The Science of Opposites

The science of opposites where we aim to explore the opposite of every noun in the English language.

Nouns don't tend to have opposites - words like knife, pen, house, car and phone are somehow more complete when you find their logical partner.

Register and play your part in solving one of language's great mysteries. If we all do 1 noun each, we'll have this finished in no time.

Tonguedio

To provide an taste-based representation of something.

The tonguedio, a portmanteau of "Tongue" and "Radio" works by the taster sticking their face into the "Speaker" which consists of a device which injects food and drink into the mouth.

The one drawback with this system is that it has to be constantly refilled, so it makes it had to translate works which have a long narrative. The ultimate aim is for the tonguedio to provide a complete taste-based version of "War and Peace".
