Ozone

And it's an incredible asset to have at home.

The thing I want to say about ozone is it really is.

It's O3.

It has a very unstable oxygen molecule on it.

And The ozone is never going to go into your blood.

This is the master inflammation switch.

It gets turned down when we're doing rectal ozone.

So it really is like adding O3 into the system.

Their collective respiratory output, combined with the massive off-gassing of volatile organic compounds from the feedlots, creates a chemical vortex.

It acts like a localized vacuum binding with ambient ozone molecules, O3, and breaking them down into regular oxygen, O2, at an accelerated, unnatural rate.

So you're saying the sheer collective breath and byproduct of these cows is literally chewing a hole through the atmosphere from the bottom up?

Precisely.

How does a cattle trough

start glowing in the dark? Well, Stanley, it goes back to the core mechanism of the ground-level ozone collapse I was talking about.

When the O3 shield thins out that drastically, it doesn't just let in solar radiation.

It alters the atmospheric chemistry at ground level.

Okay.

You know what ozone—the formula is O3, which means, you know, breathable oxygen is called atmospheric oxygen.

Okay.

So each molecule is O2.

You have two atoms of oxygen.

Right.

And O3 prevents us – well, it absorbs the UV light, ultraviolet light.

Okay.

Um, oxygen is another good example of an allotrope element.

Oxygen, O two, that we're breathing is super important, but you wouldn't dare breathe in ozone, which is O three.

That's an allotrope of oxygen, another form that oxygen takes.

Ozone would kill you.

[laughs] Not good.

But anyway, ozone is important, keeping it in the Earth.

It keeps some of the radiation away and stuff like that, so it's just kinda cool.

So an allotrope is just when you have an element and the element exists in more than one form.

That's unfortunate.

However, many have suggested that we could get round this by instead looking for ozone, O3, as a kind of proxy for molecular oxygen.

Ozone, O3, should really always exist whenever you have O2, as they constantly interchange between their two molecular states, mediated by ultraviolet radiation in the upper atmosphere.

However, O3 is far easier to detect spectroscopically.

A detailed study led by Zifan Liu and colleagues from the Carl Sagan Institute, who, by the way, have a great YouTube channel you can check out, tackled this question head on.

Simulating various atmospheric types and instrument modes, they report a somewhat pessimistic forecast for cracking open the champagne anytime soon.

If TRAPPIST-1e resembles modern Earth, then they find that ozone could be detected to 2.4 sigma significance after collecting 200 transits of the planet in the optimal instrument configuration.

2.4 sigma just really isn't much of a detection though, and frankly, nobody's gonna believe a claim at that level of significance.

Riley, tell me this.

Would you use an altitude tent again? And tell me about, tell me about ozone.

Use an altitude tent again.

I, I currently have two of them, mainly because they were too good of a deal on Facebook Marketplace, so I was, I could resell them for a profit, so it was, like, kind of a, a too-good-to-be-true thing.

So talking about Nrf2, there's another way to activate Nrf2.

There's also another way to oxygenate the system.

There, there's a thing called ozone.

So ozone is O3.
