Impossible Illusions

These impossible illusions are phenomena that play tricks on our perception, challenging our understanding of reality. These illusions remind us that our perception is both fascinating and fallible, often leading us to see the impossible or question what we believe to be true. Most of these configurations are impossible in Euclidean geometry but can exist in non-Euclidean geometries like nil geometry.

This visual illusion is well worth studying for a while as it should be completely impossible and yet you can see the reality in front of your own eyes. How could this possibly be?


Impossible Optical Illusions

One of our favourite impossible illusions based on the classic "Eternal Waterfall" concept and design. We all know water can't flow uphill so how does this work? If you can work it out you might have just solved the key to limitless hydropowered electricity! Then again, it's just an animated gif...

Work out this impossible illusion. How can a block be cut from the bar of white chocolate and yet the block remains complete? If you can work it out maybe you should open your own very profitable chocolate factory as you will never run out!

Another of our impossible illusions, this one inspired by the works of Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972), one of the world's most famous graphic artists who used art to explore infinity, reflection, symmetry and perspective.
