For an invisible "part" of you to have mass is pretty insane... as in complete bull. And how can your thoughts have mass?! It's completely fake.

Visibility has nothing to do with it.  Gases have mass.  You have gases inside of you.

Question: If thoughts have mass did Einstein have heavier thoughts than me? Or was he heavier due to more frequen thoughts?  Did he have more thoughts at all? Or were they just more intelligent...

I think this idea is completely preposterous. If thoughts have mass, your head would probably explode. Do you know how many thoughts you have in a day? Oh and those thoughts get stored in your memory, so if this theory were true, your head would be the size of mars. lol

Its time to stop thinking of these ideas being proposterous and start looking into them. Just because we cant comprehend the topic doesnt mean it should be pushed aside without some thought.

And as I recall... we now know that the act of mere observation can alter an experiment. Explain that.

If an atom bumps onto any mass, either the mass goes flying away or the atom does, or either. Brain science has being going on for decades and as Flippin3500 said, you have a lot of thoughts in a day. Billions at least.

I can't. I can't explain everything.

ust because we cant comprehend the topic doesnt mean it should be pushed aside without some thought.

If you can't comprehend something then why try? Pragmatism.  If the knowledge doesn't have a practical use you're better off not knowing.  It would just get in the way of more important things.

Oh and by the way, I can comprehend it, it is just stupid.

1) That thoughts have mass
2) That thoughts can affect people, objects, and actions
3) And (most interestingly) that the Human Soul can be weighed**

These are the 3 interesting things he stated.  One this "science" is not a science.  It is a pseudoscience just like Astrology. 

If we cannot prove a human soul exists in an experiment, then how are we to prove this soul has mass?

A "thought" is an abstract term.  It is like the word "mind"

Your brain is physical, your mind is an idea.  Your thoughts are an idea, electrical impulses that travel through Neurons are the concrete form of your thoughts.  can electricity have mass?  I do not know.  If so then yes your thoughts have mass, if not then no they don't.

Finally the idea that your thoughts can affect people, objects, etc.

How can they affect these objects?  Can they move them physically?  Are you suggesting Telekinesis is possible?

The 2nd thing Mav listed is completely true.  If I think I want a cookie, I am affected in my longing for a cookie.  If I think I want a cookie, I may move and get a cookie, therefore affecting the cookie.  And thinking I want a cookie causes me to get up to get a cookie.  However, it's all indirect.

The other points?  Total BS, ABCBOP.

One question: How are thoughts measured? are they measured by sentence, topics, words, etc?

They are unmeasurable. It would be impossible to measure your thoughts, anyways. (I think)
