My Explanation of Why Mirrors Flip Left & Right
Added 2019-12-06 14:06:44 +0000 UTCI know a lot of people have made videos about this before, but I've always felt like most of them were missing something... and then I got started working on a video about CP violation (aka, mirror symmetry violation in particle physics) – which should be coming out soon, btw! – and got a little distracted by normal everyday mirrors.
Thanks as always for your support!

Nice! Especially words on a transparent sheet is great. I never saw that. I used to explain this to my friends with the picture "Not to Be Reproduced by René Magritte": so, your 'flip the left and right' means if this person rise the left hand, then in the mirror the person raise the right hand? I don't think so, at least he has already changed his orientation before flip left and right. Since I found the natural language description: flip left and right, is ambiguous. Literally, only left and right is flipped, it should be similar to the Rene's picture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_to_Be_Reproduced
