A new study out of Canada says something strange and beautiful: we glow while we’re alive.
Not metaphorically. Literally.
A soft, almost invisible light comes off our bodies. It’s called an ultra-weak photon emission. Say that three times fast.
This light radiates from living tissue. Scientists have seen it in mice. In leaves. And when life ends, the light goes out.
It’s not like a flashlight beam. Think shimmer. Something that fades as we do.
I know how it sounds. Fringe. Maybe even silly.
But it’s real research. And even if it’s just chemistry—a byproduct of cells doing their work—it’s still kind of breathtaking.
A reminder that we’re radiant in ways we don’t fully grasp.
So what do you think? Do we really glow?
And if we do, what kind of light are we putting out?
What color would you want yours to be?
