Erik, do you have any experience with internal arts use of "qi" (jing) to move things or people around Would you describe this as the result of "graviton fields" moving the people with no contact Or would you agree that you touch people, generating unusual force with your BODY Feeling that force like extreme pressure along your bones, like when a massive force works on you I experienced those feelings, and I can assure it does not make use of graviton fields. Mitochondrias probably play some role, but you couldn't say that this is very much studied in depth with appropriate biological survey methods. Say, a biopsy of a guy like Chen Xiao Wang counting the density / number of mitochondrias in muscles typically used. Analysing the muscle structure, chemical agents in his blood after heavy longer time use of internal strength (indicating the chemical processes creating the energy), etc. This would be science, the other thing making assumptions that "sound logic" is pseudo-science throwing around buzzwords with no survey. I can say that I felt "unusual feelings" in my guts, prior to the "typical" tingling along various pathways explained in each and every text on it, and then my body did normal movements much stronger. Your claim is that this "qi" could also move things with no contact. This would have been stated up and down chinese texts through 2500 years, since it would be an outstanding feat guaranteeing you a lifelong position at some imperial court. I also experienced "influence" over distance without touching, but my very best guess is that it is manipulating people over the "soul interface", very different from using jing. One thing is muscle machine, the other is feelings. I think the term coming nearest to what is Qi as of western medicine would be lymph, but, this is opinion. Lymph carries roughly 200,000 different aminoacids, of which 2,000 - 3,000 have been given a function by study. It is steering everything of interest in the body not going over blood, so the result of this flow stagnating would cause lots of difficulties with bodies metabolism. Which is MUCH nearer to what Qigong, or qi therapy, cures, as opposed to creating stronger or weaker graviton or electromagnetic fields, not having any function in bodies metabolism. We know that certain qigong or internal arts styles moving creates sometimes electrical feelings on the skin, why, and if this is just a byproduct or responsible for anything, is only speculation. The results of chemical agents on a body is thoroughly studied and a definite yes as of scientifical view of body. If asking me, the electrical phenomen of doing Taiji is just coincidence and sideeffect.
