You mean it wasn't spaceships and tractor beams. Gutted.

mighty clever.

'Fraid not mate.

But perhaps the guy in the video went back in time and showed them all how to do it?? There's a new consispiracy theory for you.

Don't you mean forward in time?

You can see the past but not the future. So the past must be in front of you and the future behind you.

Erm, so how does he get the 1st stone, or 1st plank of wood underneath the block? When I see him do that with not mechanical help then I might belive thats how they did it

Dig a small enough gap underneath so you can then lever the block an inch or two into the air.

And how big a lever would you need to lift a 20tone block of concrete?

Fuggles · 7th June 2007, 12:04 PM

Blimey they had concrete back in the dark ages?

Depends on the weight you can put on the other end. I'm sure some of the engineers on here could tell us.

Engineers..... imagine you have a 20 ton block and wish to lever it with an 80kg human being. How long would the lever have to be?

and how heavy would this lever be

Marky_GTSt · 7th June 2007, 04:11 PM

You dont need to lift the whole block, just do one side at a time... and you can hang weights on the lever so you dont have to use body weight, this way you can do it alone...

Daz · 7th June 2007, 04:14 PM

It's only 18" high anyway ..... according to Spinal Tap
