What are some of the most interesting /sci/entific findings?

Why 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.

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?

I 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.

only one of the six patients lost weight, actually.

Do the experiment and prove it.

No, get a scale like Duncan McDougall did, and prove it.

Well 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.

Worded 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 = x
So "they all lost c pounds" where c = a = b = average weight

The 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.

If anything it would be the weight of the final breath plus moisture loss
And 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.

Imagine if people were at risk of fucking detonation upon death, that would be sick, hospitals/hospice facilities would look much different.

I could swear there was a peace of fiction where something along those lines actually append.
Could be Death Stranding actually, I'm not sure

Because NPCs don't have souls, so not everyone will experience weight loss.

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.

Human 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.
