"How much does three weigh"

I can't help you there. You are asking about the weight of a thought. Scientists can measure brain activity to some degree and I suppose they could estimate the weight of the energy that is jumping about when one thinks but that number would be almost the same as nil.

I have said that the universe is awesome to our puny intellects with our paucity of knowledge. We do not have all the answers. We barely have a fraction of the questions. We define existence and non-existence as though they were mutually exclusive. But meanwhile a million cell phone conversations from all over the world and a million radio broadcasts pass through my body continuously.

So my best guess at what a number 3 weighs is 3! And there may be gods who can move the needle on a scale-but it is not any of the obvious myths that superstitious and fearful people have invented. The number 3? Yeah! Why don't you go with that! It doesn't make you a chosen person , so it will likely do no harm!
