Blog is bigger than it appears



I have lots to do so I'll make this one quick. Mirrors on car, they say "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Ever wonder why? Well now we know, they are convex mirrors, on both sides of the car. So next time you see a big ass turck in your mirror, just remember that it's not as big as you think. What about the rearveiw mirror? Why odesn't that have a warning? Because it is a planar, flat mirror, so the image is virtual, but you have to think that it is behind you, because if you look at it and think the image is behind the mirror, you're about to get in a crash. Know what I mean? And plus, in parking garages, since we're on the subject of cars, have those convex mirrors so you can see around the corners, and that being said, they should have a warning :"Objects in mirror are farther than they appear." Gotta go do my 3-d project.
