"Scientists were surprised to learn summer lightning over the U.S. significantly increases regional ozone and other gases that affect air chemistry 3 to 8 miles above Earth's surface.
The amounts of ozone and nitrogen oxides created by lightning surpass those generated by human activities in that level of the atmosphere.
Typically over the U.S., fossil fuel burning is the main cause of nitrogen oxides (NOx), which lead to the formation of ozone near the Earth's surface.
However, above the Earth's surface in the free troposphere (3-8 miles high), during the summer months, lightning activity increases NOx by as much as 90 percent and ozone by more than 30 percent."
The ozone layer PROTECTS us from the very strong damaging rays of the sun.
"This layer absorbs 93-99% of the sun's high frequency ultraviolet light, which is potentially damaging to life on earth."
Ozone is harmful (very) for us to BREATHE when it is in excess lower in the atmosphere and esp. when combined with fossil fuel emissions (car exhaust).
Lightning...talk about a HUGE power surge! Gamma rays (high frequency,high energy) released...
Light not only vibrates at different frequencies, it also travels at different speeds.
Light waves move through a vacuum at their maximum speed,
186,000 miles per second, which makes light the fastest phenomenon in the universe.
Light waves slow down when they travel inside substances, such as air, water, glass or a diamond.
The way different substances affect the speed at which light travels is key to understanding the bending of light, or refraction...
There's some very interesting stuff here. I'll post more reference articles as I find them.
Seems that blue light makes the blood less viscous. This may address the fibrinogen issue for people with Lyme.
