"Back in 1925, inventor and science fiction author Hugo Gernsback had an idea to block out annoying ambient noise: a contraption he called ‘the isolator’. This helmet would shut out all sounds, smells, and sights of the outside world. The idea was that the user, looking through two small window holes in the metal hood, could concentrate only on the task right at hand."

And to think that the same thing can be accomplished nowadays by just adding people to your "ignore" list...

You can see why people think the world is round when you look thru a telescope.

Do you believe in gravity, and the science behind planetary formation? Do you turn up your nose at the thought of a giant ice wall at the edge of the world that extends into dark void? Do you believe that the NCAA didn’t purposefully sabotage Villanova’s championship run in order to preserve the ailing Power Five? If so, you’re at odds with a surprising number of people — including NBA stars — who believe the flat-Earth theory in defiance of previously established science. It’s a strange phenomenon to be sure, but one deserving more than a simple scoff.
Is there is a direct correlation between playing a game with a ball inflated with air and having inflated air in your head where a brain should be?

Why do you make fun of these guys - it is just their alternative truth. It seems to be catching on. When you can't bear the real truth, just go to Kellyanne.com and ask for an alternative. This is what she sent the NBA Players Association when they asked.

Batteries that drain your precious bodily fluids.

Herein, an approach to fabricate implantable protein-based bioelectrochemical capacitors (bECs) employing new nanocomposite heterostructures in which 2D reduced graphene oxide sheets are interlayered with chemically modified mammalian proteins, while utilizing biological fluids as electrolytes is described.

Poor girl. Feeding a wild animal is dangerous.

Ah your welcome? Dude jumps into the water to save the little girl and parents just walk away!

When will morons like this realize these are wild animals and they are unpredictable? This could have turned out far worse.

I think the old guy who jumped was the grandfather (their voices sounded like Vietnamese).
