You have a remote controlled robot, but not a single photo of this cool, unknown object?
Please tell me I missed something on that site.
On another note, this is pretty cool:

especially the bit about frustrated magnets. I wonder if the creators of these had any concept of this phenomenon.

- fein 13y agoOf course i missed the giant red "view related gallery" button. Some days I think I shouldn't be a web developer.
- nollidge 13y agoI don't really get why they call them "spheres". Maybe there's some analysis they did to figure out that they used to actually be spherical, but why doesn't the article mention that?
- hnriot 13y ago"spheres" makes a few strewn rocks sound more supernatural or alien. The article talks of high powered people and rituals, but in all likelihood it was just something utterly mundane, like trying to make cheese.
- ars 13y agoThey don't look like spheres to me either. But I guess "robot finds rocks on the ground" doesn't have the same ring to it.
- psychometry 13y agoOne expects spheres to be roughly spherical. These are not.
- wlesieutre 13y agoThey're clay covered in pyrite, which oxidized into the uninteresting yellow coating. Calling them "rocks" is a bit inaccurate when they're man-made objects.
- codeulike 13y agoSo did the robot stick those little numbers on them too?
