"With the intention to prove the existence of the human soul scientifically MacDougall introduced in 1907 a medical experiment by six patients roads during their dying process. The beds were positioned on an industrial scale so that the weight of the patient before, during, and could be held in the holes after death. The patients lost directly or minutes to hours after death "21 grams" weight. This minimal research shows that the soul has a substantial weight. The concept of "21 grams" has a mysterious imagination that is attractive to artists. The weight of "21 grams" is both imaginative and literally for jewelery makers a challenge." Ruudt Peters
