Weight loss on the moment of death? Up to 21 grammes

This is your 'Soul Shave Weight.' For the purposes of this exercise Human Soul Shave Weight (HSSW)

Fully grown sheep (note: Not lambs or goats) for about 1 - 6 seconds after death can gain between 18 to 780 grammes. This transient weight loss is contrary to Newton's third law because there is no compensating weight loss. It should be noted that these experiments "occurred in a quiet time at the moment of death when all breathing and movement had ceased". So the sheep had a natural death - not slaughtered. For the purposes of this exercise Sheep Soul Shave Container (SSSC) .

So. It is clear the soul shave wieght from dead humans is being displaced into dead sheep. We can guess the velocity of HSSW is between 1 - 6sec, and we know the velocity of SSSC is ~1sec. The mass of HSSW is ~21g. The mass of SSSC is 18 <> 780g.

Now allowing for the fact that there are far more humans dying then sheep having natural deaths it take ~37 Humans to fill a sheep to capacity. If a human soul cannot find a sheep it may have to travel – It has 6 seconds to get there.

So say that a soul travels as the crow flies (ignoring spherical geometry) the furthest it would have to travel is 12756.32 kilometers and it has ~6secs to do this. This means souls travel at approximately 2126 m/s or 6 1/4 times the speed of sound. For the purposes of this exercise Human Soul Speed (HSS). Sheep soul speed again ~1 sec (SSS)

So taking Newtons third law (as applied to momentum) we get:

x(HSSW) x(HSS) + y(SSSC) y(SSS) = x(HSSW) x (v1*) + y(SSSC) y(v2*) where v1 and v2 are equal to relative soul velocities (~ ∞ or ~1)

This equation of course could be flawed, if sheep aren’t actually an advanced form of Ovine soul container. I propose that we weigh all the animals in the world pre and post mortem and then make our minds up about soul transition theory.

Hollywood has made a movie called 21 grams. Named after the weight of the soul, I am sure that it has nothing to do with the above.

TTFN – So long Warren.
