Bosco-d-gama Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Just over a century ago a physician named McDougall theorized that a ‘soul’ should have mass and therefore able to be measured as weight. So he concocted experimental design to make such a measurement and conducted a study which concluded that the soul weighs around 21 ounces. Needless to say the work was embraced by some and scoffed at by others. Scientifically the work was foundationally flawed on many levels and simply did not have merit. Today we have an emerging field called ‘quantum metrology’ also called quantum sensing. Generally speaking this endeavor deploys devices which can measure speeds, weights, etc - on subatomic scales and purportedly are 100 million times more sensitive than their traditional counterparts. They can measure weights of less than single atoms and are finding a myriad of practical applications. Recently it was reported that sound actually has particles and that those particles defy gravity. Should McDougalls’ work be updated? Could a quantum sensor determine if a ‘soul’ has weight or any other measurable existence? Imagine the results on either side of the question: If the soul has ‘existence’ then what, if not what then? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES! Or as Einstein put it "Spooky action at a distance"! The Akashic Records can explain this! AKA Indra's Net Of Jewels! But this is not necessarily in the Physical Plane, but the Ethereal Plane, and contain not only the "blueprint" of your soul and a record past, present and future of your soul's "journey" if you will. You ask "If not, what then?" YES! :-) John Kuthe, Climate Activist, Akashic Traveler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco-d-gama Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 If the effort were made I'd doubt if the results would be quantified even using such finely tuned sensors. Rather I believe that they may demonstrate the presence of ‘something’ which could be related to the loss of a living state. Consider an isolation chamber wherein all things that might emanate from a ‘being’ could be ‘sensed’ whilst all external variables could be accounted for (and eliminated). Thus we might realize the baseline normal state of ‘life’ and then perhaps ‘sense’ the occurrence of death and define a unique quality occuring only at the moment of death. This would suggest that a definable quality exists during life that ‘leaves’ as the purpose of living ends. As more data is gathered they may define how much of this ‘quality’ is associated with death. At this juncture the tantalizing question would be does that value vary individually. Do bigger people emit a greater volume? Or, conversely would this be the same for all peoples regardless of any variable? And....... would this be sensed during the demise of any living entity?
