People have been reflecting on this woman’s hilarious bafflement at the scientific properties of mirrors
Scientific concepts can be confusing, at times, and that’s why the people who understand them – like Professor Brian Cox, Bill Nye the Science Guy and Neil deGrasse Tyson are both popular and necessary.
Occasionally, though, people just make science more difficult for themselves than seems reasonable, like Bethany King – demonstrating for TikTok her problem with mirrors.

Here’s how people reacted to her intervention.

You can explain it to them, but you can’t understand it for them.
Very true. But we’d still love to see Ann explain tariffs directly to Trump voters …or Trump.
