subject: Neutronics And Chi Energy In Pa Kua Chang [print this page] Chi Power is probably most measurable in the Martial Arts. There are instances in all the styles of kung fu, especially Tai Chi Chuan and Pa Kua Chang, of people using chi energy to accomplish spectacular feats. From breaking bricks to ripping the bark off of trees to balancing a handstand on one finger, chi has proven to be real.
This writer's first glimpse of chi energy was through breaking bricks. This was back in the sixties, when he saw martial artists shearing bricks with bare hands, and literally shattering bricks with half knuckle strikes. Breaking bricks was just the beginning, however.
In the early seventies Inside Kung Fu magazine came out with an article which highlighted various chi power feats. These photographs were grainy, but done in settings which didn't allow room for fraud. The feats depicted were not normal in any sense of the word.
There was one photo in which an old man severed a six foot length of green bamboo in half--very springy stuff--while it was perched on a pair of eggs. Another excellent photo was the fellow who held an empty 5 gallon glass jar with an upside down, open palm. This writer's favorite photograph, however, was the fellow who took a punch to the belly, then kept the punch 'glued' to his belly with Chi Power.
It is unarguable that chi is real, and it is a fact that science cannot explain it. Well, there is one science that has made great inroads in explaining Chi power. This is the science of Neutronics.
You won't find Neutronics written of in any textbook, and even google will have a hard time finding it. This is because it is a recent development. It doesn't help that neutronics was discovered outside the empirical theory of modern day science.
There is actually good reason that this new technology was--had to be--discovered outside of normal methods. Neutronics, you see, is the physics behind the physics. While normal science is concerned with measuring the universe, Neutronics defines the reality of the universe.
Neutronics is not concerned with formulas having to do with distance and time and expansion of gases or that sort of thing, but in the actuality of that which is to be measured. What really holds a stone together, that is the arena of this new science, and this was more easily realized through the martial arts, than in western laboratories. Neutronics is the study of the motors that hold this universe together, and any child can understand this, and chi power, once they begin studying martial arts such as pa kua chang, or tai chi chuan, and delving into neutronic theory.
