Ever heard of the infamous 21 grams experiment? In 1907, Dr. Duncan MacDougall weighed dying patients to prove souls have mass! His tiny sample size (N=1) led to a wild conclusion that became paranormal legend. Meanwhile, actual scientists are facepalming with their properly designed studies (N=1000). This meme brilliantly roasts how a single questionable data point spawned an entire supernatural belief system! The "soul weighs 21 grams" myth persists despite being based on methodology that would make any statistics professor cry themselves to sleep.
