What is Penrose Triangle? AKA Impossible Triangle

    Share This

    Answer to What is Penrose Triangle in short is, It is an art but impossible to exists! It is impossible for the Impossible Triangle to exist because in order for it to exist rules of Euclidean geometry would have to be violated.

    What is Penrose Triangle?

    The tribar/triangle appears to be a solid object, made of three straight beams of square cross-section which meet pairwise at right angles at the vertices of the triangle they form. The beams may be broken, forming cubes or cuboids.

    This combination of properties cannot be realized by any three-dimensional object in ordinary Euclidean space. Such an object can exist in certain Euclidean 3-manifolds, and can also exist in 5-dimensional Euclidean space, which is the lowest-dimensional Euclidean space within which the Penrose triangle can be embedded.

    Well, It’s not possible with straight lines but sky’s the limit!

    It was first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934. Independently from Reutersvärd, the triangle was devised and popularized in the 1950s by psychiatrist Lionel Penrose and his son, the mathematician and Nobel Prize laureate Roger Penrose, who described it as “impossibility in its purest form”.
