JackR Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I’m curious about the experience of a family member. They were with a female family member when she died. They made eye contact as she breathed her last breath, and saw a blue flash of light glow in her eyes and then leave her body. I was wondering if anyone has experienced a similar thing, or if this blue light can be explained by physics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There is nothing in physics - or indeed biology - that would account for the emission of light from the eyes, seeing as eyes are designed not to emit it but to absorb it.

It should seem suspicious that this hasn't been detected and monitored generally, considering how a dying person is so often hooked up to multiple machines and surrounded by loved ones watching them intently. Anomalies of light seen by a single person are easily explained in virtually every situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autistic girl Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 A "soul" is our combined being. It is not something metaphysical. So when we die, our "soul" dies with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his family member either a) lied b) hallucinated due to the grief or c) if we are going to be technical it could've just been an illusion created by light reflecting in his family member's hypothetical tears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo! You're on the right track lady! What was the cause of death? Exposure to radioactivity? Radium glows and are used in watches to light up the hour markers. Then there's the possibility that seems rather far out viz. bioluminescence. Was the deceased a failed test subject in a secret government experiment?

In those watches and other similar uses, radium decays and the emitted alpha particle strikes a phosphor, which is what emits the light. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_paint#radioluminescent_paint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
