Wait, is the 45 minute thing true?

Is there any way I can volunteer for an attempt?



From http://www.bbc.com/travel/blog/20121022-the-quietest-place-o... :

"Group tours of the labs are available a few times a year and include a brief stop at the anechoic chamber (call the lab for details). But the facility has had so much interest in the 45-minute challenge that the founder Steven Orfield is considering making that option available to the public within the next year, and is working with the Guinness Book of World Records to establish an official record for the longest time spent in an anechoic chamber."


I'd be interested to see what some meditating monks could do.

(Thanks for the quote. I'm in the UK and the page is, frustratingly, blocked to us.)


Probably not true.
