Impossible Objects 

Hey, it's been awhile.

Imagine falling down those stairs

The music that jake chooses for his videos is brilliant

That time when vsauce3 is more vsauce than vsauce.

Vsauce: math, learning, just all around chaotic energy Vsauce2: Vsauce 3: production value and interesting things

Jake, I absolutely love the nostalgic 80s graphics and music in your videos.

Why did you guys stop? You were the best on youtube. Seriously the best.

0:19 This Music is just INCREDIBLE

Did all the Vsauce hosts take a training course to talk with the same inflection?

We just need a video from Michael on Vsauce now to complete the trinity. You guys always manage to convey your content in ways nobody else does. I love it.

Jake: I decided to 3D print some impossible objects Physics: Dude, thats my 3D printer

What has happened to Vsauce1, 2, and 3? is it all just DONG now, or Vsauce on premium youtube? Really miss checking in and watching these videos....

I saw "A Jake Roper Picture" and paused to make popcorn before coming back

From a cinematography and editing perspective your videos are incredible! Seriously keep it up Jake and everyone on the Vsauce3 team! 👍👍

Vsauce 3 in a nutshell: *delivers reality shattering realization that makes you question your very being and consciousness* "And as always, thanks for watching"

👀

That outro was awesome, Jake. Truly creative

Quality > quantity. I like you jake roper.

Gru is the most powerful being in the universe, and here’s why: according to the height of a Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4 minions tall, which means he is a godly size of 14 feet tall. Second if any of you remember the original Despicable Me, you Know there is a scene when Vector kidnaps the three girls and shoots a series of heat-seeking misses at Gru, he then dodge them all. According to the speed of an average ballistic missile (1900 mph) and the size of the missile according to his ankle size, Gru can perceive and move at such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5 miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed. Plus after this Gru punches a shark and it is paralyzed meaning its spine is probably shattered, to remind you it would require a force greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture the spine. That’s equal to the impact created by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30 miles per hour. I rest my case. Edit:didn’t steal it from SLAZO I stole it from a copy pasta but I do watch SLAZO

I pride myself on being able to draw Penrose polygons and the impossible cube from memory

Jake are you sure you aren’t a god? These videos are better quality than a lot of tv shows now

can I say that the visuals and soundtrack are absolutely on point??

10:28 GENERAL KENOBI

This is deep and one of the best videos I've seen on RU-vid.

Awesome Jake. Here's hoping you make a Use Your Illusion II

I always love the synth music in your videos, I wish you credited it just so we could find it

Some of these short movies should be nominated for an oscar

These objects will appear on facebook's stolen videos with a different music lol

I thought it's a The Verge video :o

This video is impossibly good.

My grandparents have a few of Esher's paintings in their house and I remember way back when I was little, just staring at those pictures, trying to comprehend them

So glad you mentioned the great MC Escher, the king (imo) of these type drawings.

I was learning something from a *ILLUSION???* *HOW CAN I KNOW IF IT IS REAL INFORMATION???*

I love how artistic your videos are compared to the other VSauce channels. Thank you for making science so fun!

OMG this channel is perfect. I wish Vsauce3 had at LEAST half of the subscribers Vsauce had.

Who else gets nostalgia from 80s graphics and music yet was born after the 80s.

That ending wins my award for the best ending (the bit before skillshare)

YES

Jake: So i decided to 3D print some Universe: WAIT THAT'S ILLIGAL

this channel is massively underrated

7:03 OH HI MARK

Vsauce: Here's Another Video Me: 👽➡👾

Now all we need is for vsauce 1 to upload

I paused the video with the screen on the four circles with parts of the blue and messed around with it. I really enjoyed how if I used my arms to conceal 3 of the 4 circles on the screen, all I saw was a circle with circles in it that is partly blue. The minute I removed my arms from the screen, I started to see a blue square. The white space in between the circles appeared blue when I wasn't focusing on it. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get my mind to stop seeing it that way. If I focused hard enough comparing the white space between the color blue next to it, I could spot the difference and see that it was really white, but the minute I stopped focusing on it, I saw blue. I honestly had a lot of fun. Thank you, jake from Vsauce.

*I think my brain just threw up.*

I always love your closes. You said thanks for watching and I nearly left from habit cause other vids but then i remembered you do that and I was not disappointed.

This has been one of my most favorite videos posted on this channel since I’ve been subscribed and I don’t know how many years that’s been. Great job Jake!!

The end blew my mind...

*Antichamber* and the upcoming *Manifold Garden* are two video games inspired by M.C. Echer's work. Check them out.

I’ve missed these videos! It’s the perfect thing to watch for a study break. So relaxing and yet very entertaining.

