Magic.

I KNEW IT 💜

They’re trampolines for light. 🤣

uhhh

hmm 🤔

what?

The photons bounce off it, at the opposite angle they landed on it. Just like kids on a trampoline. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t understand how my mind works anymore.

brb, lemme google what photons are 💜

Light particles. But not. They’re also waves. But also particles.

Good luck.

thank you so much 💜🤗

i am confused now

Great. Now you know as much as physicists do. ❤️

Duuude ! 🤣 fucking love this explanation 😂

Mirrors specifically, or reflection in general?

Mirrors aren't real
