The world's only "rotatable" island: the rotation cycle of 24 hours a week

There is a very amazing island where there is no beauty and no wonder. Its peculiarity is that this island can rotate by itself, its rotation cycle is 24 hours a week, do you know where it is? Oct 07, 2024

The world's only "rotating" island

This island is located in the West Indies, there is no definite name, because this island is different from other islands, there is no beauty, there is no wonder, the area is also very small, so do not know what to name, but because the island is constantly rotating, so it is customary to call it a rotating island. The whole island is not very large, in the island is littered with swamps, a piece of it, if you just look at these words there is no peculiarities.

 

Autobiographical Phenomenon

It is said that the rotating island and the earth we live on, rotate at the same speed, and the rotation period is 24 hours a week. I also wonder if there is some kind of special connection. Rotating island is like a huge turntable, may board the island if you do not look closely, at first can not feel the island is rotating. I wonder if I will get dizzy if I stay on the island for a long time?

 

How it was discovered


The strange phenomenon of a rotating island turning on its own was discovered by chance when a cargo ship called the Senje passed by the island and drove around it in about half an hour. Then the ship dropped anchor and docked, and the crew did not find any rare animals or strange woods here, but when they were ready to leave, they found that the ship had deviated from its landing position by several dozen meters.

 

 

Speculation


The infamous Rotating Island has naturally attracted many scientists to the island, but there is no clear explanation for the phenomenon of the island's rotation. One of the claims is that the spinning island is an iceberg, floating on the surface of the sea, it will rotate with the tide. However, this claim was quickly disproved. In particular, the rotation of the island and the Earth's rotation of the same regular cycle, more incomprehensible.

At present, there is still no accurate explanation for the strange phenomenon of the rotating island. It may be necessary to wait until later with the continuous development of science and technology to be clear about this strange phenomenon.
