The piece about the weight of the soul is merely a historical retelling of the physician who tried to prove this. It in no way supports what he thought to be true. It's just an interesting story.

Really, why don't you actually listen to this before commenting further. Commenting without actually listening to it leads one to conclude that your comments have no credibility whatsoever.

Have you ever listened to radio lab before? I'm going to guess no.
