New Scans Reveal Devils Tower is not What Geologists Always Claimed

#devilstower #wyoming #geology Devils Tower in Wyoming is moving. In October 2024, scientists carried a seismometer to the summit of America’s first national monument — and found the 867-foot rock sways about once every second, bending and twisting every second of every day. In this documentary: the four theories geologists have fought over since 1888 (and why none of them is proven), the 150-year war over its name — from a mistranslated word in 1875 to Senate Bill 31 in January 2025 — the climbing lawsuit that divided a sacred mountain, the viral claim that it’s a giant petrified tree stump (put on trial with real evidence), and the 2018 experiment that finally explained its impossible columns. Plus: why the tower is falling apart right now, what lightning writes on its fallen stones, and the Lakota legend the internet accidentally reinvented.
