Chinese Scientists Searching For The Human Soul Via State-Of-The-Art Brain Scanner
• https://www.technocracy.news, By: Jon LockettChinese scientists are developing a £100m state-of-the-art brain scanner to try and find the human soul.
They will use powerful magnetic forces to observe the structure and activities of every neuron in a living brain.
The aim is to build the world's most powerful MRI device – which may one day be able to help answer one of life's big questions.
The mystical soul, according to many religious, philosophical, and mythological traditions, is the true essence of a living being.
Simply stated, it is said to be the part of a person that is not physical and lives on long after the body experiences death.
The scanner "will revolutionise brain studies", said a senior scientist working on the top secret project in Shenzhen.
The total budget for the state-backed facility will even exceed that of FAST, the world's largest telescope in Pingtan.
"It will show us a different world with phenomenon unseen before … maybe even the soul," one scientist told the SCMP.
"We may for the first time capture a full picture of human consciousness or even the essence of life itself," said another physicist.
