Scientists Just Captured The Flash of Light That Sparks When a Sperm Meets an Egg

For the first time ever, scientists have captured images of the flash of light that sparks at the very moment a human sperm cell makes contact with an egg.

The phenomenon has been observed in animals before, but no one’s ever seen the spark of human conception. And what’s even more incredible is the fact that some eggs burn brighter than others, which is a direct indication of their ability to develop into a healthy embryo, a team from Northwestern University found.

The temperature must go up at this point.

So you could say this is the essence of ‘turned on’?
The preclude to tune in and later to drop out.

The egg is a spheroid.

I wonder if it matters where the sperm enters?

ie, is there a difference if the sperm enters somewhere else?

I don’t know but I have doubts.
