Is it life sized, is it a few atoms across, smaller than that even? Who knows. The universe is full of mystery and wonder and we are the universe.

To me at least, the 'soul' is the emergent property of our brain and our nervous system. I don't believe it's infinite. When we die our brain dies as well obviously and we can no longer process thoughts and react to the world around us like the way we do right now. However the brain is such a complex organ that it will never be fully understood.
