  • Exactly. People weren’t so much amazed by the fact something wouldn’t move until you moved it, they were much more amazed by mathematical proof that in the vacuum of space objects will just keep moving however you pushed them - it’s an alien idea when all you’ve ever experienced is the opposite on Earth.

    That’s kinda the point though. Outside of a true vacuum or a literally perfect anechoic chamber, you won’t get true silence anywhere. There’s always something, even if you can’t consciously perceive it.

    Getting pure water is easier than true silence, but it’s still not something most people will encounter in their life - and basically anywhere else you can get water on Earth will have some level of minerals in it, as such that background flavour is the flavour of water…

    And like with sound, everywhere has it’s own flavour of water.
