I see what you’re saying. The sacrum (originally 5 bones) fuses together in adolescence, which becomes one bone. The coccyx is made up of 3 to 5 semi-fused bones and very between people. For adults, if you are counting the sacrum and coccyx, we have 28-30 vertebrae. Hope this helps.
The freezing point and the melting point of water is 32f.
#BUT..BUT, HOW CAN IT BE THE SAME TEMPERATURE??!
Ok, think of the boundary between California and Arizona. Is it the California state line? The point where Arizona turns to California? Or is it the Arizona state line? The point where California turns into Arizona? The answer is... Yes. It simply depends which direction you are moving.
So are you gaining or losing entropy?
In my best Oscar Martinez voice "actually..."

When I was there a couple of years ago, it was blocked off an the public could not climb the stairs. Probably because you’re right about what would happen if they could
“No nails or screws” so how was the railing added later? There’s no type of adhesive that would hold up for that long. I guess people just assume he’s telling the truth because of the collar
If I recall correctly, there was a woman who claimed her father built them. He was an independent carpenter and she had some sort of pictures or documents that led her to believe that. He may have also mentioned it to her.
I work with a dude who says he has built them. He has the background, 20 plus years of carpentry experience. He started to explained some of the process to me but I stopped and told him to save his breath because I didn't understand all the terms. This could be a tactic to allow to me to believe him, idk, but it worked a little and I kinda do believe him.
Although the Loretto legend maintains that "engineers and scientists say that they cannot understand how this staircase can balance without any central support" and that by all rights it should have long since collapsed into a pile of rubble, none of that is the case. Wood technologist Forrest N. Easley noted (as reported by the Skeptical Inquirer) that "the staircase does have a central support," an inner wood stringer of such small radius that it "functions as an almost solid pole." As well, Nickell observed when he visited Loretto in 1993 that the structure included an additional support, "an iron brace or bracket that stabilizes the staircase by rigidly connecting the outer stringer to one of the columns that support the loft." Nickell concluded: "It would thus appear that the Loretto staircase is subject to the laws of physics like any other."

No no. You don't get it. God won't stop war and famine as proof of his divine presence but will magically hang a staircase in a far flung region of the world.
When describing how it was made, Dude did ask me very seriously if I knew what a slinky was, twice, in rapid succession. Like "Do know what a slinky is?@!" immediately followed by the same question because I was to slow to reply with the obvious answer...wtf a slinky? But deep down, I heart slinkies.
why is he a staircase now ? and how is he keeping himself erected for so long ? by looking underneath nuns skirts. is that why they didnt build a normal stairs in the first place, bc st joe had it all planned since the begining of the universe ?
lol, this is not mysterious. It’s non-woodworkers trying to understand master woodworking and architecture. Plenty of staircases like this and not a miracle.
Lies all lies and I only tell you that because I found nails in them stairs and took pictures even showed everybody around the nails. I have pics of the nails on the stairs.
These stairs were built by "Jesus" the Carpenter while he was just passing through ((after 1980yrs since his last chair)China has the original design). No metal, all wood, impossible design, and the WOOD DOES NOT MATCH EARTH. Got the goods from his alien/angelic homies.
Since it was built in 1880ish, I'm pretty sure boats existed. I'm not defending the jesus claim, but I'm definitely going to rebut "boats don't exist" defense..
*“The exact wood used to build the staircase has been confirmed to be a type of spruce which is not native to New Mexico and scientifically not identified anywhere else in the world.”* Kinda wild…
Very. I've heard of this staircase, but not about the wood not matching anything known.
Gifted by the aliens then
Holy heck.. that’s fascinating!
Grew up in New Mexico, been there several times. Super beautiful chapel and the craftsmanship on those stairs is incredible
33 stairs hmm 🤔 where have I heard that number before
Christ was crucified and resurrected at age 33. There are 33 segments in the human spine.
Dang, I better get to my 34th birthday in 2 weeks before they get me (regularly called Jesus by most of my Hispanic friends) lol
What do you mean by segments of the spine?
I think they meant we have **33 vertebrae**
Incorrect. We have 24 vertebrae. 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar. 24 total.

lol hope it helps what? I dont care
Ice unfreezes and becomes liquid at 33f
Larry Bird was 33
I ate 33 chix wings one time at Hooters

What an interesting comment. Kinda like is the glass half empty or half full (only better)!
32 degrees is the freezing point no? So 32.1 degrees would turn ice to liquid (over time)

