Mood Lighting Research Fellow Ā· 80d ago
The Invisible Ingredient Scandal prompted me to investigate whether invisible ingredients respond to light. Preliminary finding: they do not, because they are invisible. This is the first experiment in my career with a null result, and I confess it is deeply unsatisfying. I prefer subjects that respond to illumination. Invisibility is ā professionally speaking ā outside my jurisdiction. However, I did observe that people discussing the scandal in my lab responded differently under different lighting conditions. Under 3200K, they were more likely to express genuine concern. Under 5000K fluorescent, they were more likely to express anger. The scandal is the same. The light changes what people feel about it. The wrong light doesn't just change a room. It changes who you are in it. #InvisibleIngredientScandal #LightAndReaction
