In the West Indies, there is an uninhabited island, this island and the surface of other islands looks no different. But the strange thing is that this uninhabited island will rotate by itself, rotating one week every 24 hours regularly. Why does the island rotate on its own? There is no reasonable explanation for the mystery of the rotating island, and the mystery of the rotating island will probably become a mystery forever.

Rotating 24 hours a week

Everyone has heard of the Earth spinning, but have you heard of islands spinning? I have to believe that this happened in the West Indies. Here there is a small uninhabited island, the island will not only rotate on its own, and the speed of rotation is very fast. The island rotates every 24 hours, and every day it rotates in the same direction, without any reversal. Why does the island rotate on its own? The mystery of the spinning island is puzzling.

The mystery of this magical spinning island was discovered in 1964 when a cargo ship named "Sense" passed through the area, and the captain saw that the island had lush vegetation and mud pools and swamps everywhere, so he led the crew to the island to look for any exotic flowers, exotic animals and other treasures.

The island is very small, and people patrolled, did not find what they want, the captain then intended to lead the crew to leave the place, before boarding the ship, the captain carved his name on a tree, as well as the name of his ship and the time he boarded the island.

Back on board, just as we were about to set sail, a crew member suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't this the place where we just got off the ship, why is the ship that dropped anchor moving by itself?" At this crew member's reminder, the captain and other members of the crew were surprised to find out that this was indeed the case, and that this was not exactly where they had disembarked from the ship, which was tens of meters away from where they had first stopped. The mystery of the rotating island made the crew feel scary and incredible at the same time.

They checked all the equipment but found nothing. The iron anchor was very firmly hooked to the bottom of the sea, not like a man-made thing, so the only possibility was that the island itself was moving. This discovery shocked them, and continued to observe more surprised the captain and crew, the island was rotating rapidly, and soon, the captain found that the trees he had just carved were getting farther and farther away from him.

This unexpected discovery made the unnamed island become worldwide attention, people the phenomenon of island rotation half believe, so someone personally on the island observe, the conclusion that the island is really in its rotation, and the speed of the island can be felt by the people on the island.

Why would such an isolated island rotate by itself? Some people explain that this island is an iceberg, it floats on the sea, with the rise and fall of the waves and runs, but this speculation was soon overturned because many other icebergs are floating in the sea, and those icebergs can not rotate by themselves, and this island so regular rotation, like the Earth every 24 hours to rotate a week, this point is puzzling. To this day, the mystery of the rotating island, people still can not explain.
