Optical Physics: The Vampire Hunter's Guide

Optical Physics: The Vampire Hunter's Guide
The perfect intersection of astronomy and folklore! The first astronomer spots Count Dracula's castle through his refracting telescope and freaks out. Meanwhile, his buddy with the reflecting telescope (which uses mirrors) is completely clueless because—plot twist—vampires don't show up in mirrors! It's basically optical physics saving the second guy from a heart attack. Next time you're vampire hunting, remember: refractors for detection, reflectors for blissful ignorance.

The Mirror Paradox For Beginners

The Mirror Paradox For Beginners
Ever witnessed someone's brain short-circuit when confronted with basic physics? This poor soul is having an existential crisis over how a mirror can "see" what's behind a piece of paper. Spoiler alert: it can't. It's just reflecting what's in front of it—which happens to be your confused face staring back at you. This is the same energy as people who think their refrigerator light is always on because "it's on whenever I check!" The education system has failed us spectacularly.

Archimedes' Death Ray: Parental Guidance Required

Archimedes' Death Ray: Parental Guidance Required
The devil's parenting standards are surprisingly strict when it comes to ancient weaponry. Archimedes, the OG mad scientist, allegedly created a death ray by positioning mirrors to focus sunlight onto enemy ships, setting them ablaze from a distance. The physics actually checks out—concentrated solar energy can indeed create enough heat to start fires. Modern attempts to recreate this have had mixed results, suggesting Archimedes might have been history's first "trust me bro" scientist. Still, gotta admire a man who looked at the sun and thought "hmm, how can I weaponize that?"

Quick Physics Lesson: Mirrors Don't Work Both Ways

Quick Physics Lesson: Mirrors Don't Work Both Ways
Jordan clearly missed the day we covered angles of reflection in Physics 101. The ceiling mirror only shows Hans what Magnus is doing, not the reverse. Basic optics. It's like claiming gravity works sideways when you're holding the textbook upside down. The "WRONG" stamp is the chef's kiss of scientific correction - nothing more satisfying than watching someone confidently misunderstand reflective properties while a chess scandal brews.
