“It is his dream to democratize it,” says Meredith Oke, introducing electromagnetic biophysicist Michal Cifra and his vision to build a Global Human Biophoton Atlas on the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast. What if measuring the invisible light our bodies emit—a phenomenon called “biological autoluminescence”—could reveal how healthy and resilient we truly are?
In this eye-opening episode, Michal Cifra, team leader at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, explains the startling reality: every living organism emits light, not metaphorically, but in actual, measurable photons. Drawing from nearly two decades of research (and hands-on stories of sleeping in darkrooms to measure his own glow), Michal Cifra reveals how these emissions aren’t merely curious side effects: they correlate with stress, age, illness, and even our state of mind.
But Michal Cifra reaches further—his new project invites practitioners and the public worldwide to help map human biophotonic emissions. Imagine having a non-invasive marker for true biological age or systemic health, tracked across the globe. Could monitoring our “shine” become the next revolution in preventative medicine?
Tune in to the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast for a deep dive into cutting-edge biophysics, the mysteries (and limits) of cellular light communication, and the chance to participate in the dawn of a new health paradigm—where your body’s inner light just might be the key to longevity and wellness.
Memorable Quotes"There is a physical light being emitted directly from the object. If you put your hand under a sensitive camera, you will see exactly the same shape of the light, with some interesting details—there’s a spatial property, so the light is not always completely homogeneous in intensity. It is real, measurable light, though so weak we cannot see it with the naked eye."
"As we age, we shine more. Our dominant hand tends to shine more. The extremities—feet and hands—tend to shine more than flat surfaces. People who are stressed shine more, while long-term meditators typically shine less. It’s tightly coupled to oxidative stress and our body's ability to maintain homeostasis."
"My ultimate goal within 15 years, by the end of my career, is to have a million subjects measured all over the world using an ambassador network and collecting this data. That way, everyone will know that organisms emit light, and we can start from there, thinking further."Connect with Michal
