SUMMARY
The discussion addresses the optical phenomena related to reflections and distortions in mirrors and light behavior. It explains that a glass wall reflects light differently based on the viewer's position, allowing people inside a cafe to see outside while the outside viewer sees only their reflection. Additionally, it highlights that funny mirrors distort images due to their curved surfaces, which alter light paths. The conversation also touches on the eye sizes of deep-sea fish compared to mid-water fish, attributing this to light availability in their respective environments.
