You’ll be shock if you found out
what this doctor found when he weighed the human soul. This man has determine
the weight of human soul. Regarding how sensational what his done during that
time, It’s quite interesting to hear his story. Some fun fact that I’ve just
discover on wackulus.com, lets see!!
Experiment on the dead
and conclude his first postulate
( Image : blog.onbeing.org )
In 1907, Dr. Duncan MacDougall found a bunch of people who
were about to die and weighed them as they expired. Dr. MacDougall’s plan was
to determine when death was hours away, and to place the entire bed on a huge
scale that was sensitive to “two-tenths of an ounce”. After all patients had
passed, Dr. MacDougall determined that uniform weight loss of 3/4 of an ounce
had occurred in each one. He claimed that at the point of death, the bodies
became lighter. He assumed that lost weight was the escaping soul. From this he
concluded that a human soul weighed 21 grams. He even postulated that soul of
the sluggish in life are slow in death
Of course many scientists was denied his
postulated during that time

On March 10, 1907, before MacDougall’s results were published in
the New York Times. Later in the year they were published in
the Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research and the medical
journal American Medicine.
At the time, several physicians countered the
test results with possible explanations, such as the final exhalation, body
sweat, and changes in body density. MacDougall argued back, stating that
he had conducted separate tests for each those items and had seen loss, but
none were significant enough nor happened quickly enough to cause a change of
21 grams at the time of death.
Nowdays his theory can’t be develop yet

Today’s scientists and doctors primarily
dismiss the results of the test. The sample size was too small, the
equipment was not sensitive enough, and MacDougall generally ignored the
results that did not fit his theory. The physicist Robert L. Park has
written MacDougall’s experiments “are not regarded today as having any
scientific merit” and the psychologist Bruce Hood wrote that “because the
weight loss was not reliable or replicable, his findings were unscientific.”
He can’t finished his next project

After this experiment,
MagDougall began a project with the goal of photographing the soul as it
left the body. Dr. MacDougall failed to
establish any scientific breakthroughs, and passed away in 1920.
