So it's going to literally go through the skin.

It goes through the skin.

And let's take the simple experiment.

The simple experiment was you strip people...

off and you stand in front of sunlight and you put a radiometer on their back.

A radiometer measures the amount of energy coming through, okay?

And then we put a spectrometer on your back as well, which tells us the wavelength.

So what we get from that, the reading we get from that is that

A few percent, a few percent is coming out the back.

Now, we shouldn't concentrate on that.

What we should concentrate on is what happens to the rest because it's not bouncing back from the surface of the skin.

Very little bounces back.

It's being absorbed.

Amazing.

Which is amazing.

In any conversation like this, we need to talk about silos, people coming from different angles at a problem.

And I have the advantage of Bob Fosbury working with me.

Bob was lead for analyzing atmospheres on exoplanets with the European Space Agency.

He had a lot to do with the European use of Hubble.

And a lot of his spectrometers are up on the James Webb telescope.
