Will the body lose 2 1 g after death?
Now scientists prefer the disappearance of consciousness after death, and the weight of 2 1 g is actually consciousness. When the human body doesn't work, the brain stops thinking. Without consciousness, consciousness disappears.

As the center of controlling human body, consciousness plays a key role in human actions. Consciousness is a very powerful and terrible thing.

For example, as early as in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army was caught by Japanese spies and was severely punished. The Eighth Route Army soldiers just didn't reveal any secrets, which was the result of strong consciousness. Punishment acts on the body, which hurts, but consciousness forces people not to give in. Consciousness also controls the body to drink water when thirsty, eat when hungry and so on.

Extended data

Psychologists call substances attached to the human body "soul particles", which will run out of the human body after death. Researchers believe that if the soul particles attached to the human body are a substance, they should have a certain weight. When people die, the soul will leave the body, so the weight of people will change before and after death. This changing number may be the weight of the soul.

This is a study published by Dr. Duncan McDougall, a Massachusetts doctor in the United States, in the April issue of the American Journal of Medicine 1907. The full text can be found on the ghost network. The topic is "Hypothesis that soul is matter and proving the existence of soul matter by experiments".

In order to verify that the soul is a measurable substance, the author specially designed a bed installed on a very sensitive balance. The test method is to let the dying person lie on it, and then measure this person's weight accurately all the time to see the weight change at the moment of death. The moment of death is lightened by the missing part of death, which the author calls the weight of the soul.

The author measured 6 people, 4 tuberculosis patients, 1 diabetic coma patients, and there was another unknown reason.

The statement of 2 1g comes from the first patient, who is dying of tuberculosis. Dr. Mai chose this patient because he had hardly moved when he died, because only in this way can the balance of the scale be maintained and accurate measurement be made. The man was observed for 3 hours and 40 minutes before he died. During this period, the man's weight slowly decreased at the rate of 65,438+0 ounces (28.3495 grams) per hour, which the author estimated was caused by evaporation of body fluids.

Then, the author adjusts the balance of the scale to be close to the upper limit bar, expecting it to drop when it dies. Then at the moment of death, the pointer of the scale quickly dropped to the lower limit bar of the scale and never bounced back. At this time, the weight dropped by 3/4 inch (3/4X28.3495=2 1.26 g), and this famous 2 1 g was born.
