Tragom senzacionalističke vesti da se na planini Radan, na jugu Srbije, pojavila "gravitaciona anomalija", ekipa "Vremena" i Društva za promociju i popularizaciju nauke obišla je lokaciju na asfaltnom putu u selu Ivanje gde se ugašeni automobili kreću "uzbrdo". Nekoliko jednostavnih fizičkih testova i merenja visine i nagiba terena GPS-om, pokazali su da nema nikakve gravitacione anomalije, već da je tu reč o nečem drugom, malo težem

When seen from a higher position, the farther slope appears to be an ascent though it is a descent.



The slope around which the car is located appears to be an ascent.
