Radiolab
The Spark of Life

And this could be like memories.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

Is it like signals?

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

Why can't a thought be transported in the form of light?

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

And it kind of, you know, if we're really thinking far ahead, are these photons involved in trying to help us understand consciousness?

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

What myself and a few other people are doing is, the photons are there.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

Can we use it to discriminate between things?

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

if they're at the very least tied to metabolism, are they photonic biomarkers?

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

Like, can I say, I know that's a heart.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

I know that's a tumor.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

I know that's a kidney.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

At the very least, can we do that?

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

And so what I'm trying to do is use that for cancer.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

So for cancer use, we know that cancer have dysfunctional mitochondria or non-normal mitochondria.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

So from there, can you imagine if when at the very beginning inception, we can pick up that early change as soon as they happen, as soon as they're different from their healthy counterparts.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

If we can pick up that using photons, that means we can pick up cancer as early as the inception point.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

We don't need to have an accumulation of molecules and mutations.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

We don't have to wait that long.
