  Just luminescence.

    they are technically still bio related

      I’m out of my depth now.

  Thermal conduction.

    non answer, my skin is warm due to thermal conduction from the inside of the body, skin itself generates heat from metabolism, but very little compared with the organs/muscles

      Thermal energy is still bioluminescence. Ask a pit viper. Sea creatures create visible light bioluminescence because they have no body temperature.

      Also, I have no idea wtf you are talking about. Every living cell in your body generates heat. Correct, some cells use more energy than others but there is the identical machinery inside every cell.

        Besides basic housekeeping machinery, different cells are very different, especially when talking about their metabolism.

        Adiposites are practically dead, as they have very little metabolism, while liver and brains are very active, muscles too when being used. skin has very little metabolism, and the epidermis (outer skin layer) has absolutely no metabolism.

        I could talk more, got a cell biology degree and a phd in genomics. but I’m at the ivory throne and don’t want my legs to stop their metabolism due to the seat stopping the blood flow.
