Or are we trying to see our vision of how we think things "should" be imposed on the mirrored image? I think the answer is the latter. Standing before a mirror your right hand mirrors the right hand and the left the left. Direct reflection. There is no reversal. If you write letters on a clear transparent film (cellophane, laundry wrap, veggie bag) and held it up to the mirror you will see the letters "reversed" in the mirror but when you look through the film the letters are also reversed. Flip the film to where you see the letters properly oriented on it and they will be properly oriented in the mirror also. Try it. I just did. There is no reversal. |
