When I enter my workplace via the revolving door, I see a reflection of myself, 
and what is directly behind me. As I push on the door and it revolves, the 
angle of reflection doesn't change! I still see what is directly in front of 
the building. The image doesn't shift or distort in any way. How/why does this 
happen?
