Between 50 to 70% of fertilized eggs fail to implant.

Hey sci, I got a hypothesis I want to test.

In the early 1900's a series of experiments where Duncan MacDougall weighed patients at the time of death he found a verifiable change in weight. This weight average loss upon death is 21 grams and could not be accounted for by any means availible at the time. This leads some to posit that this change in weight is what we call the soul leaving the body.

But I have another idea. Could it not be simply a release in body tension? Consider how a spring weighs more when it is compressed than when in a normal state. Could this change in mass be that effect but from the tension in the human body?

Does this sound about right? Pic unrelated
