The average for the 283.5 gram bat was 49.2 meters. The average distance for the 396.9 gram bat was 52.29 meters. The average distance for the 595.34 gram bat was 50.84 meters. The average distance for the 708.7 gram bat was 45.5 meters. The results mean that the heavier the bat, the less distance the baseball will travel.

    I believe that Nagel 's primary conclusion in “What is it like to be a bat?” is that while there are multiple different forms of consciousness, humans cannot be sure of the presence of consciousness in lesser forms of animals, such as a bat.
