What are some of the most interesting /sci/entific findings?
>>16381206Why would a soul have weight? This is on par with weighing someone and getting them to clear their mind to see if thoughts have weight as well.
>>16381230Good idea for an experiment tbhonest
>>16381236I would also like to know since thoughts could be conveyed by electrical activity
Today, I wanted to get rid of the beginning of a wasp nest, so I used my bare hands. Thank God I used my left hand, because it seems to me that this particular Australian wasp produces the stickiest naturally-occurring substance that I can think of, and it turns out water makes it stickier!Why don’t we farm these wasps like we farm bees but to make natural glue which isn’t damaging to the environment?
>>16381206>>16381230>>16381236>delete computer file>weigh computerlul
>>16381258I am stupid for not realising this wasn’t the new thread button. Now 4chan must punish me by not allowing post to be deleted until after 5 minutes so jannies can sniff out if I posted anything bannable.
>>16381206only one of the six patients lost weight, actually.stupid fuck
>>16381261It literally WOULD weigh less you Troglodyte
>>16381206>all of them had the same average>the same average>all of themdear lord.
>>16381270Do the experiment and prove it.>muh theory, muh math...No, get a scale like Duncan McDougall did, and prove it.
>>16381263you should keep the post, I like it
>>16381271Seems unlikely to be a coincidence
Honestly, OP. Avogadro's number rocks.
>>16381275I guarantee you the souls of sinners are heavier yet than those of saints.
>>16381270on what storage medium?
>>16381286Any storage medium. Data is made out of matter just like everything else, it isn't magic.
>>16381291a platter is not going to be heaver based on how many 1s or 0s it has written to it.
>>16381273Sure, whatever. I made a new thread. >>16381301
>>16381270>put bead to the other side>abacus is now heavier/ lighter
>>16381271Well it would be true if for all of them, they had the same exact weight difference. I.e for 3 measurements a,b, and c. a = b = c. In that case they all lost the same weight, and that weight was the average weight.
>>16381664Worded that poorly. Obviously they'd all have the same average weight. But they would also have all lost the average weight. "They all lost the average weight" where average weight = weight lost by each person = xSo "they all lost c pounds" where c = a = b = average weight
>>16381206The weight-loss-at-death thing has been repeatedly tested since and has proven to be non-reproducible. If the soul exists, it doesn't have weight.
>>16381230If anything it would be the weight of the final breath plus moisture lossAnd his measurements were far from exact
Is soul is energy then losing 21 gm of energy means ~10^15 Joules.That's like 500 kiloton TNT hmmm.
>>16382211Imagine if people were at risk of fucking detonation upon death, that would be sick, hospitals/hospice facilities would look much different.
>>16382222I could swear there was a peace of fiction where something along those lines actually append.Could be Death Stranding actually, I'm not sure
>>16381704Because NPCs don't have souls, so not everyone will experience weight loss.
>>16382524Most NPCs are very capable of achieving sentience
>>16381261Stanisław Lem wrote a markedly pol-incorrect story about exactly this proposal (Professor Donda - the memoirs of Ijon Tichy).
also, compressed gas in one's intestines weighs more and distends the abdomen more (causing increased buoyancy) than after farting one's last. could amount to a 21 g difference, just saying.
>>16382524Then how did OP cherrypick and defy the odds was he just finding nonNPCs to murder?
>>16381206That was just their last farts leaving them
>>16383750>>16384469>last BBRRAAAAAAPUnironically kino.
>>16382558So do "real humans" think in vivid pictures or language? Which is it?
>>16384485Bots definitely have to reduce everything to a binary.
>>16381704>Be listening to radio>Turn radio off, it weighs lessSame logic
>>16383750Human digestive system is about 4L of internal volume. That'd equate to about 3 grams of methane gas.Not enough to account for all of it, but enough to show that it's probably within the error bars of how other biological processes following death could change the apparent mass of the body.
>>16381206>same averageWhy does the historical record show scientists have always been retarded?
>>16382222Checked sick idea
>>16384240NPCs are a recent phenomenon after population explosion, not enough souls to go around anymore
