My Lightbulb Moment:

I remember in the dim and distant past , early April IN this Covid year 2020 when I recounted for some unknown reason the perplexing quandary that I’ve pondered over for many, many years.

‘ Why does smoke get attracted to lightbulbs?’

I placed this within my diary at the time. Also inadvertently linking this observation to UV light as well.

It’s something I’ve mused over for quite some time, like a lifetime in fact!

  • Well, why wouldn’t you, especially in a full on mode of panic that April 2020 presented to us all.
  • With an absolute mountain of death and seemingly never ending tales of doom & gloom.

Some of that has now gone, but thankfully someone else may just have had similar thoughts to myself.

Professor Hadas Mamane, Head of the Environment Engineering Research Programme of Tel Aviv University has found something of use for this observation!

You had better believe it. Not fake news this one!
