There is always some water condensation on the inside of the lid if it's kept in the 'regular' position. If water drips back to the culture the indivodual bacterial colonies will wash together. Inverted incubation prevents that.

What are inversions according to music?

In Music, we speak of inverted intervals, chords or phrases. An inverted interval is just like an inverted fraction. It's upside down. Think of a fifth, C on the bottom, G on the top. Now put the G on the bottom and the C on the top. An inverted fifth becomes a fourth and vice versa. An inverted third becomes a sixth and vice versa. Think of a regular triad in root position: root, third and fifth. If you put the third as the lowest note, we call that the first inversion. If you put the fifth as the lowest note, we call that the second inversion.

If images focused on the retina are inverted how do you see the worl in its proper perspective?

You see objects because they reflect light rays. As light travels to your eyes, the lens focuses the image of the object on the retina. The image of the object in the retina is inverted. As the image is formed, the optic nerves send the message to the brain. It is the brain that interprets and corrects the inverted image into an upright position. - Science Links by Sugpatan, Parde and Apolinario
