well, if such a thing as “soul” as opposed to the body, exists (I do not believe it, but it is a matter of opinions), it clearly is not a material object, so it has no weight!! (where did you get the 24 grams??)
The 24 grams are an urban legend. The soul as a concept of consciousness could make sense if you prefer to think of it that way, but not as some mystical being outside our physical body.
We don’t have any proof that souls exist, or that there is anything that remains after we die. I suppose it’s possible though, we don’t understand conciousness very well yet, so we shouldn’t rule anything out.
I’ve heard about those tests. I’m not sure how scientifically rigorous they are. There’s no evidence for a soul, but I do like the idea even if I don’t believe in it.
There was probably some misunderstanding; talk to your teacher again. The myth is actually that it weighs 21 grams, and was made famous by a film of the same name in 2003.
Note that the loss of weight, or lack of it, says nothing about the existence or non-existence of a soul.
