Due to the nearby radio telescope, the residents of Green Bank, W.V., are
not allowed to use TV, cell phones, or Wi-Fi.
Any device that generates electromagnetic radiation -- a cell phone, a
television, or a wireless Internet router, for example -- is not permitted
in the tiny town of Green Bank, West Virginia. That’s because the nearby
Green Bank Telescope, with a dish the size of a football field, is busy
scanning the cosmos for pulsars, gas clouds, and distant galaxies. The 143
people who reside in Green Bank must, by law, live without the gadgets that
most Americans take for granted.
Dil ke Bazaar mein Daulat nahi Dekhi Jati,
Pyar ho jae to Surat nahi Dekhi Jati,
Ek Sathi pe Luta do Sab Kuch,
Kyunki Pasand ho Cheez to Kismat bhi Dekhi nahi Jati..
“When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.”
