What do some French restaurants, the open sea, a small town in West Virginia and your favorite rock band concert have in common? All these are just some of the places where your cellphone won’t work for different reasons. Really! Unless you're traveling on a huge cruise ship that has its own satellite-based technology to let you stay on the grid, the open sea is mostly one massive coverage gap.

It is located in the Radio Quiet Zone. Here, scientists are carefully listening to galaxies exploding somewhere in the universe using the world’s largest radio telescope.
– Mobile phones and laptops are officially banned within a half-mile radius of white-sand beaches at multiple Caribbean resorts. – Only one of the four Pitcairn islands is inhabited by fewer than 60 people. But even super low taxes, crystal clear water and summer all year round don’t inspire too many people to jump in – maybe it’s lack of cell phone service that’s discouraging folks. – There is just one spot with some cell phone reception and one public phone in Tikaboo Valley in Nevada. – Some restaurants charge their clients a fine for using cell phones while eating. At a café located three hours northwest from Marseille, France, phones are officially banned. – Too many phones trying to send and receive signal from nearby cell towers simply overload the network.
– Sometimes you can find yourself on the wrong side of the hill for phone reception. Even if there is a cell tower not far from your home it won't help you much if the signal is blocked by a hill or a mountain. – Have you ever noticed how bars drop during a thunderstorm? That happens because radio waves travel through the atmosphere, and when raindrops, dust particles, and ionized particles get in their way they mess up the signal.
– When you're traveling at high speed, you change your location way too fast for radio signals to move between your cell phone and the right cell tower. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

What If You Laughed for 24 Hours Straight
A weird thing happened to me last night. I was watching some movie where the main character was laughing a lot, and I caught myself thinking: what if you laughed, like, for a full day, non-stop? The thought of it was so funny for some reason that I actually started laughing, and… couldn’t stop myself. So there it began. At first, it was kinda fun. You know it — when you laugh, you basically ARE having fun, endorphins filling your bloodstream and all that. But after about 5 minutes I started realizing I wasn’t going to stop, after all… Other videos you might like:

When I began really worrying 1:00
How I spent the night 1:22 Why I didn't go to work 4:13
Dangerous guys 6:46
… and wid animals 7:16 #funstory #laughing #brightside SUMMARY:
– That’s where I began really worrying if everything was alright with me. It was 10.45 pm, I was going to go to bed in another 15 minutes, but my educated guess (through all the shaking from laughter, right) was that I wasn’t going to sleep tonight.
– More time passed, and I started feeling cramps in my belly. You know that feeling when your stomach muscles ache after you’ve laughed for a while? – I cleaned my apartment, laughing hard. I washed all the dishes left over from dinner, still laughing like mad. – I didn’t want to sleep, by the way, because all that laughing somehow boosted my system with good hormones.
– I went to the bathroom and faced another problem: I had to brush my teeth, I usually do it before breakfast. – My sister got into some kind of trouble with her car stuck in the middle of nowhere and nobody would help her. I grabbed this opportunity to write to my boss at once that I was having an emergency, and rushed off outside to help her.
– She stood at the curb, waving at me, and while I pulled over, I was thinking fast how would I explain my attitude. – I think She got offended by my attitude, but I promised myself to explain everything to her later, and got down to repairs.
– I got back in my car and decided I’d skip the day at work completely — it was already past lunch anyway, so I went to some roadside diner where nobody knew me and very few people were inside. – But on the way to my car, a big man went out of the diner with a rolling pin in his hand. He wasn’t smiling. Bad sign. He asked me to share the joke so he and his brothers could laugh with me. – I don’t think they understood what I was blabbering about, and they continued walking slowly and menacingly to me, but then I finally bumped into something hard. – But it was also warm and… breathing? Definitely not my car, I thought and turned around. It was a unicorn!
– It turned out I fell asleep while watching the movie and didn’t even notice it. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Some Airlines Let Passengers Choose a Plane Name
When the pilot greets you on board, they’ll talk about the weather and flight duration after introducing themselves and the crew. But have you ever been on a flight where the Captain introduced the plane itself? I don’t mean “Boeing 737,” but something like “Miss Moneypenny” – really! You can’t make this stuff up! Planes are a relatively recent invention. Before them, there was another popular means of mass transportation – ships. Well, it might come as no surprise that aviation inherited a lot of things from seafaring. Each major ship in history had its name. So if you’re wondering where the practice comes from, the aviation industry took this old maritime tradition and flew with it! Other videos you might like:

– The first major airline to do it was Pan American Airways, once the largest international air carrier in the United States.
– They continued naming their aircraft, many of them with maritime monikers, until Delta bought the historic airline in 1991. – Around that same time in the1920s, similar things were happening across the pond.
– Today, a lot of major airlines like Virgin America, Virgin Atlantic, Qantas, Icelandair, and JetBlue spend a good amount of time and money coming up with the perfect name for their aircraft before sending it off. – In Australia, for example, Qantas aircraft proudly bear the name of local cities, Aboriginal art, and the continent’s first pilots. – Virgin Australia likes naming their planes after the country-continent’s endless beaches – there are so many of them that they can keep buying planes and never run out of names!
– The national airline of Israel called El Al names its aircraft after local cities. – In Hawaiian culture, giving a name to a person or even an object is a revered practice. They say it can make or break a person’s (or object’s) prosperity and spirit.
– Head to India, and you just might fly on a plane called Red Chili, Coriander, Pepper, or Turmeric! – Russian national air carrier Aeroflot looks to the country’s great writers, scientists, and composers for inspo. – Virgin Atlantic airlines give their planes mostly female names, such as Pretty Woman, Queen of the Skies, Ladybird, and Indian Princess. – And when airlines need some help from the public, they hold competitions among their social media followers to invent their own perfect plane name.
– Singaporean airline Scoot is using eccentric plane names as a way to show how cool and fresh they are. – How about BRA airways? It was a Brazilian airline, but the name doesn’t come from women’s undergarments. It stood for Brasil Rodo Aéreo.

