Mystery of trembling artwork linked to war
People in a Norwegian town say a monument has
been mysteriously vibrating ever since the start of the Afghan
bombing.
Scientists are now investigating why one of
three giant arrows in the town of Hared Sunnmore trembles.
They say the phenomenon may be due to the electromagnetic
effects of cables or transmitters in the area.
Its sculptor Roger Wagland doesn't know what
to believe.
He said: "It's very peculiar. I don't understand
it all.
"The shaking has nothing to do with the
wind. Even in the middle of the night - with no traffic and
not even a breeze - the one arrowhead can start to tremble.
"Some claim the shaking started at the
moment the bombing in Afghanistan started."
Professor Carl Martin Larsen, of the University
of Science and Technology in Trondheim, told the Aftenposten
newspaper there is a reasonable explanation.
He says the arrow which vibrates is a different
length to the others which implies that whatever is affecting
it does so at a frequency which doesn't affect the other two.
