Impossible object
An impossible object (also known as an 'impossible figure' or an 'undecidable figure') is a type of optical illusion consisting of a two dimensional figure which is instantly and subconsciously interpreted by the visual system as representing a projection of a three dimensional object although it is not actually possible for that object to exist (at least not in the form interpreted by the visual system).
