HAHA!! FIRST COMMENT LOSERS!!

nice animated one, though i think i saw a black/white one by Escher... anyways, great site!

(i think i just might have the first comment...)

All of you trying to be the first comment ARE LOOSERS!

Ascending?! The dang thing is De-scending!

Yes I agree it is descending not ascending. oops! Yeah grow up first comment.

i don't get it...can someone explain what the heck is the point???

hey 3rd comment, i agree but dude, LOOSER;/ WTF are you trying to spell? it is spelled like LOSER. i agree with what you say but du!! 1st comment, stick it! you did not even send a comment! dudes who ever thinks that first comment is LOL FAH, tell me! and the illusion is freakin awesome!!

YEAAAAAAAAAA U R JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE U DIDN'T GET THE FIRST COMMENT.

I agree that it's descending, but I don't see that the moving object is a ball. It looks more like a little octopus to me. :) Anyway, a very cool spin on Escher's illusion. I love Esher's work.

Anonymous (first, third, and eighth comments) just shut up. No one cares, and you're only making yourself sound like an idiot. Vurdlak, if I were you, I'd be a little ashamed to have comments like those on an otherwise amazing site.

I love this site. You didnt leave a comment retard.

Ya that is kinda getting annoying with the whole "first comment" thing are ya'll in the first grade sireously!

Cool animation though

AWSOME WEBSITE ( i told my friend about it and she agree's)

yeh i also think its descending, but still REALLY KL ILLUSION! but i agree with Rachel - the 'ball' doesnt look like a 'ball' at all it looks more like a mini jellyfish to me.
btw: 'First Comment Sucks' - u werent 3rd at all U WERE 7th!! IDIOT!!

Very Dizzy, but cool.

I always enjoy the impossible objects and scenarios. If you looks really closely it does look like a ball - a transparent ball so you can see the steps, making it look like an octopus or jellyfish.

That's the kind of thing i think everyone want's to see here...
Great!

Loosers....its an ascending ball...thats the illusion. Its decending on 3 steps...and then ascending on the last one!

woah... i've been staring at this for the las hour... i should go get a life... btw QUIT WITH THE FIRST COMMENT CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this one is even better

An illusion bade by computer..pretty awesome to see but it kinda loses the illusion status as computers can be made to show anything

i still cant c that its a ball!!! lol

That thing looks more like a jelly-fish to me.

yh i agree Anonymous - definitely a jellyfish! lol
kl illusion as i said agen.
arrghh im hungry. soz random!

I agree with comment 21, it looks like a running jelly-fish! Oh and will you all shut about the 1st comment!

It's a Jelly-fish not a ball!!

yep, tis a jelly-fish!!

I like it but i never understood how this one particularly works, can someone help me here?

i know how it works. it's quite simple actually. :]
the staircase in general IS descending.. but each stair individually is slightly angled upward, making it so that as you go "down the stairs", you end up pretty much staying on the same level all in all.

if you look hard enough, you can see the ascending angle in each of the stairs, and that even the sets of bricks around the stairs are angled. :]:]
btw. if yall have a myspace, add me.

these impossible staircases are starting to annoy me. they're everywhere!

The picture looks like it's both decending and accending at the same time. At the far right corner, it looks like its going up, but then it looked like it was going down. At first I thought it was going down
