Music Attracting Fish; Living in an UFO in the 21st Century

Scientists revitalized the dead coral of the Great Barrier Reef by using acoustic enrichment. It's a speaker near the coral and makes noise. And it turned out to attract twice as many fishes. Nature Communications published a study that healthy corals make noisy sounds, and dead corals are quieter without hustle and bustle sounds. Being that this treatment hasn’t been proven, the scientists are not sure these fishes would stick around for long. But it is expected to help other dead corals struggling with low tides and invasive species underwater.

Only about 50 Futuros are remaining.
A California Preservation Architect, who was interested in architecture in sci-fi movies from his old days, restored one of them and made it his vacation house. He said there was only a speck of dust, as every window was inoperable. He appreciated its livability. He added, living in this forerunner of the house movement is so special that you should be a custodian of it.
