Funny story about a HUGE box of sand and a cat.I used to be into Holography. Not the shiny silver kinda 3D sticker things. True transmission or reflection holograms. If you've ever seen one, they are AMAZING. A laser is required to view it (as well as create one). Anyway, the process requires an absolute vibration free way to hold the mirrors, lenses, plate, shutter and laser. Basically a very big, very stable, isolation platform. Mine was on a concrete slab, with layers of foam and concrete blocks, then four inner-tubes, then a box filled with sand. Two thousand pounds of sand. Double washed amber colored sand (no dust, less reflection of red laser light).
After my holography platform was completed my cat took no time at all to discover it. Fortunately I was in the room. We made eye contact. You could see it in his eyes. He was actually twitchy from finding this REALLY GREAT thing. I put a heavy plywood cover on it. He would go in there and worry on that cover for hours. He was a huge cat but couldn't move the cover. After I started seeing marks and grooves on the wood, I kept the room closed up.
I miss him.
