Chapter 458: Soul Science
The term "soul" has a strong religious connotation, and when it comes out of the mouth of scientists, there always seems to be a sense of disobedience, you know, science has been expelling religion, and it is precisely because of the development of physics, astronomy and other sciences that the influence of religion has begun to shrink completely.

However, a true scientist will not be an absolute atheist, because an absolute atheist, like those who are fanatical religious believers, first assumes a truth and then denies everything that does not conform to its assumption. This kind of thinking is not a scientist!
Therefore, science does not deny the existence of mysterious aspects such as souls and gods, and a true scientist will not say that gods definitely do not exist, but only that there is no evidence to prove their existence or non-existence.
It must be pointed out that the gods mentioned here are not the same thing as the gods of God, Allah, immortals, Buddhas, ghosts, etc., which are spoken of in religion today, and this god is not another god!
Zhang Wei used to believe in the existence of such a thing as a soul, and in his view, the human body is nothing more than a bunch of chemicals, and if there is no soul, how can there be self-meaning and almost infinite imagination and thinking. However, when he created Beidou, who also had thinking and creativity, he was a little puzzled, was Beidou just a piece of code he created, and also had a soul? If the soul really existed, how did it come into being?
Over the years, Zhang Wei has been deeply puzzled, and he also deeply feels that the ocean of science is too vast, and the more he understands, the more he realizes his own insignificance and ignorance.
Fortunately, he finally solved another puzzle.
The soul does exist.
Here's how it happened:
When Liu Hao, a scientist in the laboratory, was conducting an experiment, he happened to remember a very controversial paper, which was published in the April 1907 issue of the journal "American Medicine", and the protagonist was Duncan McDougall, a physician in Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA, who recruited six seriously ill volunteers to conduct a huge controversy. McDougall put the six dying men to bed and used a precision rod scale to continuously measure their weight changes in the period before and after death.
According to the experimental records, McDougall made an astonishing discovery, the first case of volunteers in the 3 hours and 40 minutes before their death, the weight of the average rate of one ounce (about 28 grams) per hour, McDougall thought that this was the loss of body fluids caused by breathing and perspiration, but within a few seconds after the death of the volunteer, the weight suddenly dropped three-quarters of an ounce (21 grams), this number cannot be explained by the evaporation of bodily fluids, after ruling out the possibility of defecation, etc., McDougall came to the conclusion that the disappeared 21 grams is the soul。
This experiment was so widely circulated that many people used it as evidence when they debated with others about the existence of souls.
But in fact, this is just a fallacy, because this experiment is quite unscientific, and unscientific experiments tend to lead to unscientific conclusions.
In this experiment, the data from the six groups of experiments were different, ranging from volunteers who lost 1.5 ounces after death and then 1 ounce after a few minutes, to those who lost weight, then went up, and then fell again...... The data of the six sets of experiments are not the same, and such experimental data is meaningless.
By the way, McDougall also did the same experiment with 15 dogs, and then did not test the weight change after the dog's death, so he came to the conclusion that dogs have no soul.
Liu Hao remembered this unreliable paper, and suddenly had an idea, he wanted to do a similar experiment, because he has always been inclined to believe that the soul is related to dark matter, so he wants to use experimental equipment to observe whether a large amount of dark matter will escape from the body after the death of life.
Liu Hao conducted an experiment with 20 mice, he injected the mice with a genetic virus, so that the mice would die within 6 hours, and then, he locked the mice in a cage, through dark matter and dark energy detection equipment, to observe the changes of the mice before and after death.
According to the experimental records, he made the astonishing discovery that abnormal energy fluctuations were detected within seconds of the death of the mice, and this was the case for all 20 sets of experimental data.
The discovery excited everyone in the lab, and everyone speculated that this was the dark energy they had been looking for.
Zhang Wei was also shocked, and he immediately ordered to continue the experiment, this time to do 100 sets of experiments.
Through a large number of experiments, Zhang Wei and others collected a large amount of data, and then, according to the data, they adjusted the equipment parameters, and finally believed that within 3 seconds after the death of the mouse, dark energy will escape from the body, and these dark energy will escape outward in the form of waves.
Zhang Wei and others speculated that the mice had a soul, and the soul contained a large amount of dark energy, and after the death of the mouse, the soul dissipated, and the dark energy contained in the soul was transmitted to the surroundings in the form of waves.
Zhang Wei and others call this kind of wave soul wave. By the way, Soul Wave is not a superstition, he was mentioned by Robert Sawyer, one of Canada's most influential science fiction writers, in his science fiction work "The Ultimate Experiment".
Zhang Wei and others carefully analyzed the experimental data, upgraded the equipment, adjusted the parameters, and began to conduct human experiments, as for the experimental subjects, they are death row prisoners held in imperial prisons, in this era can become death row prisoners, are not ordinary people, caused great harm to the society, used for experiments, but also to contribute to the society, make up for their sins. As for human rights, death row prisoners have no human rights.
Experimental data has shown that all subjects will emit more dark energy than mice for a very short period of time after death, which is strong evidence of the existence of souls.
Then, larger-scale experiments began.
Through experimental data, Zhang Wei et al. found that humans, extraterrestrial intelligent life, and animals will escape dark energy in a very short time after death, and the characteristics of these dark energy are the same. However, people made with 3D bioprinting, people made with nanorobotics, and intelligent robots do not escape dark energy after death.
This made Zhang Wei and others wonder, could it be that only innate intelligent life would have such a phenomenon, and acquired artificial life would not?
However, when they experimented with clones, they discovered that clones would emit dark energy after death.
This discovery made Zhang Wei and others even more puzzled.
And at this time, they had an unexpected discovery, when they slowed down the experimental video by 100,000 times, they could vaguely find that at the moment of the death of human and extraterrestrial intelligent life, a very small amount of dark matter escaped from the body, and when they slowed down the experimental video by 500,000 times, this process can be seen very clearly.
In the moment after the death of humans, extraterrestrial intelligent life, animals, and clones, there will be very little dark matter escaping from the body, while people made with 3D bioprinting technology, people made with nanorobot technology, and intelligent robots will not have this phenomenon.
At this moment, they can finally affirm that there is indeed a soul, and the soul is related to dark matter and dark energy.
However, when they tested the living, they were unable to detect the existence of souls, and there was only one explanation: well, they were not skilled enough!
However, when they upgraded the device, although they were unable to detect souls, they did detect soul waves, which are somewhat similar to electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic wave is a kind of energy, all objects that can release energy, will release electromagnetic waves, but people can't see it; soul wave is a kind of dark energy, like human beings with soul life, when alive, will always release soul waves, but it is very weak and difficult to detect.
(By the way, dark matter and the aforementioned antimatter are two different concepts, so don't get confused.) In addition, the applications of dark matter and dark energy involved later are all made up by Forrest Gump, and scientists have not found this thing yet...... )
