Scientists find your aura, new agers not impressed

A team of Japan­ese researchers have pho­tographed actual light par­ti­cles emit­ted from liv­ing humans.  Thus con­firm­ing through “sci­ence” what hip­pies have known all along.  These pho­tons dif­fer from infrared light, which every­one already knows about, and is caused by heat radi­a­tion.  We’re talk­ing about honest-to-goodness LIGHT.  On the order of roughly 0.000001 lumens or can­dela, or can­dle­power.  Basi­cally, you need a crazy-sensitive cam­era to see this stuff.  Or maybe just an open 3^rd eye.

“If you can see the glim­mer from the body’s sur­face, you could see the whole body condition,”

The team hopes that these images can help in med­ical diag­no­sis.  I see the tech­nol­ogy as a poten­tial gold­mine: image “auric” pho­to­booths!  I can see bars and board­walks with these chintzy woo-woo lit­tle booths that snap shots of your glow in full sat­u­rated color.  Like mood rings, only unnec­es­sar­ily com­pli­cated and pro­hib­i­tively expensive.
