Spontaneous Ultra-Weak Photon Emission from Human Hands Is Time Dependent

Ultra-weak photon emission in the visible range
was measured on palm and dorsal side of left and right
hand by means of a low noise photomultiplier system. To
study the dynamics of this photon emission in a 24 h period
photon emission was recorded in 2 h intervals in 5
experiments, utilizing strict protocols for dark adaptation
and recording of subjects.

Fluctuations in photon emission in the course of 24 h
period were demonstrated for each anatomic location.
Mean photon emission over the 24 h period differed both
between subjects and hand locations. To detect a pattern in
the fluctuations the mean value for each location of each
subject in each experiment was utilized to calculate
fluctuations during the course of 24 h for each anatomical
location.

The fluctuations in photon emission in the course of 24 h
were more at dorsal sides than palm sides. The correlation
between fluctuations in palm and dorsal side was not ap-
parent. During the 24 h period a change in left-right
symmetry occurred for the dorsal side but not for the palm
of the hands. Photon emission at the left dorsal location
was high at night, while the right dorsal side emitted most
during the day.

It is concluded that a daily rhythm in photon emission can
be recorded from both the dorsal and palm sides of the
hands.
