what I like best about living in quiet
zone and it kind of tells the whole
story the quietness some people that
come here they’ll say what do you do
well I’ll just say I’m doing right now
you know I and I should just listen to
nature all around you
Green Bank West Virginia is a very
unique place I find it ironic sometimes
that you know we were working with
technology here that’s world-class its
world leading but yet no one here has a
cell phone
so a radio telescope works just like an
optical telescope in that if you build
it or have it in an area where there’s a
lot of radio noise the signals you’re
trying to look for would be obliterated
by that radio noise in the same way you
can’t see the Milky Way in downtown New
York City a cell phone on Mars would be
the brightest radio object to us in the
sky in order to protect the radio
atmosphere in this area Congress created
the National Radio quiet zone and that’s
an area that’s 13,000 square miles
there’s actually a long list of modern
conveniences that we can’t utilize here
and then generally shouldn’t be utilized
in the community gasoline engines cause
a problem we only use Diesel’s on-site
Wi-Fi modems cordless telephones no
cellular phones the automatic door
opener at the local store no digital
cameras come here piggy piggy Hey
when you go and you tell people stuff
like that they can’t believe we’re in
there just like what like I called my
college roommate and she’s like we’ll
just give me a number and I’ll text you
and if she doesn’t have an iPhone we
can’t do iMessage I was like well we
can’t text because I don’t have service
and they don’t understand they’re just
like how do you live without your phone
like what do you do I mean it’s
different like if you don’t go from one
house to another house with Wi-Fi years
you don’t have any way to contact other
people which is odd I really enjoy it
because it’s quiet it’s peaceful it’s
beautiful all these electronic
technician things that these kids are
setting pushing buttons on don’t happen
here only way you do that is at home it
would be very difficult to create a
radio quiet zone these days because in
order to create it you would have to
walk into an area and take things away
from people but living here people have
grown up without it and they’ve built
their homes and they built everything
around the idea that they will be wired
they won’t have wireless systems so it’s
much easier to maintain a setup like
this and it would be to create a new set
up
