What if instead of a mirror, it was a video screen projecting your image back, but flipped? Your shirt would read the right way.
There is a University professor/researcher in the US that has created a bunch of different kinds of mirrors, including one that doesn't reverse the image. HIs name is Dr. Andrew Hicks, and he (at least in 2012) worked at Drexel University. You should talk to him about mirrors in a new episode. Maybe show examples of his mirrors.

This is just making a simple thing "sound" complicated…. Mirrors just reflect…
But why do I am able to write mirror writing at the same time from right hand proper writing? Is my brain normal please tell me guide me.
We are used to seeing a "reversed" version of ourselves in our reflections, but as we are not exactly symmetrical, we often experience vague discomfort when seeing our photos. Stand next to a friend and notice how you look "normal" in a mirror, but your buddy looks off in subtle ways. Each side of our face has tendencies to sag or smile more than the other, and we are instinctively sensitive to these clues and traits when face to face with another.
Is this really something people are puzzled by?
April fools? No? Wtf
My brain hurts.
Every time I try to enter the mirror world, my mirror breaks. What am I doing wrong?
If you stand on a mirror it flips you vertically though
Are you trolling us? 🤔😐
hi physics girl, instead of using food on paper, try a matrix of 3×3,
4×4, 5×5
so we got mathematics problems solving in very easy way
try it and say india is great
all the knowledge are going from indian origin
The algorithm is a mistery.
I just wasted my time upon a issue that i actually know about
Isn't this a phenomenon of parity?
Okay but wtf?
I'm more confused than when I got here
Thank's for explaining everything in this video I was freaking out. I thought it was some kind of voodoo

they dont flip horizontally or vertically, they flip front to back.
I think anyone who takes 2 minutes at most has the sense to figure this out. Which is shorter than your video…
Mirrors dont flip, they reflect. The end.
Woman….
This girl needs a hobby.
..easy, it's because, because is a conjunction.. 🤘
The pimple tha's on the right side of my face is seen on the left side to other people looking at me.

I know how a mirror work.
But your video is so confusing that I had to wait a little before stopping to doubt myself…
Please go back to school…
She reminds me of sweet Dee
The problem isn't the mirror, the letters are incorrect in placement.
Yeah, but what do blind people see in a mirror???
Haven't watched video, responding to title: Mirrors don't flip images, they just reflect the image right back at you. What you're actually flipping is the object when you turn it away from the mirror back towards you.
Flipping you off, with a hair flip to the right !
Thank you young lady for clearing that up 4 me that's one less thing I have to worry about

"Why do mirrors flip horizontally (but not vertically)?"…. Because, if it flips vertically, we would spill our drinks everytime we walk past a mirror with a drink, duuh…. Blonde, pfff
This girl even confuses the voices inside her head.
