Our bodies make a flow of low energy photons throughout our lives. But when we die, this ghostly glow is erased.
All living beings constantly emit a ghostly shine.
But this imperceptible glow-which is thought to be the result of a process called ultra-fresso emission of photons- disappears when we die.
However, as it refers, these “biophotons” are extremely difficult to detect and separate from other biological processes or sources of light, such as the radiation produced by any hot object.
To pick up the ‘flagrant’ phenomenon, a new investigation isolated what happens to these biophotons when an animal dies, photographing the emission of ultra-fressed photons in an entire rat before and after his death.
The great conclusion of the study, at the end of April in the The Journal of Physical Chemistry Lettersthat emission of biofotons decreased significantly after the death of the entire rat.
The investigators also took photographs of umbrella tree leaves (Heptapleurum arboricola) who had cut and found that the plant’s injury repair mechanism increased the emission of biophoton, while several drugs applied to the surface of the plant, such as benzocaine, a narcotic drug, also seemed to do the same.
This was the first time this was in a “whole animal” – explained the investigation leader Daniel Oblkfrom the University of Calgary, Canada.
Michal Cipherfrom the Academy of Czech Sciences, in Prague, who was not involved in the study, explained to New Scientist that the absence of biophotons after death is mainly due to the Lack of blood flow in the bodybecause oxygen -rich blood is one of the main engines of metabolism that produces biophotons.
If the blood had been kept to artificially circulate, they would continue to observe the same emission of biophotons, ”he explained. “It is not related to the systemic liveliness, but to the optically affordable fabric liveliness“.
As researchers refer, technology can one day be used to Monitor live tissues without conducting invasive tests, or to monitor the health of forests at night.
“It’s just a completely passive monitoring process,” said Oblak.
