WHEN IIIIIIII WAS A CHILD
I CAUGHT A FLEETING GLIMPSE
I TURNED TO LOOK BUT IT WAS GONE
I CANNOT PUT MY FINGER ON IT NOW, THE CHILD IS GROWN, THE DREAM IS GONE
OKAY okay okay
JUST A LITTLE PINRPICK
THERE'LL BE NO MORE
BUT YOU MAY FEEL A LITTLE STICK
CAN YOU STAND UP?
I DO BELIEVE IT'S WORKING... GOOD
THAT'LL KEEP YOU GOING THROUGH THE SHOW
COME ON IT'S TIME TO GO
THERE IS NO PAIN YOU ARE RECEDING
A DISTANT SHIP SMOKE ON THE HORIZON
YOU ARE ONLY COMING THROUGH IN WAVES
YOUR LIPS MOVE, BUT I CAN'T HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
Well there's a mosque in Isfahan in Iran where there are two pillars at both ends you can wisper besides one and any person standing near the other can hear you clearly while noone else can. It's very old and uses the foci of a hyperbola to achieve the effect. It's damn cool
I read a book as a kid and I remember it said that a monument in London worked like this too. There's a big ass circular room and if you whisper to the wall the person opposite to you will understand you, but no one else will. Too bad I can't remember which monument.
Yeah it is fun but not complicated, if you stand on the focus of a hyperbola and the other person stands on the other focus point, the sound waves only concentrate on those two points and no one else can hear you
