Why Spoons Can Flip Your Reflection
- Concave and convex reflections differ because each point on a curved mirror redirects incoming light in different directions, causing image inversion when rays cross.
- Close enough to a spoon (concave) the crossing can reverse again, explaining upside-down faces in spoons.
There Is No Universal Up Or Down
- There is no absolute up or down in space; 'down' is defined as toward Earth's center and 'up' is away from it, so hemispheres aren't literally top/bottom in the universe.
- Cartographic convention (north-up) became standard by historical chance, not because the Northern Hemisphere is inherently 'up'.
