    Suppose you were in this situation and suspected something. I’d imagine the space behind it would be totally dark, so what would be a safe way to check if there’s a gap in between without breaking the glass?

      there are no “one-way” mirrors. You just need to make your side darker than the other side (there’s a reason the observation side of a two-way mirror is never brightly lit, but the interrogation room is)

      Tldr: put your face right up against it and use your hands to block out as much light as you can

        15 upvotes? Really? Mirrors are painted on the back with opaque paint.

        Are we cross posting this to a flat earth science forum?
