Soul is made of dark matter?

It would be an interesting idea, but I find the concept of dark matter to be a very shaky one at best.

It's an interesting concept, seeing as telekinesis is essentially the soul moving an object, and the only way we know of dark matter interacting on our world is via gravity.

Interesting concept, but very unlikely.

If that was the case you would expect to see an increase of mass in things with souls when compared to a similar thing without one wouldn't you?
"In 1907 Dr Duncan MacDougall made weight measurements of patients as they died. He claimed that there was weight loss of varying amounts at the time of death. His results have never been reproduced, and are generally regarded either as meaningless or considered to have had little if any scientific merit."

Just for the sake of, well, building more pseudoscience. :D

I think if there is a soul, then all souls would be a part of the same energy of the universe, so you really wouldn't see an increase because it would be the same throughout the universe.

Who says that the soul necessarily has to be a part of this reality (if what we perceive as real actually exists, that is)? And if the soul isn't a part of our perceived reality, then it wouldn't necessarily be made of any sort of matter that we could define. So, much like the argument over what deity is or isn't, it would be impossible to confirm or deny the existence of the soul.
...just a thought, I could be completely mistaken on the matter :)

There is more dark matter then there is ordinary matter.

There is also dark energy.

A lot of the top cosmologists in the world think that dark matter is another universe.

Dark matter isn't the "soul" for a lot of reasons.
