    I am very fond Escher's works, many featuring impossible physics.
    Rochester Institute of technology has constructed an Escherian stairwell that defies comprehension.
    Can CEans (civil or uncivil) come up with their comments (any four letter words must be only symbolic)

    For suspense haters the explanation can be found if the file is opened. The password is CrazyEngineers (no spaces C and E capitalised)

    Please see the explanation in the Escher.doc file attached to the original post. Not too clear though.

    It's an optical illusion, nothing else.

    As the explanation in the attachment implies, it is an attempt to create a myth. When the person climbs the stairs, the filming is interrupted when the person turns the corner. The scene is reset upstairs and the shooting continues.

    And what about the last scene when camera moves with him. 😕

    The camera moves slowly. There is a lift. The lift would have been held at the upper floor and as the camera moves down the person goes down the lift and reaches the other floor when the camera reaches that floor.
