Zicoflex To explain "floating
stones" miracle,
I start from the
scientific fact that if
air is trapped within
silica it would look like
a stone but would be
very light and
float.Another example
is Ice.When put into
liquid, ice floats on liquid
& after some time it
sinks.Another example
is of “ Pumice” stone .
Pumice is the hardened
foam of lava when it
comes out of a volcano.
The inside of a volcano
has very high
pressure, and can be
as hot as 1600oC.
When the lava comes
out of the volcano, it
meets the cool air or
sea water.
Then air and water that
were mixed in the lava
bubble out. Due to
temperature
differences it freezes
and so bubbles trapped
inside them.Hence
weight is reduced so it
floats.
Dense stones do not
float on water. But
because pumice is full
of air bubbles, it is less
dense than water. So in
the beginning it will
float. But in time, water
will enter the bubbles
driving out the air.
Slowly, the pumice
sinks.This also explains
why the Ram Setu is
under water today.
Pumice doesn’t float
forever.
If you visit a volcanic
island (like Barren
Island in the Andamans,
or Anak Krakatau in
Indonesia), you can see
several acres of
pumice around the
shore.
Due to Tsunami in
2004 ,these stones
washed towards shore
and people begin to see
floating stones
miracle.
