Physics of Philosophy

This is certainly not a genius’s version of an extra-ordinary ultra Nobel Winning article but a mere interpretation of virtual thinking.

The soul, they say, is a part of our body. In fact, the most necessary part of the lively human body. The flesh and bones merely remain calcium, carbon and hydrogen, without the necessary interpretation of the soul. The soul in fact, produces the perfect ever brew of all the raw elements coordinating the brain which sub-coordinates all the internal organs. It is like a fire. Some sort of a fire we can’t visualize. People were philosophized by the ancient Indians, that the soul was one hundredth part of the tip of the hair. The term hundred probably came into existence because they were familiar with using this number (‘Shatham’); may be it was a part of an idiom in Sanskrit.

No one had so far ‘measured’ or even bothered about the ubiquitous soul, as far as our knowledge is concerned, except for a group of Russians, who had conducted an experiment. The group of Russians enclosed a dying old man’s body with a glass dome. The glass was made of pyrex or some other bullet proof material. They waited for the man to die. As the clock ticked, the man stopped twitching and at last when he had kicked the bucket, there as a drama. The refulgent soul, (as they thought it was), escaped as a ray of light, breaking open even the bullet proof case. This phenomenon disturbed the Russians and the matter was left unperturbed.

This is where science suffices philosophy. There is a relative approach to the soul, according to what was proposed by none other than Albert Einstein. According to his laws of relativity, light travels fastest in the universe, with a speed of 299792458 metres per second. This, in fact, is applicable to all forms of energy. Hence, the soul, if treated as energy should move with the velocity, ‘c’ as it is represented as.
A small experiment should help us obtain a value for the energy content of the soul.
The mass of the dying person is noted before his death using a sensitive device. After he expires, the mass of the person is measured again. The difference in the masses is noted (given as ∂m , as I believe, only a very small amount of mass is lost).

From Einstein’s popular expression, we have E = ∂mc2

Where ∂m is the change in mass of the person and c, the speed of light in vacuum. It should be noted that matter and energy are inter-convertible and it is a part of the person’s mass that should escape as the ‘SOUL’
