What Would Happen If You Went In a Mirror?

A video on YouTube. In Science & Engineering, a Krater category.

Summary by Krater

The video explains why mirrors can reflect objects behind paper and explores the physics and biological implications of chirality through a mirror-image world thought experiment.

From the video

Answers: How does a mirror reflect an object when a piece of paper is placed in front of it?

mirror reflection physics
light rays and angle of incidence
LiDAR scanning of mirrors
chirality in biomolecules
mirror-image biology and health

What it concludes

A piece of paper in front of a mirror blocks the direct reflection behind it, but light from the object can still bounce off uncovered parts of the mirror to reach the viewer.
LiDAR scanners cannot detect mirrors correctly and interpret them as separate rooms.
Biological molecules are chiral, meaning they have two mirror-image shapes, but nature only uses one of those shapes.
Living on mirror-image food would lead to starvation and cellular deterioration because the body cannot process mirror-image proteins.
