The viral social media posts depict a person holding a shiny rock that appears to produce electricity and illuminates a small light connected to it by wires.

Experts said it’s unclear exactly how the light in the video is being powered, but all agreed rocks alone can’t hold a charge.

Yaoguo Li, a professor of geophysics at the Colorado School of Mines, said of the notion to the AP that rocks can store electricity: “We don’t know of any mechanism, thus far, that supports that kind of phenomenon.”

Naturally-occurring rocks typically lack all the necessary components of batteries, such as both positive and negative electrodes, said Yuzhang Li, an assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles, who spoke to the Associated Press(AFP).

“I don’t think there’s any new physics being discovered here, and I would doubt that the rock alone is generating some kind of voltage.”, said Li to the AP.

If such groundbreaking discoveries had happened, the international media and science forums would have been filled with news like those.
