Vibration seems to be the obvious answer due to the fact it doesn't move when the museums closed but at times it seems like it moves during the day
even when there is nobody there. I can't play it in slower motion right now however to properly confirm that. Also you have to ask why this has only
happened recently. First things that come to mind are if there were any recent additions to that area which could have had a mechanical effect on the
environment in regards to vibration. The statue may of just been moved there recently too, maybe that's why it's at a strange angle from the start?
All the others are parallel in direction to each other.
I've lived in Manchester for a few years and that road has barely any traffic past 6 or 7pm in comparison to 8-14pm yet the movement of the statues
seems to stay fairly constant throughout the opening hours. The fact it's only that statue moving could be due to the fact that the vibration
frequency caused by the combination of people walking/traffic/whatever for that day matched the resonant frequency of that statue (a product of it's
unique geometry and physical properties) which caused the vibration and subsequent movement. This would make sense if the statue was just moved there
and there was a slight incline (otherwise I'd expect the movement would of not been perfectly circular like that regardless of surface friction e.t.c
but more random/chaotic) There's problems with the incline idea though...
If it's a complete horizontal incline (length of glass) you'd expect the statue to keep rotating past 180. If it was a complete vertical incline it
should of stopped before 180. If it is a diagonal incline the other statues would of shown movement from the glass vibrating in general. If it was an
incline only in the area of that statue the lighting and reflection of the glass would of shown some sort of distortion there.
#, I've just left myself with no explanation
My guess though would be [recent addition to museum area/statue just moved there] caused statue to experience resonance from the combined local
frequencies and vibrate significantly, and with the addition of some other physical factors caused the movement.
Orrr it could just be a stunt to 'make people think logically before they jump to supernatural reasons' or some crap.
Edit; Then again, if the curator genuinely called in Brian Cox for explanation and thinks there might be a spiritual cause then I doubt it's a hoax at
heart, and it being used for publicity is probably an after thought.
