Summary
[edit]DescriptionMirror read.jpg | Holding a word up to a mirror with no other obstructions reveals clearly that the mirror does not flip left to right, but instead flips front to back. Note that both the actual word and its mirror image can be read properly, as they both have the letter "R" on the left. Also note that on the real letter "E" you can read the word "FRONT" but on the mirror image letter "E", you read the word "BACK". This shows that the mirror image is flipped front to back. | |||
