What Scientists Can't Explain About The Australian Bouncing Stones

On a remote beach in the Daintree, throwing one stone at another produces something that should not happen anywhere on Earth. The stone bounces back like rubber instead of stopping dead. People have been filming it, arguing about it, and stealing the evidence for decades. A 1984 geological study finally explained exactly why, and the stones have developed a reputation for punishing anyone who takes them home, with people mailing rocks back from overseas to undo their bad luck. This is the real science, and the real culture, behind one of Queensland's strangest coastal phenomena.
