Buried mineral gains such as quartz absorb and store energy from natural background radiation. The longer the grain is buried, the more the stored energy. When a buried grain is exposed to light, this energy is released as light; when the grain is reburied, the energy again begins to accumulate. hhhmmmmm......you have made up with Cropedy!!!!

Try reading the article in BA before you make up your mind, there's an even more interesting one about "The Henge that went Straight in South Yorks..

Ehmm... not quite :-) Sebastian Payne (author of the above paper) and Cropredy are 'worlds' apart. Mmm... dunno though, perhaps there is a metaphysical link between the two. To quote the oft-quoted -

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.


Or to take a more jaded view, "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." ;-)
