We come across issues lik this in our daily life.Some times, we believe things with our eyes closed. And most of the times,we don think in the same way as others do and really need not to be.We have our own ways and own policies that we believe in.,and which leads to arguments and some times misunderstandings too.We strongly set in our way that we say about some things as "ridiculous,superstitious etc.."And rarely are things which we don know to accept or oppose.One of such mysteries,i came to know recently(many of u wud ve known this before) starts lik this "Does the human soul weigh 21 grams?!!"
To know about this,i started googling.They say, theories were written and scientific tests have been conducted about this topic in the past.They believed for thousands of years that the human soul has physical presence.Is it so?!! Dr. Duncan MacDougall of Haverhill in Massachusetts experimented about this and he got positive results..He conducted his tests in 6 patients.One of his patients,after the moment of his death,lost weight by nearly 21 grams.He concluded as the weight of a human body differs by 21 grams before and after death.
But several issues have been there after this experiment like
"six samples is not enough for this test,
one of the six samples only gave the good results,and
how precise was the test about the moment of death?(even now with sophisticated technology,its difficult to predict)"
So,the discussion goes like this and ends as we surely leave something behind us ,the impact what others ve had on us.....
And if anyone knows more about this topic,u leave your valuable info....
Additionally,there s a movie called "21 grams" by Alejandro ...

Amazing yaar :) :)
ReplyDeletethe thing which we people didnt notice these many days...
the topic is interesting .... :) :) :)
let me create one doubt here... :P :P
when i read this i remembered tamil song lyrics
"காற்றடைத்த பையடா" (jaathi malli, gemini)
"Human body is filled with air" this statement is accepted by everyone right? then thats it....
during death losing weight is not that much surprising (i.e losing air, without breath) :P :P :P :P .....
My doubt is.... whether that lost air is soul???!!!!
hehehhe Naangalum yosipomla..... :P :P :P
aama :) that lost air is soul:)
ReplyDeletewhat we come to know by research n studies all were written by our great writers..we need to know more from their works:)
fine talking over things we dont know is really nice :) :) .....
ReplyDeletec again y u r taking that as soul ... simply the breathing process is stopped..... the breath we hold is 21 grams......
to prove we have to search from the begining ... before birth......
etho nammala mudinja alavu kulapanumla hehehehehheh :P :P :P :P :P
