History of Ki research, and modern Ki research

We need to be able to approach and investigate new and different ideas, without immediately dismissing them as nonsense simply because we don't understand them. That's how scientific progress is made.

Interesting article on the history of energy researches

Heat and electricity seem part of the spectrum of qi. It is why hot will go to cold and vice versa, and not something else. Energy expresses itself according to qi balance.

Here's a interesting article. It really seems to be on the right track for future development. The future is in energy and fields of energy-

Qi theory fits in well with scientific discoveries

I doubt there's enough money in external qigong for a company to control external qi though.

"Direct action on the affected areas results in rhythmical contraction of a large number of the myofibrils of the skeletal muscles and smooth muscles of the blood vessel walls. "

It can make you involuntarily flap around. It measures skin resistance and then changes it's current and the person can't adapt

Certain Physical Manifestation and Effects of External Qi of Yan Xin Life Science Technology

This paper reviews a portion of the data generated via the external qi emitted by Dr. Yan Xin. Included here are (1) strong responses developed in LiF thermoluminescent dosimeters, (2) strong responses in aqueous solution structure as probed with laser Raman spectroscopy and (3) alterations in the half-life of 241Am as probed with both Y-ray spectroscopy and a solid-state nuclear track detector. According to the different circumstances, external qi of Dr. Yan Xin can display different attributes such as being distance transcending, bidirectional, reversible, or targeting. Although external qi of Yan Xin Life Science Technology has not been identified with any of the four known and accepted fundamental physical forces, its influence on physical reality is robustly confirmed.

Try a textbook, like physics 101, by Wheeler, et al. Read that and report back. Get off the crackpot sites and try reading about real science. Links available upon request.

Heres the conclusion from my earlier link:

Focusing on Yan Xin Life Science Technology research results in the areas
of physical science and technology, we have come to the following conclusions:
The external qi emitted by Dr. Xin Yan has been detected by physical
detectors and its physical existence has been confirmed. External qi emitted
by Dr. Yan has been found to interact with and affect matter at different levels
from molecular to nuclear levels. Specifically, the external qi from Dr. Yan
significantly affected the molecular structure of liquid water and other water
solution as well as the half-life of radioactive isotope 241Am.

Perhaps Dr. Yan is confused. Just how does 'qi' affects the molecular structure of liquid water, other water solution [huh?], and the half-life of Am241. Can't help but wonder what university confers doctorates in cowpiesiology.

Of course, one can assume they are all just confused.
However, once we start assuming everyone is just confused, then science disintegrates completely.

1. What is Ki and how has it been studied in history?

Ki, also known as Chi or Qi, is a concept originating from East Asian cultures that refers to the vital energy that flows through all living beings. In history, Ki has been studied by ancient philosophers and traditional medicine practitioners through methods such as acupuncture, meditation, and martial arts. It has also been the subject of spiritual and philosophical discussions.

2. How has modern science researched Ki?

Modern science has approached the study of Ki through various fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and physiology. Researchers have used methods such as brain imaging, biofeedback, and physiological measurements to understand the effects of Ki on the body and mind. However, the concept of Ki is still controversial in scientific circles, and its existence and effects are not universally accepted.

3. What are the potential benefits of Ki research?

Some potential benefits of Ki research include gaining a better understanding of the mind-body connection, exploring alternative methods for healing and therapy, and improving overall well-being. It may also provide insights into ancient practices and philosophies and their relevance in modern times.

4. What are some criticisms of Ki research?

Critics of Ki research argue that the concept of Ki is based on pseudoscience and lacks empirical evidence. They also point out that many studies on Ki have not been replicated or have flaws in their methodology. Additionally, some argue that the concept of Ki is too broad and encompasses various unrelated practices, making it difficult to study scientifically.

5. How can Ki research be further advanced?

To advance Ki research, there needs to be more collaboration between traditional and modern approaches. This includes incorporating traditional practices into rigorous scientific studies and using modern techniques to explore the mind-body connection. Additionally, the standardization of methods and terminology can help improve the credibility and replicability of research in this field.
