Yes, a very very small amount that's linked to fluorescent components of the skin pigment melanin. This has absolutely nothing to do with DNA, and the concept of it "communicating" via light is just laughable.

flip · Post by **flip** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 2:33 pm

Dude, we release photons.

the pigment behind skin color, melanin, has fluorescent components that could enhance the body's miniscule light production.

"Could" "enhance" the body's "light production"

Your off a little even by your own source.

You know, it would be so much better around here if we could just reach a consensus "humans emit light" and then move on to possibilities. Not get all friggin weirded out and going "nay,nay,nay."

EDIT: Or maybe these photons just fall to the ground after being released

fliptw · Post by **fliptw** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 2:56 pm

Humans emit light as a side effect of the chemistry of life, as do other organisms.

Now, specifically in the link that top-gun uses, they never explored if photon emission is always occurring, or due to previous exposure to light - are we light bulbs or glow-in-the-dark stickers?

Yes, I didn't mention that the main cause of the effect is apparently reactions involving free radicals, but the end result is the same. It's a small effect that manifests as a barely-detectible glow. But that article you linked is spouting some nonsense about photon emissions "controlling" cell activity, which is just flat-out wrong. The rest of that website smacks pretty highly of quackery as well.

flip · Post by **flip** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 8:56 pm

Eh, that website is spouting stuff that remains to be seen. It is very possible that animals coordinate and communicate through photon emission/reception. It could also explain intuition. As far as seeing if there is sickness in the body by weak or abnormal emission is a great path too. FlipTW still makes a good point, are we just being reflective or actually producing light, because IF man actually produces a single photon and sends it into the atmosphere is very significant. Very.

Top Gun · Post by **Top Gun** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 9:13 pm

There's nothing that remains to be seen about it, flip. The entire gist of that page is one long string of pseudo-scientific babble. The articles cited in it certainly aren't legitimate scientific journals, and I can guarantee that none of these supposed experiments has been subjected to peer review. And oh wow...now that I actually read through the whole thing, it's even pushing homeopathy.

Look...we've been looking at cells and how they work for a long time now. We know how DNA encodes genetic information, how that genetic code is transcribed into RNA, how that RNA is used by ribosomes to construct proteins, and how those proteins carry out cellular processes. These are heavily-studied mechanisms, to the point that we can even artificially reproduce the individual steps ourselves. There's absolutely no room for some "magic photons" in there, not even if the concept made any sort of physical sense.

And no, humans emitting light isn't really significant. Interesting, perhaps, but a mere curiosity.

Tunnelcat · Post by **Tunnelcat** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 9:40 pm

There are many living things that have bioluminescence, so there does exist bioluminescent plasmid DNA that that will allow an organism to give off light. But maybe we're going too far with gene splicing. For example, producing genetically modified trees that glow at night, a la Avatar? Maybe even us? Cool!

Imagining is one thing, but basing those musings on sources that are flat-out factually wrong is quite another. You seem to conflate the two pretty regularly...this is hardly the first time that you've grabbed a link to the sort of crackpot site that the Internet is chock-full of, and then treated what it said like it's the equivalent of the most widely-accepted basic scientific principles. One of the most important aspects of learning anything at all is figuring out if the source you're learning from is a valid one or not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_family Did I get it right?

roid · Post by **roid** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:21 am

(Flip, I think you ment to post that Lee Family link in this thread.)

AFAIK everything produces photons: Most absorbed photonic radiation (ie: visible light, Xrays, etc) just gets retransmitted as IR frequency photons, doesn't it? When something is heated up enough it can produce higher frequency/energy photons like visible light. Things start to glow IR, red, white, blue, UV, then Xray (etc) as they get increasingly hotter.

the light emitting in the walls of cells you guys are talking about* is kinda cool, coz it means it's at least plausible for a biological mechanism to exist which already takes advantage of this. AFAIK there's no evidence that anything does take advantage of it, but hey this is a new discovery right? Who knows what subsequent discoveries may show up in the years to come now that we know what to look for.
(My guess is we'll sadly discover nothing, as the biological mechanism would have may parts that likely have no other apparent function - it would have inevitably lead researchers to the discovery of the light source, merely in their search for "what the hell is this cell receptor here built to listen to?!". ie: There's probably no receptors. ie: there's probably no biological mechanism that exploits the phenomenon)

(*I havn't read any of the articles yet, but i'm familiar with the light-communications concept from the 2nd link)

There is talk of engineering cells to be able to communicate very complex messages to eachother via phages. Using viruses as intercellular message couriers. http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/10/synthe ... gical.html
No light involved though

