    Could you theoretically create a longer hallway at a much more mild angle making even the people going through it feel as if they are always going up. Like two stair sets on opposite sides of a "building." It would be less immediately trippy, but a couple laps through mixed with not really getting anywhere would have a fun compounding effect.

    • @Dkgow
      @Dkgow 2 роки тому +8

      You would have to make it feel like you are going up when in reality you are going down. That way you go up x height then go back down that same height so that the transition between landings always feels like you are going up when you just returned to the same landing you were just on. If you can solve that problem then you have solved the "infinite" staircase.
      So without changing halfway through so that you can see the other landing (as most staircases let you so that you "know" you are going up) you need to go up one side, and down the other while seemingly going up in some fashion. The landing would have to look like you were going up to it even though in reality you were going down to the other one.

      What you guys are talking about is literally impossible, you are essentially describing a paradox.
      There is absolutely no way you can create stairs that makes you feel like you are going up while going down.
      If you angle the stairs you end up with the same problem as the model, they eventually end up sideways. Gravity is still a thing, and no matter how you choose to design the stairs or how long or large you make them, gravity will immediately reveal their flaws.
      You will never have the sensation of "going up" since that requires you to use your leg to push your body weight up against gravity, which wouldn't work when you are "falling" with gravity at an angle.
      So unless you have a way to alter gravity itself, and give each set of stairs their own gravitional pull that dynamically "circle" into each other, you will never be able to make these stairs.

    In 1991 a mate of mine made a balsa wood model of the MC Escher staircase using false perspective, it was to do stop frame animation over for the titles to a French game show. He’d just finished it when the phone rang “Destroy it!!!” It turns out the copyright was £1,000 per second so that’d be £30k every time the titles rolled! He kept it, it was on his music room wall :D

    The only way to make an "infinite" staircase is with the 4th dimension. Perhaps you could program one into a game😃 To a 4th dimensional being it would basically be like climbing up and climbing down again exept every time it climbs down it goes in and out of the W axis

      Putting an infinite staircase in a video game is borderline trivial, and this kind of thing has actually been done a few times. I can't remember any example games off the top of my head, they tend to be mods or custom maps or play-once-and-forget-it indie games (which is not a criticism btw, I love that kind of game). The one example I *can* remember is a game that didn't even use it in the end - the developer commentary in Portal 2 explains that during development they allowed the mappers to connect rooms in such ways to create impossible geometries, but only because they didn't want them to waste time laying out the separate rooms and corridors in a logical way when all of the rooms are still being actively developed and changed. Near the end of development, they finally sat down and laid out all of the (now finalized) rooms, removing all of the impossible geometries.
      Except one instance in the whole game, they said. They didn't say where it was! But I think it was actually kept for technical reasons rather than actually making impossible geometry.
      Also, I have to mention the infinite staircase in Super Mario 64!

    you could built a little 3D model of these stairs on a rubiks cube. You gotta take the cube hold it with one side facing you, rotate the each strip by a small angle keeping the same face towards you, then turn the cube to the right and rotate each strip by roughly the same angle in the same direction ( if you did the first side facing you upwards then do the second side upwards to ). Now if you view it from the sides and follow the "steps" you'll notice they always seem to ascend or descend

    i watched you're video yesterday and it got me thinking, maybe you did your 3d model wrong. instead of a slant or hill, why not use 2 other sets of stairs instead. doing this would work as it would solve the problem of the angle you would need if you were to go with a slanted platform, while thus creating a never ending stairs. granted, there would of course, be a point of entry, but the stairs themselves would never reach a destination as they would always lead to the other set of stairs. it wouldn't be the illusion that you were going after, but it would be a physical build of the forever stairs.

    In Eshers pictures he has used 4 sets of stairs, yet here he's gone for just 2. In someway wouldn't it be better to have more sets or stairs? The angle of rise/fall could be distributed more evenly and seem less noticeable. Also, there are those weird streets that work as optical illusions where things look like they roll uphill due to the surroundings, so couldn't this effect be applied also.

    You can build one of those. You just have to have enough room. The span of the stairway has to be a wider. It's a hyperloop stairway. It's almost the same way light travels. Monochromatic. But. With information inside of it. Like a burst of light. So the wider stairway you can get, you use more rails.

    I am able to kind off get that we can build on this model by introducing a greater height difference on both the higher platform and lower platform,
    With which we'll be able to show an actual staircase at the lower 'stairs'
    So the actual up and down motion would be managed by the two slopes at both the ends of the stairs (the platform)
    One platform would take us higher, from where we 'go down the stairs', and at the end of those, would be a platform which goes lower, from where we go up the stairs
    (With only one platform sloped, we get a straight line of stairs like in this video, I think)
