One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Witnessed the sunrise at the top of Mount Fuji or rode the full length of Vietnam on a motorcycle/scooter from South to North.

Teach, Learn, Share

A photon, a measured quantity of light, takes about 1.2 million years to get to the sun's surface after being generated through nuclear fusion reactions at the sun's core. It then only takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds or so to get to Earth

In other words, all sunlight is over a million years old 🤯

I can tell you about all the man-made chemicals in our environment that are slowly killing us and making us infertile
