That is so neat.
That is such a great question.
Sunsets are more red and orange and all those deep vibrant hues compared to...
you know, during the day, it's because the sunlight has to travel through more atmosphere.
So that light gets scattered more.
And the blue light is higher frequency, the purple and the blues, they get scattered away first.
So all that remains is the orange and the red.
And it's one of those funny things where like the more kind of dust is in the air, the more air pollution there is, the more gorgeous the sunsets are.
I am not a big fan of Los Angeles, but the... Oh, my God.
The sunsets there are amazing because the air quality is not.
It's been gorgeous.
Yeah, this is a really, really good, really, really important question that I don't fully know how to answer apart from there are things that are really important and really human.
And we need to make sure that we continue protecting that.
I think one of the things, there's a thing known as cognitive offloading, where instead of doing the homework yourself, you just, you know, a lot of students, a lot of young people just paste it into ChatGPT and it just spits out the answers at them.
And that's really bad, obviously.
And there is scientific data that supports that.
So I would strongly encourage when you feel that...
you know, the want to lean on a crutch that is AI just to put in the effort yourself.
If it looks like pulling an all-nighter to get the assignment done, it'll be worth it because you will actually learn.
