So the soul is still immaterial, and has no mass of its own, but is the cause of increased mass in the body.
The experiment of weighing the soul was performed a century ago -- 21 grams was the result. The experiment has, however, failed upon replication.
Right. Because the soul, as I said, has no weight. The concept behind the test was flawed.
