The World’s Quietest Room
Scientists at Minneapolis’ Orfield Labs created their own soundless room, an anechoic chamber. Their studies have found that when putting subjects within the chamber, they begin to hallucinate within 30 minutes.
With an average quiet room having a sound level of 30 decibels, the anechoic chamber’s sound level is -9 decibels. The ceiling, floor, and walls of the chamber absorb sound rather than have it bounce off as normal objects do. The chamber is so quiet that the subjectscan even hear their own organs functioning.
Although extremely interesting, the experience is rather unpleasant. Not one subject has spent more than 45 minutes in the chamber alone.
Leaving a person to only their thoughts, the chamber could drive them insane.

Oh shit I’m so sorry. I just realized I broke one of the biggest principles or perhaps laws on tumblr! I reblogged an image from another tumblr, effectively stealing their photo!
I’m trembling in prada right now worrying over whether you are NASA itself, threatening me upon me stealing the photo you took with your Hubble Telescope composite image from MULTIPLE telescopes… which makes you extremely prestigous owning several different telescopes not only in outerspace, but in Chile and in Switzerland and New Mexico!
Or, perhaps even scarrier…. you are “God” himself claiming rights and copyright to the M83’s Nebula.
Either way, what worries me the most… is that if you own M83… the photons we’ve captured that have taken so much time to travel are quite old at this point, which means you might not own a nebula anymore! But perhaps a collapsed nebula into a star(s) and you own the planets that those stars are the host energy provider for! Which means you could own planets and perhaps even a race!
YOU COULD WAGE INTERGALLACTIC WAR ON ME!
I’LL TAKE YOUR THREAT WITH MUCH MERIT AND DO KNOW SIR THAT YOU HAVE INJECTED AN ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT OF FEAR WITHIN ME.
I shall proceed with this fear doing nothing. go fuck yourself.
