The Penrose triangle, also known as the Penrose tribar, the impossible tribar,[1] or the impossible triangle,[2] is a triangular impossible object, an optical illusion consisting of an object which can be depicted in a perspective drawing, but cannot exist as a solid object. It was first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934.[3] Independently from Reutersvärd, the triangle was devised and popularized in the 1950s by psychiatrist Lionel Penrose and his son, prominent Nobel Prize-winning mathematician Sir Roger Penrose, who described it as "impossibility in its purest form".[4] It is featured prominently in the works of artist M. C. Escher, whose earlier depictions of impossible objects partly inspired it.
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.
M.C. Escher's lithograph Waterfall (1961) depicts a watercourse that flows in a zigzag along the long sides of two elongated Penrose triangles, so that it ends up two stories higher than it began. The resulting waterfall, forming the short sides of both triangles, drives a water wheel. Escher points out that in order to keep the wheel turning, some water must occasionally be added to compensate for evaporation.
The impossible trinity (also known as the impossible trilemma or the Unholy Trinity) is a concept in international economics and international political economy which states that it is impossible to have all three of the following at the same time:
According to the impossible trinity, a central bank can only pursue two of the above-mentioned three policies simultaneously. To see why, consider this example (which abstracts from risk but this is not essential to the basic point):
The formal model underlying the hypothesis is the uncovered Interest Rate Parity condition which states that in absence of a risk premium, arbitrage will ensure that the depreciation or appreciation of a country's currency vis-à-vis another will be equal to the nominal interest rate differential between them. Since under a peg, i.e. a fixed exchange rate, short of devaluation or abandonment of the fixed rate, the model implies that the two countries' nominal interest rates will be equalized. An example of which was the consequential devaluation of the Peso, that was pegged to the US dollar at 0.08, eventually depreciating by 46%.[citation needed]This in turn implies that the country implementing the peg has no ability to set its nominal interest rate independently, and hence no independent monetary policy. The only way then that the country could have both a fixed exchange rate and an independent monetary policy is if it can prevent arbitrage in the foreign exchange rate market from taking place - by instituting capital controls on international transactions.
In the modern world, given the growth of trade in goods and services and the fast pace of financial innovation, it is possible that capital controls can often be evaded. In addition, capital controls introduce numerous distortions. Hence, there are few important countries with an effective system of capital controls, though by early 2010, there has been a movement among economists, policy makers and the International Monetary Fund back in favour of limited use.[9][10][11]Lacking effective control on the free movement of capital, the impossible trinity asserts that a country has to choose between reducing currency volatility and running a stabilising monetary policy: it cannot do both. As stated by Paul Krugman in 1999:[12]
Every major pandemic has forcefully changed the direction of human history. It is the preference of nations and people to balance bioethics with the needs of the economy, society, politics, and so on, but without a way to simultaneously obtain these objectives in all areas, the balance of bioethics with other social demands needs to be weighed and balanced based on the most human basic ethics and morality. In more direct terms, it is difficult to balance the three sides of an impossible triangle: health protection, social consensus, and economic development.

Although it is actually impossible to make the triangle as a solid object, you can get pretty close with your 3D printer. Of course it remains an optical illusion, but I still find it fascinating to look at it.
Drawing the object to print is the most work. Yet it only took me half an hour to do this. First I calculated an L shape with the same length on both sides. Then I drew an axis up on one of the corners. Then I rotated the image until I found the triangle shape. I then connected the axis up to the other end of the L shape. Finally I drew a protrusion on the axis upwards that falls exactly in front of the inside of the L shape. When the drawing is almost finished it becomes quite difficult to see it properly. Then you see a 3d object, then an impossible triangle and so on ...
L.S. Penrose and his son Roger (after whom the Penrose tile is named) created the impossible triangle optical illusion. Obviously, you can't actually create an impossible triangle, but you can create a model that appears to be impossible if viewed from a specific angle.

This is a fast project, that I made just to see if I can model something like this.
This render was created mostly in Blender 2.8 - I added the galaxy later in Photoshop.
To do this I simply created a mask.

The key point to an optical illusion is that it is an "optical illusion" and you usually can't model them accurately. You should create a model that looks right from the camera, but may not look right as you rotate around the model.
The work of M.C. Escher needs no introduction. We have all learned to appreciate the impossibilities that this master of illusion's artwork presents to the layman's eye. Nevertheless, it may come as a surprise for some, but many of the so-called 'impossible' drawings of M. C. Escher can be realized as actual physical objects. These objects will resemble the Escher's drawing, of the same name, from a certain viewing direction. This work below presents some of these three-dimensional models that were designed and built using geometric modeling and computer graphics tools.
In the following sequences, figures are frequently presented in pairs. One figure in each pair is the front view-Escher's drawing's direction, whereas the other figure gives a general view. Whenever a real, tangible, model has been created, it will be presented as a second pair, next to the computer rendered images. The objects were physically realized with the aid of layered manufacturing systems: a Z402 3D Printer from Zcorporation and a Stratasys FDM3000 printing machine.

We start with the Penrose triangle object (also independently invented by Oscar Reutersvard). There are several ways to build a real geometry that will look like the Penrose triangle from a certain viewing direction. This specific shape is reconstructed as a C^0 continuous sweep surface with a square cross section that rotates as we move along the edges. As will be shown below, the Penrose triangle plays a majosr role in M.C. Escher's drawings. An STL geometry file, for those of you with layered manufacturing devices, of this model, is available here .
The impossible shape conveyed by the Penrose triangle is the most well-known one. However, one can, with similar ease and with the aid of a geometric modeling system, construct more complex natural extensions to the Penrose triangle. Herein a Penrose rectangle is presented.
Here we present another way to simulate and realize geometry that looks like the Penrose triangle from a certain view. Here is an avi movie that shows this model rotated. An STL geometry file, for those of you with layered manufacturing devices, of this model, is available here .
Here is our realizable variant of Escher's/Necker's Cube. If you will look carefully enough, you will find this cube in Escher's original Belvedere drawing. And here is an avi movie that shows this model rotated.
Here is our physical realization of Escher's Waterfall. You can also watch this object rotating in space in this avi movie. This realization stems from using three joint Penrose triangles along the water stream. Note also the way the house is warped so as to look natural from this viewing direction (only).
To better understand this, examine the pictures on the right. The rightmost image shows the Penrose triangle only, from above; the leftmost image shows the original Waterfall scene; and the middle image is a blend of the two. In fact, the original Waterfall model presents three different and connected such triangles. Also interesting in this image is the house. When we examine the original Waterfall drawing, we see that the house ends up behind the middle corner of the water path. In order to accomplish this in our constructed image, the house's geometry is warped so as to look straight only from the proper viewing direction. The house, as well as the S shaped rods that look vertical from the original viewing direction, were modeled as generalized sweeps by the geometric modeler.
