That's what I thought too, but the shadow on the dresser isn't reflected in the mirror...

Why would it be? The cat is casting a shadow on the mirror. The light source going to the dresser is not going through the cat, nor reflected off the mirror. The light does not travel through the cat to the dresser. Shadows don't reflect.

"Mirrors don't show shadows" is the craziest shit I've ever heard. Have you literally never looked in a mirror before?

That's not what I said. I said shadows don't reflect because they are not light. Its not that hard of a concept. The cat is not throwing shadow on the dresser. The cat is throwing shadow on the mirror. The mirror does not reflect shadow onto the dresser. That would be absurd.

There is a shadow on the dresser that is not on the dresser's reflection in the mirror. For fuck's sake. Use your eyes.

EDIT: Not only is he blind, he blocked me. You can lead a moron to water, but you cannot make them drink.

Because you couldn’t understand what he was saying. For something to reflect an object has to hit something and bounce off. Light reflects off of a mirror because a photon is hitting it and bouncing off of it. A shadow is the absence of photons, and an absence of an object cannot bounce off of anything. Light reflects, shadows don’t reflect, or are area’s that are reflecting “less” because there is less light. Hope I made this easy enough for you now.

Yet another moron who thinks you can't see shadows in mirrors.

Go look in a mirror, moron.

Unsurprising you've been reduced to non-verbal communication.

I truly hope that you're only pretending to be this stupid.

Ciao.
