Impossible motion: magnet-like slopes

These Magnet Like Slopes deliver what appears to be an impossible motion in this really cool optical illusion as the balls seem to defy gravity. This was the Winner of the Best Visual Illusion of the Year Contest 2010. Created by Koukichi Sugihara from the Meiji Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematical Sciences, Japan. This illusion is remarkable in that it is generated by a three-dimensional solid object and physical motion, instead of a two-dimensional picture.
