THE TRUTH BEHIND THE MYSTERIOUS MAGNETIC HILLS OF LADAKH.

 

Magnetic hills are present near the Leh region in Ladakh. The mysterious thing here is that when a car is left out of gear, it moves uphills against the gravity. In the early centuries, people used to believe that the car moves because there is a magnetic hill which attracts the car towards it. So it was given the name as magnetic hill.

But the mystery has been solved now by the scientists. It is a place which creates an optical illusion which makes a slight downhill road appearing as an uphill road. This is the reason why the car moves when its left out of gear. The car really moves downhills only and follows the law of gravity but because ot the optical illusion, it appears as the car is moving uphills and defies gravity. So there is no supernatural power but just an optical illusion.
