When in that timescale does this signature end?

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

And that would be really cool.

Radiolab

When does the glow stop when you're dead?

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

For example, in hospice care, people report this death flash.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

I originally heard about this when I went to a consciousness conference and there was this cardiothoracic surgeon.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

He would say that he's seen it or his staff in the OR has seen this very sudden flash of light.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

And I'm like, you have OR lights everywhere.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

That's where I initially heard it and I looked into it a little bit.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

And there's hospice nurses that have anecdotally mentioned this.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

These are reports.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

Are there any experimental evidence?

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

They're anesthesiologists.

Radiolab

Why would there be a big explosion of light you could suddenly see?

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

Well, when things die, there's a sudden release of these electrons.

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

They're not being propagated into certain proteins, right?

Radiolab
The Spark of Life

These electrons have nowhere to go.

Radiolab

And so when you have high energy photons dissipating, release is late.
