What's to understand? I look in a mirror, I see myself. I tilt it, I see something else.

Ever notice that when you look in a mirror, right is left, but up isn't down? Why is that?
To: blam
If "left" is "right", and "right" is "left" in a mirror, why isn't "up" "down", and "down" "up"?

They failed to recognise that the image on the surface of the mirror is half the size of the observer because a mirror is always halfway between the observer and the image that appears inside the mirror.So if see myself in a mirror from six inches away, I'll be the same size as if I'm 40 feet away? Exactly half my size? How about if I'm 16 miles away?
Still half sized?

I understand that birds think there's another open area ahead of them when they fly into a mirror, but why do they want to smash their head into that other bird?

This gets really funny in television.
For weathercasters (because we don't use scripts) the teleprompter video is switched to 'On the Air" mode in which you see what the viewer sees.
This works out fine until you use that image to straighten your tie. You move to the left and the teleprompter image goes the opposite way.
This would be a lot easier to get used to if I'd never used a mirror which is, of course the opposite of this.
Shoulda' consulted my parakeet...who is the world authority on mirrors.
Old TV joke:
How do you tell if Bill Clinton has been using your dressing room?
Answer: If there are lip-prints all over the mirror.

I know that they waste studies all the time, but this one takes the cake. I can't even believe that this was made into a study much less a story. I have not read any posts yet, but I can't wait.

Oh, jeez. What I don't understand is wasting all that time and money. Brits don't understand mirrors or toothbrushes.
Mr. M's dog can't figure out mirrors, but then the dog also tries to climb trees.
