Green Bank West Virginia: Green Bank of West Virginia is said to be the quietest city in America. Visitors to Green Bank have to adopt old methods to get somewhere. For example, they reach their destination by reading the signs on the roads. This is because as soon as you approach this city, the GPS stops working. The city has two churches, a primary school, a library and the world’s largest radio telescope. America’s capital Washington D.C. Wi-Fi internet service is not available in this small town located just four hours away from Mumbai. Because this city is located in the National Radio Quiet Zone (NRQZ) of the United States. This unique area was established in 1958 and is spread over 33,000 square km. The purpose of the National Radio Quiet Zone is to reduce radio frequency interference. Green Bank Observatory is in NERQZ. This observatory has the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope. So Wi-Fi internet connections and anything that can generate electromagnetic waves like microwave ovens are banned here.

Security of Scientific ResearchGreen Bank Telescope (GBT) works to detect very weak radio waves coming from space. Signals from Wi-Fi, cell phones and other electronic devices can interfere with the telescope’s ability to gather data. Why Strict Rules Are Made Devices that generate radio waves, such as cell phones, microwaves and even some types of vehicles, are completely banned in the area closest to the observatory. Who does the monitoringA local Radio Interference Officer monitors the area to ensure that the rules are followed. If any device is found to be interfering, it may be confiscated or shut down. Although these restrictions may seem harsh, they are necessary for the observatory’s research into space phenomena, such as gravitational waves and other cosmic mysteries.

It seems as if time has stopped somewhere in the 1950s. Because because of the telescope there is a silence zone of 33,000 square kilometers. Installation of cellphone towers is not allowed here. However, residents here have become accustomed to it. There are several payphones here for them to talk. The closer you get to the telescope, the more stringent the restrictions become. There is a 16 kilometer zone around the Green Bank Observatory where radio-controlled objects, even toys, cannot be used. These rules are strictly followed. Door-to-door checks are done. Radio frequency technicians work as technical policemen of the Observatory. If they suspect that there is an unauthorized signal, they go to that house and check whether any prohibited equipment is being used. Telescope staff work in a special room – like a kind of sarcophagus – that blocks electromagnetic waves from going in and out.

An official of the Observatory said, “Imagine a submarine here in which water cannot go inside. So this room is an electric submarine. “No electromagnetic waves can go into this room, just as you can’t go out of it.” The job of these scientists is to reduce the effect of external interference on the radio telescope. The official said that only once a week, when routine maintenance takes place, some restricted equipment is allowed to be brought near the telescope. Scientists are waiting for that moment! According to a report by Voanews.com, this football field-sized telescope is so sensitive that it can detect signals sent from an alien world. And scientists are eagerly waiting for this moment. Scientist Richard Lynch said, “All the signals we get so far with the help of telescopes come from cosmic objects – stars, galaxies. “We have not yet received any signal from any intelligent civilization.” Also read- India’s only train which does not charge ticket, people travel for free, even TT does not happen without Wi-Fi. Local people are happy. Local people respect the work of scientists and they are not ready to live life without Wi-Fi. I am happy. Sherry is the manager of Green Bank’s largest store. She was born here, so not having internet is normal for her. She says, “Yes, we are different. Many people would say that we live in the past in an old-fashioned way. But for us, this is the same life we have always lived.” A memento of the past hangs on the wall of his store, a wire phone. This is the only means of calling someone at Green Bank.

Sherry says, “When we want to meet friends, we call each other on wire phone. Let’s call. “Instead of sitting in front of the TV screen, we talk, go fishing, go to the mountains.” She says that residents here read the local weekly newspaper for the latest news. When Shari needs someone’s phone number, she looks in the phone book. Instead of Facebook, Shari enjoys daily interactions with her customers. In this city, everyone knows each other and conversations happen face to face. Internet banned in North Korea also: North Korea is a country where the use of Internet is completely banned. People here use only the government internet, in which only government approved information is available. Those who have contact with the outside world do not have access to the internet, due to which people remain completely cut off from global events.
