21 grams ...

Remember the movie 21 grams ... In the beginning, I think, the guy says "They say we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death ... everyone. The weight of a stack of nickels. The weight of a chocolate bar. The weight of a hummingbird..."

I had this conversation with my cousin the other day when she told me she saw something very interesting about this on discovery channel some time back ... Apparently they did research into how much a soul weighs ... now this has been in my mind for quite a while so i decided to do a little bit of my own research tonight!

A doctor Duncan MacDougall did this research in 1906 and found the soul to weigh about three-fourths of an ounce ... How true is this? Do our souls actually weigh something? And surely, if they have weight they must be having some chemical composition? But anyway, this doctor says he proved the existense of the soul ... The Quraan has spoken of this over a thousand years ago ... But you know scientists ... for them 'seeing is believing' ...

Has anyone done any research into this topic in today's times, 100 years after Dr MacDougall? Surely with the technology available today they could come up with some conclusive scientific evidence... not that we need evidence, but it is very interesting !!
