It's kind of pointless at this point to try and explain to the likes of you.

but filmmakers today seem to be making a point to point directly at the sun, whereas in the past it wasn't wise to shoot such a shot. . most filmmakers today tho seem to bring shots of the sun when it's about to set. take that for what you will, but to me, it's not a coincidence.

Do you believe that it will be possible to survive "this event?" Will you rid yourself of possessions as the time nears? What will you personally do as the date approaches? Do you have kids?
When researchers found an unusual linkage between solar flares and the inner life of radioactive elements on Earth, it touched off a scientific detective investigation that could end up protecting the lives of space-walking astronauts and maybe rewriting some of the assumptions of physics.
It's a mystery that presented itself unexpectedly: The radioactive decay of some elements sitting quietly in laboratories on Earth seemed to be influenced by activities inside the sun, 93 million miles away.
Is this possible?
Researchers from Stanford and Purdue University believe it is. But their explanation of how it happens opens the door to yet another mystery.
There is even an outside chance that this unexpected effect is brought about by a previously unknown particle emitted by the sun. "That would be truly remarkable," said Peter Sturrock, Stanford professor emeritus of applied physics and an expert on the inner workings of the sun.
The story begins, in a sense, in classrooms around the world, where students are taught that the rate of decay of a specific radioactive material is a constant. This concept is relied upon, for example, when anthropologists use carbon-14 to date ancient artifacts and when doctors determine the proper dose of radioactivity to treat a cancer patient.

I'm an advocate of sungazing and recommend it to anyone. I stared at the sun for 30 minutes straight yesterday. Start slow at dawn, your eyes get strong.

No, the OP should be held to the same standards as everyone else, especially when said new person is calling people retarded, making inane one line retorts, and deflecting any critical analysis of what he is saying. See the above post for crying out loud. Telling someone they are being dumb is the new status quo around here.
The OP's claim has already been disproven, yet while it remains here stinking ATS up with yet another claim of "Smurfs ARE Real!!", we should just go about our days and let the entirety of the content of ATS be dragged down because of garbage like this?
I don't think so.

As this is in "Skunk Works" for a reason...phew!!!
Thought I would add my little bit of advice for those staring at the sun...DON"T.

Sungazing does not make you go blind if you start slow. Yes if you stare at the noon sun without building your eyes up slowly yes, you will burn something.