9 Rare But Amazing Events Almost Never Seen Before or After
What occurrence would you call rare? A one in a million chance? A once in a lifetime moment? Nah, that’s child’s play! What about something that happened only once or twice in history? Have you ever heard, for example, that the Mississippi River has been spotted running backward three times? Or that Niagara Falls was gone once? Or that in 1859, auroras of all shapes, sizes, and colors filled the sky in half of the world, going as far south as Jamaica, Hawaii, and Cuba? Those are challenges worthy of a true wonder seeker!

Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– In 1812, the Mississippi River stood still and then went backward because of a so-called ‘fluvial tsunami’, which originated from an earthquake nearby. – On February 22nd, 2007, fishermen on the San Aspiring ship became the first and only to capture a thousand pound squid alive. – Funny thing is that this colossal squid appeared to be a small one, even at 15 feet total length. – Voyager 2 discovered 11 moons around Uranus that were never seen before. Three years later, in 1989, it also found rings and 6 new moons around Neptune.
– It took only 4 days in 2016 for the Slims River to almost completely dry out because of this event, which is certainly one of the rarest occurrences ever.
– On August 15, 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman was going through his normal routine at the Big Ear radio telescope at Ohio State University. – It has no natural explanation, nor can it be explained as a part of human interaction or a malfunction of a radio telescope.
– On June 30th, 1908, in Russia’s Central Siberia, an object went through the atmosphere of the planet and then exploded right over the tops of the trees. – The echo was heard over 500mi away from the explosion itself, which wiped out more than 800mi2 of the forest. – Other nearby waterfalls go frozen or dry regularly, but finding one day that Niagara Falls itself was gone, was probably the scariest event in someone’s life. – It happened in 1848, when a particularly powerful ice-cold wind led to a build-up of snow and ice up the river from Niagara Falls. – Auroras, also called northern lights, are a miracle specific to only the Northern regions of the world, except on the 1st day of September 1859.
– That day, auroras of all shapes, sizes, and colors filled the sky in half of the world, going as far south as Jamaica, Hawaii, and Cuba. – Xenon-124, the sturdiest tiny brick in the fabric of reality. It takes more time for an atom of xenon-124 to fall apart than has passed since the Big Bang – a trillion times more time, to be fair.

You’ll enter the dining room through a golden, shell-shaped corridor. – Near the restaurant, there are also a few private rooms with their own aquariums inside. They have gold shells hanging from the ceiling with special lighting. – Recently, the most luxurious bar in the world opened in the hotel, and it’s called Gold on 27.

Why Cruise Ships Stay Upright in Any Weather
A majestic snow-white cruise ship looks like a piece of art. It's a city in itself, with cafes, stores, swimming pools, gyms, and a water park. Everything, from its impressive size to the number of passengers on board, leaves unprepared observers speechless. The biggest mystery for some people is, "How does this big guy stay afloat and avoid keeling over?" Cruise ships are built to withstand 50-ft waves. Such huge waves are a rarity, and a typical ship is unlikely to come across one of those during its career. But still, cruise ships are surprisingly well-prepared for all bad weather Mother Nature has in her bag of tricks. They're designed to handle even severe storms during the hurricane season!

– The Symphony of the Seas is a really big boat. With 22 restaurants, an ice rink, a 9-story zip line, robot bartenders, theaters, water slides, and climbing walls, who’s got time to look at the water? It's the world's largest cruise ship. – A cruise ship can roll to almost 60 degrees before it's in danger of tipping over! Plus, cruise ships are built to withstand 50-ft waves.
– Cruise ships are surprisingly well-prepared for all bad weather Mother Nature has in her bag of tricks. They're designed to handle even severe storms during the hurricane season. – Usually, no more than 30 ft of the vessel sits under the water, which is only about 10% of the ship's overall height. – If you look at a cruise ship's hull, you'll notice its unusual shape: it's wide and rounded. This helps the vessel to move smoothly and with minimal drag – that's a force which slows a ship down.
– Even though a cruise ship towers above the surface, its center of gravity is far below the waterline.
– Buoyancy, low center of gravity, and ballast keep a cruise ship stable. But there is one natural phenomenon that can still put this vessel at risk, and it's not wind!
– Being equipped with plenty of modern gismos, cruise ships still try to avoid or outrun any serious storm they're likely to come across. – Most cruise lines have an opportunity to observe all their ships in real time and change their routes if there is a hurricane, typhoon, massive storm, or fog ahead. – Sometimes, a cruise ship doesn't manage to dodge a storm and has to force its way through the waves. If it happens, the most important thing is to keep the ship's front (called the bow) pointed into the waves.
– Cruise ships are equipped with special stabilizers that prevent them from tilting to one side too much. – It's hard for ships to avoid bad weather altogether because every year, the average cruise ship travels more than 84,000 miles!
