And yeah, there are unanswered questions in neuroscience, you know, the question of consciousness, the question of anesthesia and the binding problem where you can say, okay,
this is not really answered.
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?
And that's where these photons could come into play.
If
all living processes, all living beings emit light even very dimly.
Well, let me say something unspooky.
Biochemistry.
Scary, yes, but spooky, not necessarily.
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?
I mean, it's energy being converted from chemical energy to another form of energy.
And so it involves reaction, chemical reactions.
And some of these result in molecules that are in some excited states and they decay.
And a very small fraction of those emit a little bit of light.
So we can say that this is linked to metabolism, more specifically for those in the no reactive oxygen species.
And so really, it's a matter of measuring how much we've been metabolized.
And obviously, when we die, we don't metabolize.
