I 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.
