Living beings emit a faint light that extinguishes upon death, according to a new study

The light of someone's life might not be just another person, but light in the literal sense. According to a recent study by researchers from University of Calgary, every living system emits light without requiring external excitation due to a biological phenomenon known as ultraweak photon emission (UPE).

    Anything that’s warm emits light, both organic and inorganic.
