  • There's a town in West Virginia where there are tight restrictions on mobile signal, wifi and other parts of what most of us know as simply: modern life. It means Green Bank is a place unlike anywhere else in the world.
    Green Bank sits at the heart of the National Radio Quiet Zone, a 13,000 square mile (33,669 sq km) area where certain types of transmissions are restricted so as not to create interference to the variety of instruments set up in the hills - as well as the Green Bank Observatory, there is also Sugar Grove, a US intelligence agency outpost.
    Dave Lee went to visit this unique area.

    I live about 50 miles away from here, I have very bad Tinnitus with ringing ears and clicking in one ear. Very tired and exhausted I didn't believe this little town called green bank was like the garden of Eden, I was like B-S one day when I went there within 10 minutes My Tinnitus completely stopped and felt so calm and felt alive for the first time in 30 years. But no homes for sale what so ever. And couldn't afford to leave my job either, within 10 minutes of leaving here my ringing and clicking sound returned full force. We are being killed off by our own technology!

      Everything in the natural world emits radio waves, everything that is above 0 degrees Kelvin. Radio waves can travel through the cosmic dust, around objects in space. Very few things in the natural world emit visible light, so to observe things there needs to be a light source for the object your trying to observe to reflect. That light is blocked by the cosmic “dust” and other interference. Imagine you’re in a closet, you can still listen to the radio, but you can’t see the light from the sun. Plus they do so so much more than search for aliens.
