At present, most of qigong (Chinese yoga) and related
paranormal phenomena can not be explained by modern physics. It
is necessary to create a new branch of physics that would
incorporate "thinking field" and would deduce principles of
motion in such a field and its interaction with matter.
Clearly we are facing the arrival of a new scientific
revolution.

occurrences of paranormal phenomena are induced by some people
while they are in a gigong state or in a similar paranormal
state*. For example, Mr. Chao Chey Zhoun - an ordinary
worker in a Beijing factory - gained, after qigong training,
clairvoyance and mental telepathy skills and became a well know
psychic healer in China [1].
In November 1987 the author participated in an experiment
during which, by the emission of qi, a qigong master has altered
the taste of a cup of liquor. This change has yet to be confirmed
by a gas chromatogram analysis. Yan Xin, one of the most famous
Chinese qigong masters, has cooperated with scientists in the
famous experiment. By emitting qi from the distance of 2000 km,
he has influenced chemical reactions and has changed molecular
structure of the samples such as tap water, saline and glucose
solutions, and other biological media. After the emission of qi,
laser Raman spectra showed big changes indicating alterations in
the molecular structure [2]. One may conclude that, at that time,
the Chinese research of gigong has reached the molecular level.
The most puzzling among various paranormal phenomena is
psychokinesis (PK). PK shows not only that people who can induce
it have paranormal abilities but, what is even more important, PK
reveals a paranormal mode of interaction with and motion of the
matter.
On January 7, 1988, the author with his seven colleagues
visited the Institute of Space Medico-Engineering and watched in
person demonstrations by Mr. Zhang Baosheng - the most famous
person, in China, with paranormal abilities.
1. Mr.Zhang extracted through the walls of a tightly closed
bottle many medical tablets without any visible damage neither to
the bottle, nor to the tablets. The tablets were in a clear glass
bottle with a tight rubber plug. Part of the plug consisted of a
fold-out rubber skirt providing a firm and difficult to remove
lid.
2. Mr. Zhang transferred some candies and fresh flowers into
a sealed envelope without opening it.
3. Mr. Zhang wrote some Chinese characters on the outside of
the envelope and transferred these characters into the letter
paper that had been previously sealed inside the envelope. Then,
again without opening the envelope, he tore the paper in the
envelope into two pieces end extracted one of the pieces. After
that, prior to opening, the envelope was inspected and was found
well sealed and not damaged. Next, candies and flowers were
extracted from it. The torn edges of the two pieces of paper
matched with each other.
* Note from the translator: these states of the human body are
measurably different from the normal conditions of being asleep
or awake.

It was reported to us by a leading member of the ISME that
in recent years thousands of experiments have been performed
showing that the demonstrated phenomena are reproducible and can
be recorded by a modern equipment such as a video camera. These
miraculous phenomena are neither a magic trick nor a
superstitious fiction. They are scientifically verified
experimental facts. After several years of research, somatic
scientists have already found some rules responsible for
induction of paranormal abilities. Right now, Mr. Zhang is not
the only person in China with such abilities.
A philosopher said: "Miracles are not against the nature,
they are only against our understanding of the nature."
Obviously, these miraculous phenomena raise challenging problems
to modern physics. A series of questions has to be answered by
modern physics.
In the history of modern physics it happened more than once
that a new phenomenon that could not have been explained in terms
of the existing knowledge, became a starting point of a new
discovery leading to important modifications of physics theories.
The challenges to the classical physics through the discoveries
of cathode rays, X-rays, radioactivity, and neutron produced the
theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. Those new discoveries
forced people to thoroughly change their point of view concerning
the understanding of matter, rules of motion, time-space concept,
and causality. It seems that qigong and paranormal phenomena have
pushed physics into such a new stage of development. Therefore we
may expect the arrival of a new scientific revolution.
Among the many questions that the physicist have to answer
are the following:
1. Is qi, as emitted by qigong masters, a new type of
radiation? What is the nature of it? Is it a beam of particles or
an electromagnetic wave? Does it have charge, or not? Can it be
shielded by various materials, or not? Although some measurements
show that qi has some infrared content, this content can not
account for all the effects attributed to qi. In particular, it
is impossible to imagine transportation and collimation of
infrared radiation over a distance of several thousand
kilometers.
2. What are the principles of interaction between various
materials and qi emitted by a gigong master?
3. What are the limits on qi's impact on matter? Namely,
since qi, emitted by a qigong master, can influence chemical
reactions and molecular structure of matter, can it also have an
impact on nuclear reactions and nuclear structure? This is an
especially interesting question for a nuclear physicist.
4. Some individuals, like Mr. Zhang, can make objects

