Chapter 16: Soul of No Master
A Chong thought for a while and said, "Have you ever heard that people have souls?"
Lao Wang said astonishedly, "Damn, I'm still doing that superstitious thing? We are all college students influenced by education in the new era, and we don't engage in the magical and ghost-like style..."
Zi Yang said: "Shut up! Eat."
Zi Yang said: "I remember that there are scientific journals abroad that people have souls. Some scientists have special tests, saying that human souls weigh 21 grams. Westerners say that people will lose 21 grams after death. It seems that a German doctor has conducted experiments on 200 dying people to test their weight before and after death. After measurement, it was found that these people were 0.285 grams lighter, and they think this is the weight of human souls.
Some scientists in Mexico and the United States have also conducted experiments to verify that the soul is a measurable substance. A research group organized by authoritative doctors, psychologists and scientists of the science of souls created a set of soul measuring instruments. It is said that a photo of the patient's death was taken, and a white thing rushed out of the body. The psychologist explained that this is the soul particles of the deceased were about to leave."
A Chong praised, "I didn't expect that your knowledge is quite profound, and you even know these non-subtitled knowledge."
Zi Yang scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hey, I like to read some idle books when I have nothing to do. Some things are more interesting. I will write them down after reading them once."
Lao Wang interrupted again: "I prefer to read story clubs, legends in the past and present..."
Zi Yang: "Shut up and eat!"
A Chong smiled, "What you said means is similar, but it is not accurate. In my understanding, the human soul is an immaterial phenomenon that cannot be detected by scientific means at present, similar to a thinking and consciousness structure of a biological magnetic field... For example, it is like a software program in a computer, invisible and tangible, but it still exists."
Seeing Zi Yang listening attentively, A Chong added, "There is no accurate conclusion in the scientific community's description of the soul. Some people believe that the human soul is a negative cosmic particle with the antimatter structure in space, and the virtual matter particles of the soul cannot act on the gravitational field of the earth, but it can shuttle between the earth and the universe at will.
Some scientists also believe that the soul—or human thinking—is an unobservable quantum state.”
Zi Yang heard A Chong say a string of physical terms that he had never heard of before, and was not only very curious—this was much more convincing than the sayings of ghosts and gods just now.
Lao Wang next door was pushed back several times by Zi Yang, but he didn't mind. He was satisfied with what he had to eat. He ate and chewed, and his mouth was vague: "It's so fresh, the first time I heard such a theory. I don't know most of the words you said."
Zi Yang said mockingly, "As a medical worker, how come you don't even know these things? You have too poor knowledge reserves."
Lao Wang's mouth was stuffed with things and said, "These are some unpopular theories that need not be found. As a regular student in the medical school, how could I believe these theories that have not been scientifically verified? Besides, am I just a freshman? Haven't I failed 5 subjects? Have you forgotten?"
A Chong ignored the two of them and continued, "What you said is that these scientific research is not universally persuasive." - Lao Wang lit Zi Yang with chopsticks, "Look, look, I know that you have been asked to watch less movies and decadent publications in capitalist countries, but you just don't listen. "The Love of Man and Ghost" is "21g"... If the soul could be detected by instruments, so many experts and scientific research institutions in the world would have detected it long ago. I wouldn't know? The few you said are just pseudoscientists who pretend to be a ghost."
A Chong said again, "The problem is here. The existence of the soul is very unstable. Not all dead people will release a test-capable soul. Although scientists have discovered the relationship between soul and mass, this phenomenon is not regular and not normal. This unexplained contradiction is somewhat similar to the Heisenberg's inaccurate principle in quantum mechanics."
"But people cannot deny the existence of such supernatural things, because there have indeed been many such cases in the real world. Like mysterious figures taken when taking pictures; some people can feel their souls leaving their bodies while dying; some people can talk to their souls under specific circumstances, etc.
Of course, these events have not been accepted by traditional society. Since ancient times, people have resorted to the theory of ghosts and gods. This is just because it cannot be explained by current technological means. Just as ancient people did not understand that the earth was round, and people hundreds of years ago did not believe that airplanes could fly. Once technology develops to a certain stage, these supernatural phenomena will naturally have reasonable explanations."
Zi Yang asked carefully, "I think you have some evidence that does exist?"
A Chong nodded slightly, "Now, we - Professor Zhang's team, have enough evidence to prove the existence of the supernatural power of the soul."
Zi Yang said in surprise: "Since this is the case, why don't you publish the research results to the public? Maybe you can win a Nobel Prize or something."
A Chong shook his head and said, "Research must be carried out in secret and cannot be published to the public. First, based on the current human cognition, we are not prepared to accept this knowledge. Second, our research must break through and overturn a lot of common sense. If it is published rashly, it is easy to cause social unrest."
Lao Wang was also interested at this time, "Then tell us what ghosts are! Combining reality, don't write too many theoretical things. I read less and can't understand them."
A Chong said: "According to Professor Zhang's research, human consciousness or thought is a supernatural energy. The principle of ghost formation is that after some people die, because of resentment or unfulfilled wishes in their lifetime, they form a powerful thinking energy, making the soul a qualitative form. Under the action of a certain force field, this form will exist independently of his body. This kind of resentment spirit is what we often call, because this thinking energy has human characteristics, but is independent of any body. Professor Zhang calls it the "ownless soul". This kind of soul will have different strengths and weaknesses depending on the conditions of formation, as well as the surrounding environment, including temperature and humidity.
The consciousness energy of most people is not strong enough to form a condensation and forming, so the consciousness will disappear immediately after death. Even if some of them can form a soul, it will gradually weaken over time and disappear. However, some may be able to condense for thousands of years under appropriate conditions. The formation of a masterless soul requires many conditions - so the phenomenon of ghosts has become a very special case."
After saying that, he looked at Lao Wang and said, "I have carefully checked the corpses received by your medical school. Judging from the background and information, most of them were executed prisoners."
Lao Wang nodded and said, "This is normal. The corpses in the hospital are basically all prisoners' bodies. Most people will not send their own family's bodies to the hospital for dissection. Is it the most death toll? But death is different. Many people's families often do not take the initiative to claim the bodies for well-known reasons. Then the relevant departments will send these bodies to the hospital for scientific research, which can be regarded as making some contribution to humans."
