Study shows when the 'aura' fades when a person dies

A team of scientists from the University of Calgary in Canada recently published a study in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, revealing what happens to internal light when vital functions of the human body are permanently shut down.
According to the information discovered by researchers, living beings emit luminous radiation , which although imperceptible to the human eye, turns out to be a phonetically weak emission.

In this regard, the group of experts pointed out that this type of microscopic glow is produced by internal metabolic processes and disappears when the body stops functioning, which is why it is considered the "moment when life becomes extinct."
To conduct this study, the team led by Professor Dan Oblak used several highly sensitive digital cameras with EMCCD and CCD sensors to observe the behavior of this phenomenon in rats and plants in more detail.

According to the scientific publication, this light emission comes from light particles generated by the body's cells , also known as biphotons, which are usually invisible to humans, despite having an intensity of 10 to 1,000 photons.
In this regard, the researchers ensured that the temperature and light conditions were the same for the subjects studied to avoid any interference, which led them to realize that once biological death occurs in a living being, the emission abruptly disappears.

While the scientists' discovery revolutionizes various fields of study, it also has a practical component : it will allow people to noninvasively measure the amount of light emitted by a patient, thereby making faster diagnoses.
Accordingly, experts believe that by constantly monitoring the light signatures of each organism's cellular metabolism, it will be easier to detect various diseases without the need for tissue damage or surgical intervention.

Furthermore, it's possible that over time, research on people's auras will advance to the point where doctors will be able to more closely monitor how the body accepts treatments.
The findings of this research are relevant to the scientific community, as they create a versatile and minimally invasive diagnostic tool for determining situations with high-level precision.
