21 grams

The human soul weighs 21 grams
Duncan MacDougall of Haverhill, Massachusetts

But dogs have no souls...

MacDougall repeated his experiment with fifteen dogs and observed that "the results were uniformly negative, no loss of weight at death." This result seemingly corroborated MacDougall's hypothesis that the loss in weight recorded as humans expired was due to the soul's departure from the body, since (according to his religious doctrine) animals have no souls.

Inspired from the 21 grams movie with Sean Penn
