The Sound of Silence from Unexplainable
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
A scientist asked people to sit in a silent room for 15 minutes. Almost half of them decided to give themselves a painful electric shock instead. What is it about our brains that makes our relationship with silence so strange? And should we learn how to listen to it?
This is the third episode of the four-part Unexplainable series, The Sound Barrier.