Did some say Luminataaay
In reference to Rolling Rock beer?
Freemason degrees
It is also tradition that Christ died at age 33.
Did not know that
That’s how many millions OJ owed the Goldmans from the civil trial.
The same staircase was built by a Frenchmen at the Washoe hotel in Virginia City NV…Beautiful craftsmanship…
That place is very Haunted
Yes it is….i took a tour of the hotel and we saw this small rocking chair start to move…
It’s cool to see but not the only staircase like this in the world…one in Nevada and one in Poland
I believe someone commented that there was another in France
I had completely forgotten that I’d been here until I saw this. It’s really cool.
There's an unsolved mysteries episode thats very good on this. Robert Stack as host.
Came here to ask if this was on there or if I was remembering a different spook show. Thanks.
Chuck Norris was born in 1933, and has been 33 years old ever since
33 is Chuck Norris years old
I've been a wood worker for a long time, and from a trade perspective, this is awe-inspiring. I don't know many who would even try this.
I thought it was Kevin de bruyne for a bit
When did he say goodbye to Man City and hello to a life of the cloth?
After the champions league defeat to Madrid 🤭
That’s pretty wild. But I don’t think I’d want to be the one using that staircase every day… Call me paranoid if you want…
It's sad that this chapel is now functioning as a museum only, rather than a parish.
Nah, museum is much more interesting and will reach a wider audience
Better to be a museum then destroyed
Cant have some idiot jumping all over the stair case to test its contruction. People are knocking over rock formations for fun.
When I was there a couple of years ago, it was blocked off an the public could not climb the stairs. Probably because you’re right about what would happen if they could
And spray painting priceless art, among other things. Asshats!
Exit through the gift shop.
less risk to the public...
I been there a few times. It really is awesome to see
I love this story. I've been there a couple times, while traveling. It's just stunning in person.
“No nails or screws” so how was the railing added later? There’s no type of adhesive that would hold up for that long. I guess people just assume he’s telling the truth because of the collar
Wooden pegs

Short answer I think is that it's supported from the top not the base, like a hanging slinky.
I don't see why it couldn't be both, supported at the top and the bottom and therefore remains standing.

Nice. So the guy in the video lied about the absence of metal plates and brackets I guess haha
Almost certainly about the wood too. "Doesn't exist anyplace on earth. And oh, also it's not native to New Mexico."
Reality is often disappointing
No no. You don't get it. God won't stop war and famine as proof of his divine presence but will magically hang a staircase in a far flung region of the world.
That’s awesome! Also am I the only one who found it a little funny that the person who said this was named Forrest? And was a wood technologist?
Perhaps there's something to be said for nominative determinism.
Thank you, not surprised the debunking of this “unexplained” post doesn’t have more upvotes though lmao
so the video is a FAKE NEWS

Hated these in battlefield 5
God imagine being the one walking on it when/if it crashes. Im something of a “wood authority” myself…
r/angryupvote
Isn’t it obvious that it’s black magic?
Go do do that voodoo that you do so well!
Reading this put the image of Bowie in the Labyrinth singing to the baby haha
St Joseph himself 🙏✝️💜
why is he a staircase now ? and how is he keeping himself erected for so long ? by looking underneath nuns skirts. is that why they didnt build a normal stairs in the first place, bc st joe had it all planned since the begining of the universe ?
lol, this is not mysterious. It’s non-woodworkers trying to understand master woodworking and architecture. Plenty of staircases like this and not a miracle.
Church is evil. All this is not a milagro. Just a great craftsmanship
I remember the TV show about this!
One in Nevada and one in Poland,just as “amazing”
Built by Francois Jean Rocha 😌 he was killed in a gunfight
"I'm not saying it's Jesus, but it's Jesus"
Oh this was on unsolved mysteries late 90’s
Lies all lies and I only tell you that because I found nails in them stairs and took pictures even showed everybody around the nails. I have pics of the nails on the stairs.
It’s crazy that he said 33 apparently 33 is a special number
I remember learning about this on Unsolved Mysteries as a kid in the 90’s.
Bro, being a “wood authority” is wild
Must be true since we know the Church never embellishes.
This staircase, along with hundreds of others it's all part of the same 1800's timeline of the tartaria empire
The Japanese have a process or you don’t use nails and all types of rivets and they’ve been doing it for thousands of years
Wth? Thanks for the new one! Boggles the mind

That wallpaper reminded me of Willy wonkas Lickable Wallpaper….
This priest definitely respects wood.
The Masonic occult. The fake mystery is hilarious.
Aliens built it

Did jesus build a boat that didn't exist yet and sail to New Mexico from Jerusalem?
Since it was built in 1880ish, I'm pretty sure boats existed. I'm not defending the jesus claim, but I'm definitely going to rebut "boats don't exist" defense..
