A
so-called Escherian stairwell designed by a Filipino architect named
Rafael Nelson Aboganda and located in Rochester Institute of Technology
in New York has been featured on a viral Youtube video.
The said staircase is said to violate the laws of physics and basic logic by looping back into itself.
The clip shows some students, who step on the stairs for the first
time, brought to amazement after finding out that it is indeed a
never-ending staircase.
But no, the video is just a hoax and there is no Escherian stairwell that exists in RIT nor elsewhere in the world.
Everything is part of a project by film and animation graduate student
Michael Lacanilao. "The Stairwell Project" aims to create a modern myth
regarding the existence of such "magic staircase" in the school.
Check out the said video of "stairwell illusion" below:
***NOTE: I understand that what I am quoting is Biblical scripture, but I do not wish for the discussion to turn into a religious one. That being said….
“…each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.” How much truth do you think this passage holds up in modern times? Focusing on this alone, one could assume that in a relationship, it is more important that the husband be respected and the wife be loved than the other way around. I understand that you do need both, but do you feel that one really means more to the opposite sex than the other? Do you think that telling the husband “I love you but don’t respect you” would have the same impact as telling the wife “I respect you but I do not love you”? Discuss and Share your thoughts.
