Comparing with the weight of a soul at 21 grams [1] would put the information content of a soul at 4.7652×10^13 TB (terabytes) [2]. Assuming neural storage is less efficient would suggest that this is an overestimate.<p>FYI, I don&#x27;t believe any of this. Just putting it out there for science.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;21_grams_experiment" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;21_grams_experiment</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wolframalpha.com&#x2F;input?i=21+grams+%2F+4.40698+x+10%5E-13+grams+*+1+TB" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wolframalpha.com&#x2F;input?i=21+grams+%2F+4.40698+x+...</a>

This is about 12 orders of magnitude off what you get using the mass-energy-information equivalence. The MEI is theoretically what you arrive at by combining E = mc^2 with the the fact that the entropy of a system at a fixed temperature can bet written as a difference between the total energy and free energy of the system.
