The 'spooky' slope makes the laws of physics completely overturned

On the slopes of Maoshan Mountain in Shenyang, China, there is a slope so strange that the usual laws of physics here are completely overturned.

On the slopes of Maoshan Mountain in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China, there is a strange slope. When the car goes uphill, there is no need to press the accelerator, but when going down, you must pedal hard. People used to call it the "spooky" slope.

Located about 30 km south of the city center, the slopes are surrounded by dense forests and mountains. This ramp is just over a kilometer from National Highway 102 and runs through the Jingha Expressway. Therefore, the traffic here is very convenient.

It is a slope about 80m long, about 15m wide and quite flat. High slope to the west, gradually to the east. Since April 1990, people have discovered strange things when walking on this slope. That is, vehicles going uphill are very gentle, even riding a bicycle without pedaling is still running, but going downhill is quite difficult. Even the car with the engine off can still automatically slide from the bottom of the slope to the top.

According to local people, in 1990, a traffic policeman drove a Zip car down the road into the mountain to go downhill. But after turning off the engine, this policeman felt the car automatically slide slowly to the top of the slope. Surprised, he gave the car a test drive a few times and the results were the same each time.

Since then, the identity of the "spooky" slope in Shenyang has spread far and wide, attracting tourists flocking to admire the rare sight.

Its popularity even attracts experts. Many scientists and researchers have come here to learn, but so far, no explanation for this mysterious phenomenon has been officially recognized.

 Going downhill requires a bicycle, and uphill is very easy.

One of the possible explanations is due to the effect of the magnetic field. Some people think that the magnetic field of the steep range is strong, so it can easily attract vehicles. But so far, there has been no detection of iron-like matter with a clear magnetic field effect in this area. Therefore, this explanation is not convincing.

Another explanation is due to human visual aberration. Because the western slope of Mao Son mountain has low terrain in the east and west, the slope is the opposite - low in the east and high in the west. Due to the different visual reference objects, the sense of difference is caused. The phenomenon of sleds sliding from the bottom of the slope to the top of the slope makes people feel like they are going uphill, but actually going downhill.

For decades, the "spooky" slope is still there and nothing has changed. Despite all the rumors, its charm has not been reduced so far, making this place a destination for research and sightseeing.
