Telectroscope - well, very interesting building

22/05/2008 in New York and London at the same time opened a unique structure called Telectroscope - giant telescope, through which New York can see what is happening in London, and vice versa. Very interesting "legend" about how it all works. Paul St George, the grandson of Alexander Stanhope St George, says that his grandfather had once built the transatlantic tunnel, which connects London and New York. Over time, I forget about it, but Paul found drawings and diagrams of the tunnel, installed parabolic mirrors at each of its ends, and voila, the people at a distance of 5,600 km can watch each other. Of course, you already knew all this, though beautiful, but the tale In reality, it all works through a series of web cameras installed in the two cities, which broadcast video in real time via the Internet.
Telectroscope will run until June 15; in New York, it can be found on the Brooklyn Bridge and look into it for free, and in London - at the Tower Bridge, but the same pleasure will cost £ 1.
