    Is this a serious question? If you really want an idea of how it works you should get a laser pointer and point it at the egg in the mirror and then put some fog/dust in the beam. It should be apparent what’s happening.

        I see this as many people are curious of why this happens which leads to the eagerness to learn about optics, and I wouldn’t call that stupid.

        This is exactly the type of experiment that engages students and ingrains the phenomenon to their memory.

          It wasn’t an experiment. The creators just feign stupidity to generate engagement. I wouldn’t mind if they used it to teach how optics or light work .

      Beware of adding a double slit to the paper and aiming the laser between the slits, weird things might happen.
