Over the last few weeks I haven’t been up to much at all. Before the summer started I came up with a brief idea for a test to determine the existence of a soul. Here it is in short.

From my understanding if one were to travel at the speed of light, no matter the distance, it would seem “instantaneous”.

So let us say X traveled 20 light years at the speed of light. X shouldn’t have any experiences or thoughts during those 20 years.

But what if X did? If X did then it would be proof that their is some part of X is not material or that physics is wrong.
Not a perfect test. But I think anyone would admit: trying to prove the existence of something of which nothing is known about is a tall order indeed.


I remember watching an episode of the West Wing a long time ago. One of the cheese days, the day the cartographers came to complain about how our maps perpetuated a North/South divide. In the same line but slightly less serious is the redrawing of the Madrid Metro.
