If he trips, will he fall down the stairs forever?

[MMmusing]

@Eriansy13 Look up "A Day in the Life of an MC Escher Drawing" (on youtube) to answer your question.

[FrederickDelarge]

Why is he going up rather than down? Much easier going down surely, especially if you are stuck with it for ever.

[hnoobsho]

@propilot1012 this is a illusion by the angel you look at it...you couldn't build one with wood lol

[ItayoMan]

@MMmusing haha that was good..

[UltimasIsland]

@propilot1012 The thing is you can't. It's only possible from a Third person perspectiv elike Echochrome. of we live dina world of Third Person seeing we'd have no problem with impossinle geometry, but it'd be a paradox if we forced it to be real. Look up "real life impossible stairs" and the camera will turn to show you why it looks real. It is in reality detached greatly

This is a good graphic on how many people feel about their

employment - and lives! At least do yourself a favour buddy by turning

around and taking the same road downhill.

[It9LpBFS37]
