Something to Ponder

April 16, 2008

I was looking at the mirror on the passenger side says:

Caution:  Objects in mirror are closer than they appear

and I started thinking.  Why?  Why are the objects in that mirror closer than they appear and not the other mirrors?  And who figured it out?

I found some answers online, but not on wikipedia, so I don’t believe any of them.
