If you took a spoon (or fork or whatever) and twisted it so it was the oposite direction would it reflect in the same way?

Can you be more explicit about what you mean? I cannot interpret the question.

by **papernuke** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 10:54 pm

If you took a spoon and the back reflects you in the right way and the back dosent? So, if you took it and bent the part where you put the stuff that you eat (curving in part) and curved it the other way. Would it still reflect like it did earlier?

No, it the image you saw before would be inverted.

by **papernuke** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:04 pm

So you mean it would be the same but the side you were looking at was upside down (and the other side was up)?

by **Nick** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:08 pm

Not upside down, inverted sideways.

by **papernuke** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:11 pm

How? And do you mean if you had a wart on your right cheek, it would be on your left cheek now (looked to you)?

by **Nick** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:24 pm

Yeah, that's what inverted sideways means.

by **papernuke** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 3:41 am

But then how could that happen? I mean wouldn't it just go upside down?

Light reflects. When you have the outer side facing you, light bounces off away from your face:
^
^
\^
|* * *
/@
@
@

When you push it in the opposite direction, the light rays crisscross:
@
/^ @
|* # * * *
\ @ ^
^

So you see both an upside down image and an inverted image.

I still don't understand the question...

it isn't the surface of the spoon that is making your face upsidedown and backwards its the geomity, so if you change one sides geomity to the others then it will produce the old results of the other side.

Damnit, the spaces didn't work, so the light rays look like a bunch of crappy symbols. And what's this you say about geomity? I don't think I understand the question anymore... :?

when i said its geomitry, i meant its shape. the form of the object. sry if i improperly used that word, its the only thing that came to mind at the time.

and if you want to make a picture with clear space in between it (spaces) figure out what color the background of your post will be, replace the spaces with the letter k or something and then code the color of the ks to match the background

an ad on to icons question. what about a 4d spoon. how would the image flipping work then?

Put the whole thing in code brackets
