The best experiment I did was by accident when I was on a North-South flight. We were due to land just after sunset. At altitude, we were in full sunlight and since the ground was pretty dark, we thought there was some bad weather at our destination. But as we landed, we moved into the darkness. It's only on the ground that we discovered it was a beautiful warm night. It was one of the best shows I've seen in my life.

Please, please make the segment about jumping up for the sunset into a short video. So many people would benefit from a better understanding of physics. This video is an outstanding example of doing just it in a fun and easy way.
