The weight of the soul.
2 November : In remembrance of all my beloved ones.
*******************************************
Many people like to believe in the idea of a soul, and we often look to the empirical world to bolster our religious or spiritual beliefs, searching for corroborating physical evidence. Just such scientific proof seemed to come in 1907,when a Massachusetts doctor named Duncan MacDougall devised experiments that he expected would actually measure the soul. Using six terminally ill patients on a specially-constructed scale bed, he measured their weight before, during, and after death. His results were mixed, but he concluded that there was indeed a very slight loss of weight, 21 grams on average.

If I had such wings.......
belle semaien Annemarie !
Bonne semaine Annemarie !
(sconcertante pensare che l'anima abbia un peso...)
Beautiful shot
Congrats on Explore.
En la época actual, el recuerdo de los difuntos es selectivo según determinados factores culturales, religiosos, políticos y hasta económicos. Se sale totalmente de la esfera familiar, del vínculo generacional que proviene del mismo tronco.
Un excelente recuerdo Annemarie.
Muy cordialmente.
Eduardo.
(Per quanto riguarda l'esperimento che hai citato è un esempio di quanto babbei siano certi pseudoscienziati. L'anima, se esiste, certo non ha un peso misurabile... (:-)
Congratulations on Explore Front page, my friend, and have a wonderful week :-))
Beautiful.
But.. I dont believe the "soul/spirit" can be weighed.
(By the way, I thought it could be good news for our times so cultivating the body: there is no thick and thin of souls.)
;-)
I wish you beautiful day, my friend !
A great tribute....
i see a wonderful image !

I had read something about that experiment ...
Irgendwie auch tröstlich.
Don't forgetting that the word soul is a purely religious concepte. We must be found a special LABORATORY devoid of MATTER for the success of experiance !
Look : Man creates the computer. One wonders if the computer is able to understand who is man ? The poor computer will tell us a man is : screen, keyboard, mouse, and CPU, RAM... etc ?
It's great in the photo, the heart travel in the sky ! The soul seeks his origin, our creator the inconceivable !
