Light at the end of the tunnel is real: living creatures stopped emitting a pale light after death

Scientists have managed to record and confirm the existence of ultra-weak photon radiation emitted by living beings and its disappearance after death. In the experiment, scientists used mice and plants to prove that living organisms do emit biophotons that disappear when the organism dies.

For decades, the phenomena associated with bioluminescence and chemiluminescence have been discussed in scientific circles, but most of these phenomena have only been observed under special conditions or in laboratory reactions. In real conditions, in natural life, the intensity of this radiation is so low that it is difficult to detect, and the surrounding electromagnetic activity and thermal radiation interfere with accurate measurement. A team led by researcher Wahid Salari from Canada was able to detect biophotons emanating from living tissue.

Scientists believe that the radiation is produced by reactions involving reactive oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide, that form in cells during stress, injury, or metabolic processes. These reactions cause the release of an electron, which returns to its original orbital, emitting a photon. The result is a weak but measurable radiation that can be used to monitor tissue health and even diagnose disease.

To confirm the hypothesis, the scientists conducted a series of experiments on mice and plants. In particular, they used a charge-coupled device and cameras capable of recording the weakest photon signals. The experiment involved four mice, which were placed in a dark chamber and observed for an hour. After that, the animals were euthanized and observations continued for another hour. During this time, the scientists recorded a decrease in the radiation level, which indicated that their generation ceased after death.

The results were striking: living mice emitted significantly more radiation than dead mice, and it rapidly declined after death. Similar experiments were conducted on plant leaves, such as watercress and dwarf umbrella trees. In both cases, tissue damage or exposure to chemicals led to increased luminescence that persisted for 16 hours, confirming the link between reactive oxygen species and radiation.

“These discoveries support the hypothesis that living organisms, including humans, do emit weak electromagnetic radiation that disappears upon death,” the experts explain.
