We Emit a Visible Light That Vanishes When We Die, Says Surprising New Study

Life truly is radiant, according to an experiment conducted by researchers from the University of Calgary and the National Research Council of Canada.

An extraordinary experiment on mice and leaves from two different plant species has uncovered direct physical evidence of an eerie 'biophoton' phenomenon ceasing on death, suggesting all living things – including humans – could literally glow with health, until we don't.

The findings might seem a little fringe at first glance. It's hard not to associate scientific investigations into biological electromagnetic emissions with debunked and paranormal claims of auras and discharges surrounding living organisms.

What's more, even in theory, visible wavelengths of light emitted by biological processes ought to be so faint that it's easily swamped by the intense shine of ambient electromagnetic waves in the environment and radiant heat generated by our metabolism, making it a challenge to accurately track across an entire body.

Still, University of Calgary physicist Vahid Salari and his team have claimed to observe just that – an ultraweak photon emission (UPE) produced by several living animals in strong contrast with their non-living bodies, as well as in a handful of plant leaves.

The science reporting on yahoo is exactly the same as reading the actual study. Trust me on this.

Part of our functions while living cause electron flow. When an electron is knocked away from its valence orbit it will burn energy to return to a stable orbit. When this energy is used, light it emitted.

This makes sense but really means nothing at the end of the day.

I garuantee I'll be hearing "b-b-but muh souls!!!" about this topic.

We Emit a Visible Light That Vanishes When We Die

a) If all implies light; then each one within implies ray (matter) within the visible spectrum (momentum) of light (motion).

b) Emit/emittere - "send forth" implies light sending forth rays aka an internal/inherent separation.

c) Only within ongoing light can each temporary ray (life) appear (inception) and vanish (death).

two different

Only one can be different from one another...two implies one + one together, hence alike. Light differentiating each ray from one another implies the visible spectrum of light aka color aka hue of man (human), which light animates (animal).

A jew suggests equality through diversity by tempting alike consent among gentiles. Why? To equalize natural differences by artificially mixing together what nature sets apart.

suggesting all living things

All (perceivable) sets each one (perception) free from one another, hence different perspectives. A jew utilizes suggestion to tempt gentiles to ignore perception, which binds free will of choice among gentiles to a chosen ones suggestion.

Perception implies life; suggestion implies corpus-oration by a jew; carried as a dead language within living gentiles, hence establishing the living dead.

claims of auras and discharges

a) Dis (life) charge (inception towards death)...it's ones claim which contradicts that. A division (potential) within a charge (procession) cannot take any possessions...unless holding onto each other.

b) Au'ra aka air, hence nature inhaling (inception) and exhaling (death) each aorta (life) aka each artery (blood vessel).

Vahid huh. I bet Whites did the actual work.

This has been talked about forever

its probably just electricity.
lightbulbs do the same thing.

[ - ] Her0n 1 point 3 hoursMay 14, 2025 12:21:46 ago (+1/-0)

It is. Electrons get transfered through natural processes that would only take place while the organism is alive. When electrons use energy to return to a stable orbit they emit the energy spent as light. This is the fundamental principle on how the lights we power work.

This will undoubtedly bring in the "it's proof of muh sooool!" Group though.

Confirmation bias is a bitch, isn't it?

Still could be the "soul" but the soul as understood as an electrical gathering, which when contained in a biological vessel, performs the functions of a living entity. It doesn't make it sentient, in fact, its far more horrifying to think of this as the soul,because that means its the electrons that once comprised a soul, dispersing.

Sure, back to source and all that happy horseshit maybe... but reality concludes more likely that this dispersal effectively eliminates the entity. Not so much a death as a well.. dispersal. All the parts still exist, but not together and no longer functioning as a whole. That whole, that entity, gone. just gone. It went places, but it doesnt go to the same places, because it no longer is an entity.

No one ever asks "where does RAM go when it dies" we simply accept that the electrons are freed from their prison and no longer represent meaningful data. Every bit of that former data entity still exists, nothing was destroyed except the meaning it held.

I think the study that shows the body gets lighter upon death because of the soul leaving the body is a little more facinating

[ - ] TheNoticing 1 point 4 hoursMay 14, 2025 11:18:00 ago (+1/-0)

Isn't that a major subject in one of Dan Brown's books?

[ - ] Her0n 1 point 3 hoursMay 14, 2025 12:19:02 ago (+1/-0)

The scientist studying it wants that 21 grams to be the soul, I know that lol.

Strange that no one else can replicate and hasn't even bothered to check into it...

[ - ] Stonkmar 0 points 3 hoursMay 14, 2025 11:56:46 ago (+0/-0)

Ever seen the movie "21 Grams"?
That's the weight difference between living and dead.

[ - ] Her0n 1 point 3 hoursMay 14, 2025 12:17:56 ago (+1/-0)

How much is 21 grams in ounces?

Why does a soul have weight?

I have more questions to ask you but I don't want to overwhelm.

i also emit gas

you are a beacon to us all

Ultra weak photons? That's called infrared. Aka body heat. Yes, that does stop after death.

[ - ] Prairie 2 points 8 hoursMay 14, 2025 06:37:53 ago (+2/-0)

My assumption as well, but they kept the bodies heated to the same temperature after death:

They were warmed to body temperature even after death, to keep heat from being a variable.

Sounds like some chemical reactions give off very faint visible light. Ultrasonic cavitation in water does this, for example. It's not hard to believe that some things give off a few photons, just very faint. It would be an interesting diagnostic technique if it could yield health information.

What'd they do, stick a dead mouse under a heat lamp?

[ - ] Reunto 1 point 8 hoursMay 14, 2025 06:59:24 ago (+1/-0)

Body heat radiates from the body, yes. External heating applied to the body would not.

You're right that body heat results from chemical processes.

It sounds very neat until you realize it's just a simple phenomenon explained in an eccentric way.

[ - ] Prairie 0 points 8 hoursMay 14, 2025 07:14:03 ago (+0/-0)

The body would emit black body radiation (long-wave infrared) regardless of the source of the heating.

Their "discovery" seems like those reports of toxic chemicals being found in everything, except that it's because our equipment is so sensitive these days that it can detect extremely small concentrations. In this case they're using essentially a photo multiplier (EMCCD) that looks like it can detect single photons.