This channel has the best production value of any youtube channel. 1000% awesome.

It's the paradox week in the office

I’ve seen all these impossible objects before but the way you presented them gave the shapes a whole new light, great video 👍

7:00 I couldnt figure out why that frame was wrong. The engineer in me wondered how you could be sitting on such a skinny box. But the papers on the ground convinced me the scene was real. Great job.

You have some of the best videos on RU-vid, always enjoy watching them.

Monument valley is an amazing game Everyone should play it.

Absolutely amazing, thanks man

Jake, I feel that your channel provides videos that allow people to think in a deeper way. The video quality and information is always a treat. Waiting for the next video is worth it. I appreciate what you and Vsauce as a whole does. Thank you.

"Things are what they are, because they are. Or are they?" ~ VSauce summed up in two sentences.

FINALLY! JAKE IS ALIVE!

OMG THAT ENDING WAS INCREDIBLE

This and your paradox video is my favorite video. Love this channel!

6:35 is a low blow because the “smaller squares” are sharing the same order as the larger rectangle which actually implies that one object is below the other. Otherwise the border between the smaller squares and the larger rectangle would be thicker to imply two borders touching.

6:39 Considering you lead the question that there are two shapes, you exclude the possibility that there are more. Hence one should not expect to hear "one rectangle and two squares" because that sum is three.

Vsauce is too good to be true...plus there is a star of David in the middle of the cubes illusion at 9:03 at first I thought that's the illusion lol.

Jake. I love the content you're putting out lately. I will literally pause the video, walk into my living room and put it on the big screen. Keep up the good work.

All of Vsauce's content is fantastic, but Jake's productions are definitely my favorite. Really great job dude, it's always a blast to watch a new video by you.

This video is artistic, informative, gripping truly quality.

Woah the intro was so *CooOOoOoOl*

This is one of my favorite videos on the internet, Ive always been amazed by optical illusions.

Give ya credit. You explain things in a simple understandable way. Mad Props.

6:59 That is clever!

That triangle cube structure formed a Star of David

6:50 his voice sounds a bit weird. Probably because he’s trying to talk while lying on a hard floor.

Hey man, are you ok¿ we miss you

10:10 Okay, now you're just showing off.

REALITY IS AN ILLUSION, THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM, BUY GOLD! BYEEE!

I love your videos, Jake

if silence were loudness all three vsauce channels would be the loudest thing on youtube. where did you all go?

Great after waiting for over 4 months for a new video i am kinda done with looking for new videos. Shame that these really good youtubers just seem to stop and do other stuff.

I wonder if impossible shapes could be included in video games. Of course, tricks would be necessary in order to make the impossible shapes interactive, that is, they'd have to change shape in order to continue looking like the same impossible shape with the same impossibilities, regardless of what angle you look at it from. So then, to create sameness from different angles, you'd have to make it different from different angles. You'd also have to make use of false space, wherein moving from one position to another would put your avatar/character somewhere they shouldn't be, all to maintain the illusion of the impossible shape. This would also have to apply to projectiles and, somehow, hit-scan, if said impossible shape is put into a first person shooter. Now, with the staircase, gravity would remain consistent, which should make it somewhat easier, but with the triangle, wherein common depictions of it with a character would have the character running along it and change their direction of gravity when they run off the shorter edges, that might be a bit more complex. tl;dr: Put these shapes into custom Team Fortress 2 maps.

As someone who only sees out of one eye, impossible shapes and clever lighting always throw me for a loop. I'll also admit that if I stare at them long enough, I end up with a headache as my poor underutilized visual cortex melts.

What a fantastic episode. Thanks as always for making them!

Omg vsauce3 posted yes!

*that plottwist at the end :o*

If nothing else, I really enjoy letting my mind work as it gets blown every time Vsauce makes a video

"Hey Jake" *Keeps walking like nothing because this is the normal for Jake*

"Oh hey Eric." is Vsauce's take on "Oh hi Mark."

COOLEST INTRO EVER

This vsauce definitely has the highest production value.

One of the best channels in YT ) And Jake is also amazing

Video Idea: if inklings from the video game Splatoon would be able to inhabit Earth.

So awsome, best vid of this year so far !

Love the eighties style opening. Love your style man keep it up.

Your editing is so good like the end the bulging out illusion nice!

That ending tho 😱

That ending was amazing. And, as always, thanks for the video!

God I love your videos. They are so well done, and you’ve got a very distinct style that I just love. The way you set up some videos is so interesting, and I love how you incorporate the topic into the scenarios you create, and how you basically tell a story based on the information you’re talking about

Micheal Makes Us Think, Jake blows our mind, Kevin... is there.