to the bottle and the objects?
5. What are the properties of PK force? What are the
principles of motion and interaction of matter under the PK
force?
It seams that under a strong thinking field the motion and
interaction of matter obey completely new principles,
unexplainable by modern physics and not yet studied at all. It is
necessary to form a new physics system that would include
thinking field. When thinking field diminishes, present
descriptions by modern physics are correct - just like
relativistic kinematic becomes classical when the speed of motion
is much smaller than the speed of light.
To solve the problems that were mentioned above, physicists
should join somatic scientists and other experts and initiate a
coordinated, comprehensive research that would utilize the
advanced equipment and techniques of modern physics; including
nuclear techniques. Measurements with various detectors should be
made to determine: the attributes of qi emitted by qigong
masters, physical parameters of paranormal abilities, substance
attributes of thinking field, and principles of interaction
between such field and the matter.
In the search for a theoretical explanation of qigong and
paranormal phenomena, D. Bohm's theory has been brought back to
attention. D. Bohm worked in the 1950s at Princeton University,
Physics Department. He thought that the statistical aspect of
quantum theory was a result of the not yet revealed, hidden
variables. Once the hidden' variables are found, the outcome of
each experiment can be exactly determined, not just the
probabilities of various results. D. Bohm also,pointed out that
the uncertainty principle in quantum theory describes just the
surface phenomena, whereas the molecules, atoms, and elementary
particles all show temporal appearance in the universe. These
appearances are not necessarily stationary. They interchange. The
hidden variables play a role in a deeper layer of quantum theory,
in a.super-microscopic world ?[10-34 cm]. In this super-
microscopic world hidden variables have a self-organizing feature
that makes one kind of particles become an other, of a different
structure. Therefore, restoring of a torn card or causing the
penetration of an obstacle may, as some suggest, be possible
through the use of the self-organizing features of the super
microscopic world.
An other explanation relates to the hypothesis that ordinary
people recognize only three dimensions whereas the space has more
than three dimensions. People with paranormal abilities recognize
and use the other dimensions while performing their surprising
acts such as wall penetration.
A well known Chinese scientist - Dr. Qian Xuesen -

considered a human body as a huge system. When combined with the
environment, it would form a super huge system. According to
statistical theory, every complex huge system has several
relatively stable states. Under certain conditions a transition
from one state into an other may occur. Also a human body has
more than one stable state. According to the ability state
theory, human body may transform, under some internal or external
impulse, into the other state.
This situation can probably be well illustrated using
nuclear excitation model. For example, the ground state of the
even-even nuclei has spin zero and positive parity JJt = 0+ but,
in the.. excited state, the spin and parity may change, eg. into 3-
or 2+. Although it is still the same nucleus its properties are
different in different excitation states. Human body has similar
properties. If it is in a certain excited state (namely in the
qigong state) its properties are different from that of the
ground state (normal condition). Apparently, modern medicine,
physiology, or somatic science study the properties of human body
just in the ground state. Therefore it is not surprising that
such unusual properties of human body like high enduring
abilities to pressure, temperature, voltage, and other paranormal
features attributed to the qigong state and to the other
paranormal states can not be explained by these sciences. Since
the abilities of various qigong masters and individuals with
paranormal skills differ, it indicates that they reach different
excited states.
Qi emitted by qigong masters can induce human body into an
excited state. Also other external causes may bring about
similar effect. It has been reported in the Soviet Union that
after an illness a patient has gained clairvoyance skills.
Sometimes transformation into an excited state can be induced
internally (so called self excitation) through meditation and
qigong practice.
Just as the nuclear levels and spectra have been studied, in
a similar fashion we should systematically collect the spectra of
human abilities and determine the characteristic parameters of
these states and conditions that allow for transitions between
them. Relying on somatic research, the basic reasons for the
occurrence of paranormal abilities can be understood. One can
imagine that next below the first excited state there are some
semi-stable states. People excited into those semi-stable states
show enhanced, although not yet paranormal, abilities. In this
way one can account for some common phenomena like the well known
fact that in emergency people get quick wits, or that
sleepwalkers, while in trance, are capable of actions beyond
their normal achievements, or that some mental patients show
strength much above the average. The mentioned phenomena show
that a change in the mental condition prompts the body into some
semi-stable state with a set of characteristics (abilities)
different from normal.
If the ability state theory of human body is correct, it can
be predicted that efficient ways of exciting human body into the

miraculous achievements.
Obviously, the recently verified paranormal phenomena have
also raised challenging problems to philosophy and they are going
to make a deep impact on it. Practice is the sole criterion of
truth and is also the only way to discover truth. We believe
that, once the comprehensive research of'paranormal phenomena
starts, it will advance quickly and it will initiate a new
scientific revolution with an unimaginable role in the future
development of human race and society.
