Turning Stones

A game with the mass of a stone.

Our sense of space and time is characteristic by our own body mass and its speed of movement. The bring the significantly larger mass of the rotating stone into motion requires either much more time or strength as is required to move our selves.

There are two possibilities for bringing the large mass of the rotation stone into motion: Firstly, it can be achieved by means of extreme effort over a short time. The second possibility however is amazing: even when exercising a small force, it is possible to bring the massive stone block into a rotating movement which becomes faster and faster, provided that one continues pushing the stone long enough. This is even achieved merely by using one´s small finger.
