leemond80 avatar@leemond809hHumans Actually Glow: The Science of UPEThis article delves into the intriguing phenomenon of humans emitting a dim glow, known as Ultraweak Photon Emission (UPE). This glow is a byproduct of cellular metabolism, akin to a car engine's exhaust, and is visible brightest around 4:00 PM when the body is most active. The glow ceases at the moment of death, as energy consumption stops. Research is exploring UPE's potential in medical diagnostics, such as detecting cancer cells and measuring biological aging.

Within 48 hours, they established a currency, a legal system, and a religion, demonstrating how quickly complex societies can form when intelligence is left unchecked. The experiment highlights the suppression of individuality and the prioritization of collective efficiency over individual freedom.
