We actually glow. Pretty cool, huh? This is pretty interesting, really. I hope what they're saying about medical stuff at the end comes true.

What do you guys think about this?

Woohoo, we glow...............awesome.
If it helps cure certain things, I'm all for it.

 

[rokman]

Sounds reasonable that pregnant women "glow" because their metabolism would be fluctuating so much since the woman has to supply for 2 people!

 

[Team Cook]

I glow because I'm so dang good lookin'.

 

[LegacyEeveeVGC]

So then it is not because of the radiation?

 

[stevo0236]

I Glow Because Im On Fire

 

[Viva piñata]

lol i saw this on my local news i think it was intresting lol =]

 

[afstandopleren]

Finally, another theory proved by science. I wonder how long it took to believe that we actually do 'glow'.

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

Dude, WE are the ones radiating. Not by being affected by radiation. =P

So what your saying is that I am not going Super Saiyan? Gee thanks for ruining the feeling.

What I wonder..... Why do we spend time wondering if we glow when we get nothing good out of learning it and we can't possibly even see ourselves glowing?

 

[afstandopleren]

and what's the evolutionary purpose of glowing? This is 1 hard to answer question on my mind.

Glow in the dark??
Maybe in about 1000years we will evolve and the glowing could be seen with a naked eye.

The sun is going to go away and we are only going to live on moonlight, so we are going to have to glow to see when it's cloudy.

:nonono::nonono::nonono:

We glow beacuse ofthe sun. Without the sun would wouldn't have melatonin. Without Melatonin we wouldn't have body heat. Without body heat we would die. :nonono:

The sun is not going to disappear.:thumb:

Did you read the last part?

Since this faint light is linked with the body's metabolism, this finding suggests cameras that can spot the weak emissions could help spot medical conditions, said researcher Hitoshi Okamura, a circadian biologist at Kyoto University in Japan.
"If you can see the glimmer from the body's surface, you could see the whole body condition," said researcher Masaki Kobayashi, a biomedical photonics specialist at the Tohoku Institute of Technology in Sendai, Japan.~~~Article

I don't really think there is one. It's more like I byproduct.

......which is thought to be a byproduct of biochemical reactions involving free radicals.~~~Article

The Sun is a star. Stars die.

QFT. Eventually.... that would take a while though.

 

[amphy#1]

I've got that glow like Bruce Leeroy from the movie: The Last Dragon. I love That 80's movie.

Still, it must have some use. I mean, whatever isn't used, even byproducts, will be evolved out....right?

I don't really think byproducts can be eliminated by evolution. But I certainly don't have much education about this kind of stuff.

What would your body do with all the wastes after processing food?

 

[afstandopleren]

process it in feces and urine. Your body is also capable of chemically handling stuff. But that's only when you are very healthy, something that's not really availble in a world where people try to sell poison as food.
