The Zany Side Of Science
Science often drifts into the bizzaro world when it comes to experimentation. Hybrid Librarian takes a look at the 10 craziest science experiments that will blow your mind, such as the 21 grams theory. Dr. Duncan MacDougall, an early 20th-century physician from Haverhill, Massassachusetts, was known for his questionable studies, such as his 1901 work in which he endeavored to determine the weight of our souls. MacDougall placed six terminally ill patients suffering from tuberculosis on scales and carefully measured if there was any change in weight after death. He claimed that each patient lost exactly 21.3 grams of weight after their deaths, a condition that wasn’t repeated with dogs in a similar experiment. Eerie! Check out nine more of the zaniest science experiments.
