I find that these days , and increasingly as I get older , that most humans tend more to suck the life and light out of me more than emit it ... lol.gif

This study establishes that UPE can act as a sensitive indicator of vitality in animals and of stress responses in plants.

 

Finally; I can retire my scientific poking stick.

Perhaps a side effect of being made of "star stuff".

Our bodies emit heat (infrared) , our brains have electrical impulses which can be measured by external means, so yeah, when we die, all that shuts off.

Another proof that you can absolutely judge the book by its cover. We all know people whom we met and felt like they bring us happiness, and those whom we dislike from the moment we met them.

It takes years of 'practise' in analyzing a person's stature and there are certain self affirming 'tests' a person can mentally perform while in conversation with 'a new book' by simply observing their moral compass.

We aren't always right when making first impressions but after a few meetings/conversations you begin to form a more refined opinion.

 

"Light to Dark" has relevance here and that old saying rings true in our interactions with friends, family, neighbours and those of whom we've just met whether online or in person and throughout every hour of every day.

A better title for this article would be "new camera takes picture of a process discovered in the 1970's". This isn't anything new - that biological redox reactions occasionally produce photons is well known...and like most other things biological, it stops when the organism dies. We just have cameras now that are sensitive enough to take pictures of it. Previously we had to use specialized PMTs to count the photons emitted.

There's an acronym for these, commonly seen in marketing, corporate meetings, military briefings, and self-help books. VMCs they're called. It stands for Vast Meaningless Chart. There are a million more where that one came from.

Good question,

 

For those of us that have worked in and around the legal system,

And it is the legal system who's responsible for finding people "after they die",

 

The first clue starts with accessing the expired's phone records.

And It does not matter whether people expire with phone in hand or not,

For it's the expired's phones active tracking and personnel phone use that comes into play.

Keeping this in mind, 95% of cell phone users take their mobile phones everywhere they go.

 

This means that of all of the ~8 billion cell phones out there, they are logging your every footstep,

every corner you turn, every walk you take and every time you go to Walmart.

This is whether you *think you have turned tracking off or just tucked the phone in the cars glove box.

 

 

-When a person expires, their phone ceases to log their movements, words and texts.

 

So any and every law enforcement agency (or court of law) (and again, whether you like it or not) simply asks the 'phone company' for data at which point they can precisely find and see where the expired person last walked or rode with his/her phone.

 

To summarize, the chronological end of the list of mobile tracking will be the most likely place to start looking.

 

Now perhaps we should also keep in mind that their are many corrupt politicians, agencies, cops, people in high places and/or you name that can make that phone history disappear,

It'$ Almost Like Magic!$

By no means does every person with a 'phone have a 'smartphone' tracking and listening to their every breathing moment.

 

If law-enforcement were to be granted access my 'phone records they'd be mightily disappointed and certainly none the wiser as to my whereabouts or indeed my physical state.

 

They would actually probably come to the conclusion that I expire on a regular basis as it probably gets used once a week at the very most ... lol.gif

congrats on being amongst the 5 percent that by no means represents the majority.
For those that live and work in and around the law,

Many Criminal investigations open doors that you couldn't imagine even exist,

Especially in high profile coroner related 'suspicious inquiries'.

3 letter agencies are no fools, State and even certain large city forces also carry weight.

And even though I'm long retired somewhere up north, somebodies always gotta do it.

Believe what you wish, and yes your phone is on 24/7 unless the battery is dead.

 

BTW, how are you liking your new found freedom of Speech?

Too bad the people over yonder don't have a second amendment

as at least you'd be able to protect yourself from tyranny

or could it be that maybe UK is happy enough with

the usual broken bottles at close range.

 

I'm older too and smarter than my iphone in that it seldom leaves the house.

Older people have different reasons for not being addicted for fear of missing an lol

-not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

And "it's" not all about thinking your life is boring, It's about the over reach of authority,

And that's why some countries and peoples have and believe in a bill of rights/Amendments.

UK not so much,

and as I understand it, up until 2020 they didn't even have the right to protect themselves from government overreach and or tyranny using a bottle when the beeb came knocking at their door wondering about your Television License.

So at least you don't have to cough up 175 quid every year so at least there's that.

My 'phone has buttons to press that allow me the luxury of , if I so wish , engaging in a purely verbal conversation with someone of my choosing.

my phone has a dial and the one in the shop has a "crank",

not unlike the cranks under marshall law  over there.

 

And my second amendment rights are kept in a cabinet

and not in a fridge waiting to be drank and broken off near the neck

 

I suspect you neither have a clue of what life is like outside uk

nor have a clue of those a half a world away and/or who or what they do or have done.

 

And that's fine,

If you didn't like the reply I made to Mister T's very  poignant question, that's not my problem

and there was no need to be provoke or make snide comment.

And after all, Just like yourself, I would not have or give a clue about your profession

as a cobbler not unlike how you underestimate those a half a world away

in enforcement/investigation/courts and law (among other).

 

'Cheerio and here's hoping you get the last word in
