And they're all listening to you. So when you want to go there, when you do go there, they actually don't know where the sun is going to set. Remember, the sun only rises and sets once a year, right? So it's one day and one night per year, six months long. where the sun sets is unknown. And actually, the days preceding it, the sun is making a big circle around your head.

I've seen this with the moon. So the sun and the moon, they just make a circle. And slowly, after reaching their apex on the first day of summer, which is December 21st for them down there, upside down, eventually it crosses the horizon on March 21st. Around March 21st, that's the first day of fall or when they start... getting ready for winter, they don't know where it's going to go down.

We think of it always going to the west. But where is west at the South Pole? Every direction you look is north. So when this occurs, the actual phenomenon that you mentioned, the green flash, can last for days or can last for hours. So if you really are an aficionado of Huberman protocols and you want to see the green flash, apply to be down there.

But the bad news is you're stuck there for nine more months. So, yes, it's a real phenomenon. Not only can you take pictures of it, but you can see it with your eye. The only correction I would say is you pretty much need to have a perfectly clear day. You can't have any clouds on the horizon. And it's best seen over the ocean. So we're blessed here.

Yeah. So the Earth's atmosphere is actually layered, but it's actually simpler to think about the Earth as being flat. Now, hopefully there's no flurfers out there thinking that Brian Keating is advocating the flat Earth. But imagine this table. We're looking at a table.

Imagine there's a slab of translucent glass on it, and we're sitting on the table underneath the slab of glass, pretty thick glass, right? And you're looking straight up. you look through a minimum amount of the glass, right? Straight up would be zenith at your local horizon. Every direction you're looking is your horizon. You see off the edge of this flat earth in this analogy.

When you look at a slight angle, you're going through more path lengths. of the substrate, of the substance. More glass. More glass. Finally, if you did have this thing extending to infinity, you'd be looking through an infinite amount of atmosphere or glass when you're tangent to the horizon, when you're going parallel to the Earth's surface in this flat Earth analogy.
