Eye of The Beholder

I hate math, but this is pretty damn cool. 

A scientist at Drexel University figured out a way to create mirrors that dont distort or reverse the images reflected into them. You know how text appears backwards when you look at it in the mirror? Well, using carefully calc'd algorithims on his computer, R. Andrew Hicks has discovered all kinds of cool new ways to reflect images once thought impossible.


In this mirror, the text on the spine of the book, "GRAVITATION" appears normally. Cool, huh?







This one could be used for car doors; you may never have to adjust the rear views again!

















I've actually never seen a curved mirror that doesn't curve the straight lines reflected into it. This is genius.


Oh, think of the possibilities.
