The advanced technology in life forms at the bottom of the sea

The electric light bulb was invented by Edison in 1879 following hundreds of experiments.
Edison's technique was based on a simple logic, and of course the first light bulbs had only a
very short life span. This problem has today been resolved, and some electric light bulbs can last
for many years. But there is still one problem that has not been solved: normal bulbs have an ef-
ficiency level of only 10%, and some 90% of the energy is wasted. This represents a significant

energy loss.

All the light in the universe is basically produced in the same way. Electrons play the main
role in light production. When an electron absorbs energy, it deposits an energy packet known
as a photon in an upper orbit and passes on to a lower orbit. The electrons in the Sun, or those
shining in a light bulb are affected thermally. That is why light also gives off heat. While 3% of
the energy turns into light, the remaining 97% is lost in the form of heat.

The solution to this problem is being sought in nature, because there are life forms in natu-
re that manufacture light with an efficiency level of 100%. The electrons in the “cold light” or
bioluminescence produced by many life forms in nature perform a chemical reaction that relea-
ses no heat. In contrast to the light bulb, almost 100% of the energy in the chemical process of
bioluminescence is turned into light, and no loss of energy takes place.

One of the most striking examples of bioluminescent technology is to be found in the oce-
ans. The light technology used by light-emitting fish, jellyfish, sea urchins and some shellfish is
so perfect as to amaze scientists.

Although the techniques that all these life forms employ to emit light are similar, they are
not exactly the same. However, their common feature is that, unlike human beings, they do not

have to use giant power plants, generators or batteries to manufacture light. The light techno-
logy in living things at the bottom of the ocean has none of the disadvantages of the systems
used by human beings: there is no noise, no power disruptions, no heat given off and no harm-
ful waste products.

There is a highly important point to the fact that every living thing in the universe, great or
small, is equipped with characteristics requiring a very high level of knowledge and intelligen-
ce. Those who seek the source of this sublime intelligence in life forms with no consciousness
are making a grave error. Any such “work” obviously points to an “intelligence” that produced
it. The life forms that possess such stunning characteristics are all manifestations of the omnis-
cience and matchless power of Almighty Allah, their Creator.
