We Emit a Visible Light that Vanishes when We Die, Says Surprising New Study
- A 2025 study led by Dr. Daniel Oblak at the University of Calgary showed that living mice emit ultraweak photon emission light, which ceases immediately after death.
- The team investigated UPE as a natural byproduct of metabolic oxidative stress that generates unstable molecules like reactive oxygen species within cells.
- Using specialized electron-multiplying cameras in total darkness, the researchers showed that live mice emitted significantly more light over an hour compared to their euthanized counterparts which emitted none.
- Dr. Oblak clarified that while the idea of an aura belongs to the realm of metaphysics and lacks scientific support, the faint light naturally produced by living organisms is scientifically valid, emphasizing UPE’s promise as a non-invasive approach for monitoring biological health.
- The findings suggest UPE could become a method to remotely assess health and stress in tissues, crops, and organisms, though the exact biological purpose of UPE remains uncertain.

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 li…
