"It is impossible for the inhabitants of different worlds to walk or sit or stand on the same floor, because they have differing conceptions of what is horizontal and what is vertical. Yet they may well share the use of the same staircase. On the top staircase illustrated here, two people are moving side by side and in the same direction, and yet one of them is going downstairs and the other upstairs. Contact between them is out of the question because they live in different worlds and therefore can have no knowledge of each other's existence.
...
Only those who attempt the absurd...
will achieve the impossible.
I think ...I think it's in my basement...
Let me go upstairs and check."
will achieve the impossible.
I think ...I think it's in my basement...
Let me go upstairs and check."
- M. C. Escher (1898 - 1972)
