The notion that a tin foil hat can significantly reduce the intensity of incident radio frequency radiation on the wearerвЂ™s brain has some scientific validity, as the effect of strong radio waves has been documented for quite some time.ДЄ well-constructed tin foil enclosure would approximate a Faraday cage, reducing the amount of (typically harmless) radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation passing through to the interior of the structure.ДЄ common high school physics demonstration involves placing an AM radio on tin foil, and then covering the radio with a metal bucket. This, combined with caps of metal foil, enormously reduced the effects on ourselves. Well, we had discovered that metal was relatively impervious to the telepathic effect, and had prepared for ourselves a sort of tin pulpit, behind which we could stand while conducting experiments.

This was published in вЂњThe Yale ReviewвЂќ in April of 1926. The first recorded use of tin foil hats happened in 1927 as derived from a short story by Julian Huxley entitled, вЂњThe Tissue-Culture KingвЂќ in which the protagonist discovers that вЂњcaps of metal foilвЂќ will block the effects of telepathyвЂќ. The Mad Hatters believed if you were wearing a tin foil hat, you were impervious to the mind control of the Freemasons. They began their own fraternity, called the вЂњMad HattersвЂќ and upon learning about the protective properties of aluminumВ foil, they created their own hats made of this substance. As the story goes, non FreemasonsВ were suspicious of the brotherhood and believed that the Mason were using forms of mind control on them. One story states that the tin foil hat has its origins tied into the opposition of freemasonryВ when it began in 1717. In truth, a tinfoil hat only improves reception and makes it easier for the government to read your mind.( Urban dictionary) People who wear tinfoil hats do so to (1) prevent extraterrestrial, governmental or secret society mind control, (2) prevent others from using ESP on them, and (3) deter EMPs and other microwave effects. Propoganda designed to cover up a massive government conspiracy beginning in the late 1970вЂ™s when the United States government tried to cover up its radio-wave thought-control program by circulating a false rumor that people could shield their minds from government intrusion by wearing a tinfoil hat.
