Cosmos
Just outside of Rapid City, the Cosmos is a fun destination to stop by if you would like to question what you know about physics. You won’t forget what you experience and you will leave scratching your head.
The Cosmos is a popular tourist’s destination in the Black Hills. Since 1952, people have been amazed from what they experience during the tour. The tour takes guests Inside a cabin where seems as if the rules of physics don’t exist and standing up straight is harder than it seems. Because of the Cosmos, people keep coming every year to get their own stories.
The Site
The cosmos is located off highway 16, between Rapid City and Keystone. Once you arrive, there are two cabins on site: an old looking cabin founded in 1952 that you wouldn’t think much of and another one replicated to get the same affects. The Cosmos seems to break all the laws of physics that we know, leaving people amazed of what they just witnessed. The term cosmos is originated from the Greek word kosmos meaning order, arrangement, the world or universe.
Here at the cosmos nothing seems to make sense, balls roll up hill, and nothing seems straight. On the tour there is a concrete slab raised from the ground. The slab is level but when two people stand on it, the shorter person will clearly be taller than the other. Also on the tour, tennis balls will roll up hill, water does not flow downward and, chairs can balance on two legs with no supports. Once you enter the cabin, people will be standing at an angle which is straight, but don’t even notice it. Trying to stand at what your mind thinks is straight is challenging because you will be standing what would actually be at an angle.
