Damn, putting retroreflective stickers on the back of the headrests is brilliant! I hope people will realize they can regulate the car light heights and avoid blinding other drivers...
When you're so excited to talk about a topic, you trip over your own tongue. Very relatable.😂 I vaguely knew that those signs, etc, worked like that, but I never understood precisely why. Learned something new, thanks!😊
So this is what I need in my car for the clowns with the LED lights who want to tailgate...
Great explainer! You guys always rock in explaining science and especially everyday science and how it affects our lives. Thank you!
It's hard not to be dragged along in your enthusiasm and excitement, plus the content is genuinely interesting. Top marks from me!
Love the excitement! It IS exciting!
3m has a proprietary process on how to produce this material. They are fairly secreticive about it.
I gotta do this in my car too
Can we put retro reflectors on the back of cars so people with high beams on KNOW IT
Isn’t there also a very slight angle change engineered in since you don’t always want the light to go back directly to the source, but rather to a vehicle operators eyes that are set back or up from where the headlights would be?
1. I've always wanted to know what this was called, and now I do: retroreflectivity 2. I always thought it was cool that a road sign would reflect light back like a prism. 3. If you were a kid in the 80's, there were retroreflective stickers. They use to make 3d stickers with this technology.
I learned something today thanks ❤
Like the reflectors on bycicles and other road vehicles.
I love these reflectors
very well explained thank you sir
this helps me understand why scishow space made a point of stating apollo left Retro-reflectors on the moon (i understood the need for reflection of the laser but not how it worked)
I love retroreflective technology.
Alternatively, all road signs could be glitter. Less predictable but oh so fabulous
Question though is, is it even legal to have retroreflectors on your vehicle to spite people using high beams
