I wish that was the case.
In all of those people, and I have to say we've done similar experiments on flies, on mice, on humans.
It's five days.
It lasts five days.
Five days.
It's a solid five-day effect.
So something very fundamental that is conserved across evolution
is playing a role here.
And I have to say that to a first approximation, anything I find in a fly, I find in a mouse.
Anything I find in a mouse, I find in a human.
I can't find a big disjuncture between those things.
So it lasted five days.
And the real big point to take on board is it's a switch.
There's not a dose response curve here.
You put enough energy in at a certain wavelength of light and it goes bang and click.
And then five days later, it goes chunk and stops.
Pretty much anything works to a rather similar extent at 670 going upwards.
When you go below 670 towards 650, the effects tend to be somewhat reduced.
I'm a big, big fan of natural sunlight because life's evolved for billions of years under sunlight.
It's only recently changed.
