you have a lot of thoughts in a day. Billions at least.
Do you mean coherent thoughts or just those intuitive ones. I know that whenever I think about what im typing or something that I hear it in my head, but does everyone? I also know that when im doing other things, math, puzzles, stuff like that, I don't have any thoughts in my head, I just KNOW how to do them. That's why I hate it whenever someone asks me how to do something like a puzzle or a math problem, I can't explain it because I just do it. Also, a billion is a ton of thoughts, you can't even COUNT to 1 billion in your life time.

ke bites on the computer. Each idea we ever had always leaves a memory.
A memory is a connection between neurons or whatever you call them in your brain that leave a "pattern" therefore, constituting as a memory. In this case, I suppose that you could measure thoughts, but the only difference would be whatever it is that connects them is gained. The neurons are already there, so what comes in and connects it?
I'll have to see if I can find a link to it but I remember reading about a guy who actually tried to weight the human soul. He did this by placing a person who was near death on a scale taking there weight before death and again after. the results were the death body had actually gained weight rather then lost weight.
This sounds to me like the guy didn't know how to use a scale. Plus, what would the difference be? .00000000000000000000000000000000000001? As far as I know, no scale can measure to past a billionth of a gram.
