Wow, yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

And again, I think mitochondria are part of that answer.

There's a guy at University College London, Glenn Jeffrey, who this is his whole field, optometry and red light.

And he has shown in multiple different animals, including humans, that red light improves mitochondrial function and improves vision.

And yeah, I think – so the mitochondria in the eyes have to fire faster than any mitochondria anywhere else in the body.

The eyes burn through energy like no other cells because it's like – it's kind of the toughest task.

It's like they got to go super fast.

So they – yeah, those mitochondria need to be –

on top of their game, and it seems like red light benefits that in particular.

You know, like so there's this like saying attributed to Max Planck, who's this like quantum physicist, science advances one funeral at a time.

I think we got to let the old guy die off a little bit.

But I guarantee there's a young generation coming in who's going to.

be really interested in light and how they can use it.

Yeah.

And it's fun.

I mean, playing with light, it's super fun.

So this is a way you can make your world a little bit richer is starting to think about this stuff.

Well, I think – and they won't object to the red.

Some of them are using red light therapy because there's no risk of skin cancer from red.
