    Speaking of hearing the other day I read something very interesting about gene therapy to cure hearing loss. Normal hearing aids are based on a microphone which picks up sounds and converts it to electrical pulses (here you can distinguish roughly between 20 tones). In this new approach, however, neurons in the ear are genetically modified to respond to light. When micro-LEDs are then placed into the ear neurons can be stimulated in a very controlled manner which cures deaf people and makes them even hear better than healthy individuals (I made a video about this a long time ago) What I just thought was how people with such new implants would hear thunder..

    Another thing: I once noticed how a thunderbolt can look way brighter when looking out onto a field (with the lightning behind you) in one part of the field than another part of the field. Then it struck me (lol) lightning happens in the clouds (and around it) so obviously it still has shadows just like the sun does. Thus brighter and darker spots.

    By the way, there are "two kinds of thunder", that happen in quick succession. The first is the stepped leader (honestly, I had to google this one 'cause I didn't remembered the exact name), and it goes from the cloud to the ground. The second is the exact opposite: it goes up, from the ground to the sky. This last one is called return strike. They aways happen in quick succession and are followed by hundreds of smaller strikes that can happen in less than a second. The first two leave ionized path behind, and the light of the lighting is actually caused by all the ionized gas.

    If you've even been close enough to a thunder you'd understand the crack the whip reference. It doesn't even sound like you'd expect of a thunder, it sounds like you just broke off a huge branch from a tree, but in a fraction of a second. It's really loud and different then when it's far.

    Chilean quarantined in Buenos Aires, where rainstorms can last for days. This explains a lot. 💞

    A nice downpour with rolling thunder and the slight hint of ozone is one of the most relaxing experiences I know.

    The ASMR levels for this video are off the charts (sorry I couldn't think of a pun). Good choice having all that rain in the background.
