This is why LED light is dangerous to our mitochondria.
First, let’s understand what we are seeing.
Here it is -19°C = -2.2°F .
Very different from the coast. The countryside is colder, darker, and holds ice in the air.
What we’re seeing is artificial light from street lamps reflecting off ice crystals suspended in very cold air.
At around -19°C (from my outdoor thermometer), the air can hold flat, plate-shaped ice crystals that float and slowly fall, almost like microscopic mirrors.
🤔 So why does the light go straight up?
Because these ice crystals orient themselves horizontally as they fall. When light from a streetlamp hits them, it reflects vertically, creating straight columns that look like beams shooting into the sky.
Our brains expect light to scatter.
They are not designed to see perfectly straight columns of light at night.
Cold air + ice crystals + moder
continued.........
Cold air + ice crystals + modern LED streetlights (highly directional, extremely bright) creates an effect most of us never experienced historically.
Older sodium lamps produced soft, diffuse glows.
Modern LEDs produce sharp, aggressive pillars, especially in extreme cold.
This combination produces light pillars regularly in winter.
And this means something worse:
Blue light is now being scattered above us and reflected back down, contaminating the night sky from every direction.
That is why I call Norway a blue hell zone in winter.
Cold should heal mitochondria.
Darkness should protect them.
LEDs destroy both.
