Q: (L) How did they move the stones and set them up?
A: Sound wave focusing; try it yourself; coral castle.
Came across this on Twitter today and thought I would share:

This is induction levitation using pancake coils, and an aluminum plate with fake rocks… Complete with sound effects from the movie oblivion.
I think it's theoretically possible to levitate large objects using powerful low-frequency standing waves. Here are a few techniques Acoustic levitation - Wikipedia but most of them are demonstrations for light and small objects using high frequency sounds.
Maybe focused puns are the key to anti-gravity!I don't think we know everything about sound to make... sound predictions about highly focused sound waves.
@Cosmos Well, that's what made me curious... Normally, these things would be rather dangerous, yet the C's seemed to be saying go ahead and try it. Well, that could have been because of wonky energies at that session, or whatever...
But more and more, I'm thinking that as the world falls apart, we will start to see "wondrous things". Like maybe technologies emerging in addition to everyone freezing, exploding, melting, being blown away, and other exciting possibilities...
For example, the Russian missiles with "neat antigravity effect". Who knows??
I started looking at this, and one experiment showed that phonons ("sound particles") have a teeny-tiny mass that moves against gravity.
But the rest of what's out there is levitating tiny styrofoam balls between 2 speakers (or a speaker + reflector) or levitating a large styrofoam ball on 3 speakers below it (like a sound tripod).
Absolutely nothing on levitating large stone blocks (or anything else), except the story of a Swedish dude who supposedly visited Tibetan monks and watch them use horns and huge drums to levitate a giant rock onto the top of a mountain.
