Last week I had the opportunity to watch a movie by Christopher Nolan
Incepcja with Leonardo DiCaprio in the role of a perfect thief, who works in the most fragile of all possible worlds, ie the human subconscious. Wkradając to the victim's mind during sleep, is able to extraction of all, even the most secret information. The plot basically little surprising, but the special effects in first class.
depicted on screen in a dream world time becomes sticky and stretchy, and the laws of physics are valid only in so far as we want. Architects can design buildings, which in reality could not possibly arise because defy logic. One of the tricks used by them is the paradox of Penrose. In the fifties of last century, British scientist Lionel Penrose
with his son Roger
created a series of figures impossible to counter the logic of space, of which perhaps the most recognizable is the Penrose triangle
.
attempt to transfer the figures are impossible to three-dimensional world of optical illusions result, which is a great example
Penrose stairs. This motif has been used in lithography Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher
of 1960. Work
Enterer and descending showing building with endless stairs, after which the wheel enter and descend monks. There is no case because the Dutch saying
"work monk" is a pointless waste of time. That is also walking the stairs without end.
Usage impossible figures in the dream world does not surprise me much. The more that as long as we dream, everything we see and live is the most logical, until the awakening.
