The Last Show with David Cooper
Daniel Oblak: You Emit A Visible Light - January 9, 2026

So let's enroll quantum mechanics and see if that could help.

And, you know, these spooky things that, you know, entanglement sounds a little bit like something like consciousness, but, you know, this is more like hypothesis.

And then we're looking for, okay, what is it that transmits this information?

The Last Show with David Cooper

And that's where these photons could come into play.

If

you know, all living processes, all living beings emit light even very dimly.

The Last Show with David Cooper

Well, let me say something unspooky.

The Last Show with David Cooper

Biochemistry.

Scary, yes, but spooky, not necessarily.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Daniel Oblak: You Emit A Visible Light - January 9, 2026

I mean, we could think of it a little bit like... So what is happening is that when we metabolize in our body, we're...

It's a form of combustion, right?

The Last Show with David Cooper
Daniel Oblak: You Emit A Visible Light - January 9, 2026

I mean, it's energy being converted from chemical energy to another form of energy.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Daniel Oblak: You Emit A Visible Light - January 9, 2026

And so it involves reaction, chemical reactions.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Daniel Oblak: You Emit A Visible Light - January 9, 2026

And some of these result in molecules that are in some excited states and they decay.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Daniel Oblak: You Emit A Visible Light - January 9, 2026

And a very small fraction of those emit a little bit of light.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Daniel Oblak: You Emit A Visible Light - January 9, 2026

So we can say that this is linked to metabolism, more specifically for those in the no reactive oxygen species.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Daniel Oblak: You Emit A Visible Light - January 9, 2026

And so really, it's a matter of measuring how much we metabolize.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Daniel Oblak: You Emit A Visible Light - January 9, 2026

And obviously, when we die, we don't metabolize.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Daniel Oblak: You Emit A Visible Light - January 9, 2026

So that thing goes away.

But there's also other things that create reactive oxygen species or other similar free radicals, and that could be stress responses.
