If white surfaces reflect all light they receive, why aren't all white surfaces mirrors?
>>16555556High albedo does not imply perfect scattering. White surfaces can be very rough and reflect light in all directions. Mirrors are smooth, so the scattering is nice and regular. The way mirrors are made is by covering a thin coat of silver with glass. Molten metals are very smooth, obviously.
>>16555563I rubbed the wal of my room with sandpaper and it didn't become a mirror
>>16555568Cool. So it's still not smooth enough. At least not as smooth as your brain.
>>16555555
>>16555574you are a dumbass. no matter how smooth you make chalk, it will never become a mirror.
>>16555599i could probably see my reflection in your brain though
>>16555599Yeah, because it's made of a material that is extremely hard to smooth out. It's brittle. Metal can be molten and it naturally gets smoothed by gravity. You can jerk off a piece of chalk with sandpaper all you want, but it's not going to refine all those microscopic cavities that scatter light in random directions.
>>16555614>You can jerk off a piece of chalk with sandpaper all you wantwhich is weird since it's basically metal with some carbon and oxygen.
>>16555624>since it's basically metal with some carbon and oxygen.>t. I never passed high school chemsitry
>>16555563also, even if white surfaces can't show my face because the light travels in different directions, it should at least change color to the color of my face.the fact that it keeps being white when you put something of another color next to it proves that white isn't unpolished mirror
>>16555632>it should at least change color to the color of my faceDoes your face glow? Do you look at chalk in complete darkness? Hello? CIA niggers?
>>16555635according to you, my face is reflecting light from the sun or whatever. get your own facts straight
>>16555631calcium is literal metal anon. chalk is made out of it.
>>16555638No shit. Go read about chemical bonds and how they affect the physical structure of materials. Ionic vs covalent bonds. You know, high school chemistry curriculum.
>>16555644>autism overloadit was a joke you nerd
>>16555649>I was merely pretending to be retarded it was just a prank bro
>>16555672why are you so angry?
