这不是此类实验的正式名称,但有人认为这一名称仍能表现它的特性。1907年,美国马萨诸塞州哈佛山的邓肯·麦克杜格尔(Duncan MacDougall)医生将六个奄奄一息的病人放到一个特制的床榻上 ...
a wiki result for this:
Although generally regarded either as meaningless or considered to have had little if any scientific merit,[1][2] MacDougall's finding that the human soul weighed 21 grams has become a meme in the public consciousness. It lent itself to the title of the film 21 Grams.

"MacDougall's ... methodology ... was suspect, [his] sample size far too small, and [his] ability to measure changes in weight imprecise. For this reason, credence should not be given to the idea his experiments proved something, let alone that they measured the weight of the soul ... His postulations on this topic are a curiosity, but nothing more."
