Sailing Stones?
OP - August 26, 2010, 10:32 AM

The sailing stones, also known as sliding rocks and moving rocks, are a geological phenomenon where rocks move in long tracks along a smooth valley floor without human or animal intervention. They have been recorded and studied in a number of places around Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, where the number and length of travel grooves are notable. The force behind their movement is not understood and is the subject of research.

It's a miracle! Proof of God!

...until we work out how it really works.

I don't come here any more due to unfair moderation.

How about it sliding on the sand, when the wind blows on it (I guess each particle of sand behaves like a ball, making it a more frictionless surface when the wind blows on it?)

Either than, or an army of King Solomons ants shifted it.

Or maybe the blocks have magnetic qualities and some magma movement drags them along, note not being very serious here.

That would explain why its moved, because Moses gave it a good beating

Quote
Sahih Bukhari Vol 1:5:277: The Prophet said, The (people of) Bani Israel used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each other. The Prophet Moses used to take a bath alone. They said, By Allah! Nothing prevents Moses from taking a bath with us except that he had a scrotal hernia.
So once Moses went out to take a bath and put his clothes over a stone and then that stone ran away with his clothes. Moses followed that stone saying, My clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone! till the people of Bani Israel saw him and said, By Allah, Moses has got no defect in his body. Moses took his clothes and began to beat the stone.
