The possibility of the impossibility

Following the brilliant trail of some of my colleagues on the faculty, this afternoon, which is almost overnight, the yellow light of my bedside lamp, I bring one of the biggest highs of metaphysics. Is it possible the impossible? Looks like a full-fledged semantic contradiction, one of those perfect antithesis, which by definition can not be conceived, at least on this plane of reality, provided that we understand both concepts in its most pure (what can and can not make or carry out). Otherwise we could argue that nothing is impossible, honoring the "Impossible is Nothing " of Adidas, and simply impossible to believe that, for now, we can not see realized due to lack of knowledge (who know if within a century or less we will have developed a time machine, or reach the speed of light). When I say impossible I mean impossible in its truest sense and best example what better than a picture:



Penrose Triangle
would be impossible to reproduce so unusual ; creation in three dimensions that limit our reality, apparently, however, is only possible to exceed these limits when we split the logical framework that governs our understanding and usually we get into this abyss wonderful that is art. That is why artists like MC Escher Oscar Reutersvärd or have devoted largely to such compositions. The first, known as "the father of impossible figures", was a pioneer in creations like the one pictured above, with some of the most famous triangle or Penrose stairs, while the second took the impossible geometry to create scenes and worlds to match those of the strangest dreams. Latter are the work of the famous lithograph of stairs weightless ( Relativity ) or hands that draw each other ( Drawing Hands). It is also worth mentioning Jacques Carelman, teacher impossible objects, with inventions such as the well-known for masochists coffee or folding travel anvil.

Around this we were asked in class that we would make an exercise of imagination and we tried to create an impossible object us too, and after many ideas and examples I found my impossible object: a chair double backup ... of course with armrests to ensure the comfort of those who feel. Before this monstrosity of a chair, it occurred to me trying to play with a clock, with a cabinet drawers full of twisted, a violin and finally with a chair, but my initial idea was that instead of a padded seat had a conveyor belt (for those who suffer from anxiety traseril), but to be effective in its ineffectiveness was necessary to introduce a machine perpetual motion, which is, today, impossible.
