Yeah. Doesn't explain things entirely. How are rocks moving in opposite directions of each other? I think there has to be some unknown magnetic force at work.
the diff with these rocks is that the deth vall rocks leav mud trails .u do it on ice and the it melts away i guess depending on just the icy conditions giving the "goldy locks zone and the right winds then maybe..but like i said when ice melts it leave no trails.
@Baads11 You're assuming that they'll always move together at the same time. That's a lot of assumption. Probably better to assume that it's not the mud and wind and instead believe it's some really bizarre paranormal explanation...
I think it's a combination of ice and mud. Sometimes, shallow lakes freeze around rocks and the ice around the top of the rock is blown around, this would explain why multiple rocks take the same, abruptly changing paths while leaving other, shorter rocks unmoved.
Then at other times the simple combination of mud + wind can move rocks on their own. With the combination of these two different phenomena, it makes sense that its damn hard to explain just by studying the rock movement.
@khangsector Because you're an expert on whether or not the ground in the valley gets wet like that? There are times when there's actually standing water in this area, so yes it gets wet.
A typical academic response to a not so simple phenomena. Please explain how a low profile flat rock the size of a tea saucer moves with a similar trail as a 300lb. rock when such a powerful wind would blow it away like a leaf, how several trails take abrupt but identical turns, and how there are so few rocks on the lake bed for this geologic (timescale) event.
Eureka she sayes...what you did in your wind tunnel, was to make the rocks "slide" at all cost, what was your wind speed? how was the ice UNDER the mud when in the original you can clearly see the desert texture slightly flattened after the rock pass? Your rocks,even though in a very controlled environment were moving in a jerky wobbly motion on a very brink of tumbling, leaving grooves of uneven depth, with irregular and messy edges. And that's without getting any deeper into the phenomenon
They move when Chuck Norris gives them a hard look.

wind does not explain why 2 adjacent rocks could move in the exact opposite directions.

ok. but and the cases that 2 rocks go in 2 diferent ways?? If the wind blow from south they all should move to north.

well as seen in the trails behind we can tell there was enough resistance for the rock to slide that easily...

i don't think the ground in the valley would be wet like that...why don't they put a camera next to a typical rock and find out...

Baad scientist. Try moving a 700 pound rock with your industrial fan and then tell me those conditions exist in the playa.

And those rocks were really small compared to some of those found on the death valley which sometimes weight even more then a human body.
Seriously, this experiment is silly, can be done by anyone at home and it does not prove anything.