.
However, there is some progress in light-based wireless neural interfaces. They attach a light sensitive and/or light emitting component to a neuron (afaik the component can itself be living), and the neuron is then activated by light. It's great coz light emissions can travel some distance through the body's tissues, thus no wires are needed. By tuning the wavelengths each receptor is receptive to, you can gain complex fine control over large swaths of neurons, it could enable mind control (helpful or nefarious) among other impressive things. A mind-reading aspect of it can come into play when you add in light emitting components too, an individual cell can light up everytime it activates, compared to FMRIs the resolution could be unparalled. You could map entire connectomes.

re: Voice of God weapon. Are you talking about Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the temporal lobes? EG: the God Helmet? Just want to make sure you understand it's a device that physically manipulates the brain, and is thus used to illustrate the point that spirituality is a purely psychological phenomenon and in no way real in the physical world. It's not something i'd have expected you to bring up :-/.

I might come back and post again after i've read some of your posted articles.

The intercellular photonic communication notion reminds me of this idea:

That's all I'm saying, although it fits into my belief system a little differently than yours too.

The "Voice of God" weapon is a reality. They are using it now. They can use it to project a voice into someone's head, with the person standing right next to them hearing nothing. Now, that means nothing to me or you now, we have knowledge, but I imagine you get the "son of sam" or some like individual to do exactly what you tell him, after all God told him to do it. It has awesome potential for good too. Imagine your hostage and someone can give you directions of what to do, without alerting your captives at all. Still, alot of potential for misuse against the superstitious and unstable.

A photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force, even when static via virtual photons. The effects of this force are easily observable at both the microscopic and macroscopic level, because the photon has no rest mass; this allows for interactions at long distances.

I'm gonna ponder on this for awhile.

The benzo[e]pyrene (harmless to humans), allowed the UV light to pass through it unaltered.

Popp was puzzled by this difference, and continued to experiment with UV light and other compounds. He performed his test on 37 different chemicals, some cancer-causing, some not. After a while, he was able to predict which substances could cause cancer. In every instance, the compounds that were carcinogenic took the UV light, absorbed it and changed or scrambled the frequency.

This is a very bold claim. So what was the name of the study, where can i read it to verify these amazing results? This study needs to be cited, or as far as any rational reader should be concerned it didn't happen and the writer is playing hard and lose with the facts. The fact that the writer of this article can actually expect rational people to believe these bold claims WITHOUT citing the actual studies for verification, speaks volumes of both the low standards of the writer and the gullibility of his intended audience.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Exposures to environmental carcinogens and unhealthy lifestyle choices increase the incidence of breast cancer. One such compound, benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), leads to covalent DNA modifications and the deregulation of gene expression...

Disrupts...? eh?

"Olive oil protects rat liver microsomes against benzo(a)pyrene-induced oxidative damages: an in vitro study." from Department of Biotechnology, Alagappa University, Tamil Nadu, India...

Benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P), a member of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon family is present ubiquitously in the environment. One of its toxic effects is induction of oxidative stress (mediated by the enzyme B(a)P hydroxylase) which leads to various diseases like cancer. Olive oil (OO) that consists of many antioxidant compounds is reported to have many beneficial properties including protection against cancer....

It's the duty of the person making the claim to show the evidence that the claim is correct. It's no-one else's duty to waste their time trying to prove other people's crazy hypothesies right - you gotta do that yourself.

example: did you know i can fly?
Now you gotta waste your time to come over here and test it. Coz i mean - what if i can fly? That'd be pretty important to science if it were true.
No-one's ever tested me before.

Another stupid claim: my nextdoor neighbour can fly.
See - it can go on and on and on. Just because something could be true doesn't mean it's worth me wasting my time testing the idiotic theories of trolls.
Indeed, anything could be true, but so what.

In your proposed "proper science environment" the scientists don't have time to do any useful research and inquiry because they spend all their day testing a never ending supply of bull★■◆● nonsense hypothesies from every idiot under the sun. Basically every idiot who was herself too stupid to be able to learn howto test her own hypothesies, and thus lives her life by some arbitrary list of assumptions she has about the world.

And to add to that, the more out-there your claim is, the more data you're expected to provide backing it up, and the more details about exactly how you achieved your result. A well-published recent example was the experiment in which CERN scientists apparently observed neutrinos breaking the speed of light. Being good scientists, they broke down all the parameters of the experiment as thoroughly as they could, and asked other groups around the world to attempt to re-create their results. In the end, they figured out that a small timing error in the instrumentation was generating the anomalous readings. This is a great example of the scientific research method in action: if your experimental results aren't testable, repeatable, and falsifiable, they don't really mean anything.

And man, that paper is pretty fun.

All that is said about the person proposing the hypothesis is true, providing evidence and such, it was always my understanding that someone must write an actual paper and submit it to the proper authorities.

If this has not been done, then it’s just more internet BS.
