∙ 14y agoIn an experiment conducted over 100 years ago, a Dr. DuncanMacDougall placed a dying patient upon a scale and recorded changes in his weight during the dying process. At the moment of death, the weight of the patient dropped by approximately 21 grams (.75 oz). This led the physician to conclude that the human soul must have weight since evaporation of sweat and other bodily excretions seemed to have been ruled out.
However, in order to accept the results of an experiment, that experiment must have repeatability. That is, someone else must be able to independently perform the same experiment and get the same results. This experiment has neither been repeated nor confirmed by anyone except for Dr. MacDougall and his assistant. Therefore the idea that the human soul has a precisely measurable and constant weight is not a logically acceptable idea.
So the short answer to your question is no.

It is unlikely that we will ever find a way to pinpoint the soul within the physical realm.
