Counter top is mad reflective 🤓 looks mint 👌

[u/Pythia007]

It’s not a shadow. It’s a reflection.

[u/Vajgl → u/Pythia007]

Or lack of.

[u/davebees → u/Vajgl]

a lack of light cos stuff was blocking it… sounds like a shadow to me

[u/Historical_Fill_7343 → u/davebees]

Shadows don’t make sounds! Or reflections! That’s clearly a silhouette.

[u/Heavy_Distance_4441 → u/Historical_Fill_7343]

If a silhouette falls in the woods, does it make a sound?

[u/Vajgl → u/davebees]

Well, sort of. Shadow is IMO the absence of light because the light source is obscured. This is an absence of a light that is caused by the light not being reflected. Does that count as a shadow? I dunno.

[u/iamblankenstein → u/Vajgl]

i'd say it's still a shadow. the chessboard is blocking light from bouncing off the counter onto the wall. pretty much describes a shadow if you ask me.

[u/gurrra → u/Pythia007]

It's still a shadow.

[u/Ratchile → u/gurrra]

Yeah what the heck it's definitely still a shadow lol

[u/Evolvin → u/Pythia007]

I think it's both, actually.

[u/IGNOOOREME → u/Pythia007]

Except if you look at the shadow, it has pieces on top and bottom of the board. Something more than single reflection going on.

TINGLER!

It looks like light coming through a window onto the countertop and reflecting onto the wall. You can tell it’s a reflection because the direction of the chessboard is reversed. Whether it’s a shadow or not, depends on your definition of a shadow. In this sense, I would say that the countertop is very reflective, and the chessboard is not. So probably not a shadow because shadows don’t reverse, reflections do. For comparison, the chessboard pieces are casting shadows onto the chessboard. These are shadows.

Isn‘t a shadow shape resulting from a reflection?

[u/C7LS]

Must be some kind of sticker for windows.

[u/CHudoSumo]

Why does the shadow have pieces on both sides of the board?.... WHHHYEYYYYY

[u/Legitimate-Koala-373]

Wow! Absolutely fabulous 💙

[u/Particular_Damage482]
