to see my face

But what happens if you turn the spherical mirror inside out?
It shatters
HEHEHE I AM A SUPAH FLYING ACE
that video is weird
It wouldn't do much. That's basically what the bean in chicago is, just not perfectly spherical. The reason the inside of a spherical mirror is so interesting is because it's going to continue to reflect light unless that light hits something inside the mirror.

I am very sorry for anything that seems bad that may have happened in your life. I want you to know that you are incredible and are capable of wonders. What matters is your inside, not your exterior. Love yourself and cherish yourself. Words cannot explain how astonishing you are. You deserve care, love, and happiness, don't let anything make you feel otherwise. You may or you may not think that you are a failure but you are not, we are humans and we are bound to make mistakes so failures will come but that will give you the prize of what you have learned. Even if it may be a very small prize, it is very significant and important because you are amazing and deserving to learn and grow just as everyone else is.

Please don't do what is wrong, fighting back and harming others will not solve the problem. Please understand that and do the good thing. It will one day come back to you. The people in the world are so much more than what we know about them, not everyone opens up about the beautiful things and acts they have witnessed, not all those amazing doings are acknowledged. Please understand that and know that. If you feel like no one cares about you, know that I care about you. Keep your head up high and never give up! Together, we can be a better community! Stay safe, healthy, happy, kind, understanding, positive and strong!
Another way of thinking about the "you're always the same size" effect is.......as you pull back from the mirror, your reflection is getting smaller but the mirror is also getting smaller at the same rate.
I'm tripping about the phone size thing
my brain officially died that day
BlackSH0veldeath think of it this way... If you look at a mirror 2 feet away from it and outline yourself, then go 50 feet away and outline yourself, your outline would be the same. You just need really long arms to make it possible but the reasoning behind it is perspective. You never really change size in a mirror since your eyes are what determine the size of the figure in the mirror. Instead, you’re looking at yourself at the exact same size, looking into a mirror that’s the exact same size, just at different distances.
Another way of thinking of it is that, if you do the same test and have someone else highlight you and that person is 2 feet away while you stand 50 feet away, the highlight won’t match. It will actually be much smaller since his eyes are seeing you at a different area.
It’s hard to explain but the one takeaway you should grab from it is that it doesn’t really matter. It’s honestly just a fun fact rather than anything helpful for the average viewer.
Another fun fact though is that, if you look good in a mirror, you look good in person (or at least you’re your type). Looking bad in a mirror though means your ugly (or at least you’re not your type). So next time you look at a picture your friends took and they say it’s fine, then it’s probably fine.
Also i dont think it works from just looking at the mirror you have to trace your phone the way you see it on the camera and then step back and look threw the camera
I think that it could also be the Sydney Opera House Illusion. He made a video a bout that too.
If you take an object, and make it an infinitely long pillar towards the mirror that keeps the same width, will it magically get smaller when it's further away? No. Perspective is an illusion. It's not easy to explain, but it makes perfect sense. It doesnt get smaller further away, it just seems to. Thats why if you look at it in a mirror, it doesnt ever, ever get smaller.
Is it just me or double mirrors feel like its a portal to a diffrent dimension or universe it kind of scares the shit out of me
it scares me too. it has something to do with progression toward dark plus never ending.
VxexoticxV same
It's just the light being reflected. I think Vsauce has a video on it.
Try them at the top and bottom of a spiral staircase
Idk why, but sometimes i check the reflections to make sure they don t fcking kill me or something
It's funny: when I invert my drawings I feel like there's something wrong with them but can't find anything
When my electric got cut off before & I only had like 2 lights I tried putting a few mirrors in my room hoping it would reflect it better. It helped a little depending on how angled they were bt not much
It's spherical!! ITS SPHERICAL!!

Thank you
The way vsauce dude changes topics to something indirectly relevant is GOATED
the same size trick is something that I found out while staring at my reflexive watch at a light. noticed that as the mirror got closer or farther away from me, the light seemed to stay put. it is easily provable by noticing that getting the mirror closer is equivalent with making the mirror larger and so the actual image stays the same.

I read a fantasy book once where the final step of a magician's training was to build and seal a completely spherical mirror with themselves inside it. This opened their third eye and allowed them to use magic. The trick was, they had to work fast for the last bit because the mirror was airtight. Something about the infinite total blackness of a completely sealed spherical mirror, and that imagery through the naked eye was a mental shock to the character. I guess I've always wanted to try it, just for kicks.
Huh
what's the name of the book? It sounds cool
Instead of opening your third eye you just see that thing they showed in animation

I've wondered these exact same things! I even set up a virtual camera inside a spherical mirror using Cinema 4D 3D modelling - not sure why I didn't get it to work. Speaking of mirrors, here's an anecdote from my youth in a boarding school in Africa where we all made papier mache marionettes to act out Snow White. The Canadian girl playing Snow White said (phonetically) "Mere, mere, on the wall ..." to which the teacher replied with a veddy proppah British accent "It's not MERE. It's Mirrah, mirrah, on the wall ..."

i went to a science exhibition with my friends and there was an actual spherical mirror.... well, it was a semi circle in a wall, from afar it looks alot less deep than it really was, when you put your hand in it, your hand would keep going further than you expect and that itself can be really strange, its until you stick your head into it. first it looks strange and you can hardly tell what is in it, then you can see your face flipped upside down, then your face fills up your entire field of view really suddenly which actually scared me at first because im so ugly XD, and when you go deeper it only takes up more space until you inevitably bonk your nose into the back of the mirror making yourself look like a fool
