The
Nine-Ton Gate at Coral Castle. Among the greatest technical acheivements
of Coral Castle is this enormously heavy gate that can be opened and
closed using only one finger. Ed accomplished this by finding the stone's
exact center of balance. How he did this remains a mystery, as even
the most advanaced electronic analysis equipment could not aid in balancing
the stone.
