A lot of the stuff I read say that 20 seconds is enough for a new seconds of blindness. Staring at the sun for ten minutes like those people did would fuck your eyesight permanently and at the very least you'd be blind for a few days. You realise I stared at the sun for extended periods of time and suffered nothing more than seeing the world in blue? As in, at least 10 minutes of time with no thoughts or anything, just staring straight at the sun with no filters purely for the sake of doing so. I didn't suffer any blindness, and loss of vision, and was in fact the oldest person in my family to recieve glasses, and my family members who have had their glasses longer than I have actually have worse eyesight than me despite not staring at the sun.

Unless I was somehow blessed by God (which I doubt, considering there was no religious experience for me, just extended periods of blank times filled with nothing but the sun), I'm just pointing out that there are cases of people staring at the sun for extended periods of time without avderse side effects.
