This theory doesn't work. Once they found an answer, there could have been even more funding, to find out how it works, how to harness it, how to heal, how to put into electric cars, AI and robots..... As to your post about substantial increase in health, it is commonly observed that a healthy person would encounter less result from QG or cultivation e.g. a young person. While a sick or old or both person could see a more substantial improvement. This seems strange. You say you have been healthy all along, right? Another explanation could be some of the QG, breathing exercises have a stimulating effect but they also use up your reserve fast. It is ok for a young and vital person who replenish easily. Cultivators could feel full of energies, pinkish face and skin, sleep very little and yet full of drive, strong voice. Old books say it is burning your Jing/essence, your body is emptied with internal fire raging on uncontrolled. Just be careful.

Oxygen

I think attributing Chi to oxygen and ATP don't make too much sense. China side so many scientists and patriots have been fervently trying to find out the secret of Chi for many many years. But they have no conclusive result yet. Don't these highly qualified people never think of simplistic stuff like oxygen and ATP?

In China, most people, cultivators, health, martial and sport enthusiasts do not take time to investigate what is Chi or many of the abstract terms. They mainly approach Chi on its energetic properties, lesser as a substance. So it is natural the outsiders like the "West" would view Chi as totally energy. It is unlike when we use a phone, who would bother about the chips and circuits or the theories behind them. The Chinese work on the map, the west wonder what is in the map, but all are maps, not real.

AI and translator are only effective if the person is well versed with the subject and is able to find out the mistakes and correct them. If a person only reads a few websites and think he already knows everything and then use AI/translator, the result would be a disaster. Post such result on the web would spread the wrongs to subsequent usage by everyone. I do not trust AI as it even can't give correct info like fare, opening hours and so on.

Far from it. The Taoist movement is merely up and down of the whole body for a few inches in quick succession. It is better classify into pure physical movements, a mini bouncing, but not tremor or vibration. If cat is to be used as an example, it is more like the cat shaking the water onto you, or dogs too.

Of course not. Wonder why you look into such old post? After so many years, I do have new opinion on continuous shaking. Firstly some Taoist sect says it would deplete your Chi if you do it too much. That is reasonable, everything got a cost. The second observation is that it could be dangerous for some - e.g. retinal detachment, hernia etc. So be careful. The third observation is it could have some benefits on cancer treatment. After chemotherapy, the disease sometime relapse. It is partly due to some cancer cells are not killed completely. One of the reasons is the compressed blood vessels around the tumor which limited the entry of drugs. So continuous shaking in the same direction vs normal exercises or Chi Kungs which move in all directions could be more useful in opening additional compressed capillaries for drugs to reach the destination.

If you are depleted, then sleep more, don't get up early until you are reasonably replenished. By the way, from childbirth means from your own birth or from your child's birth.

The lack of progress is on science discovery. The technology side has so much progress.

Centralization ensures a certain quality, like Vatican. Teachers and what they teach are rather standardized. Buddhist monasteries serve similar function. But the drawbacks are many too.

It sounds like centralization vs decentralization, monotheism vs diversity to me.

The future buildings would mostly look like today's. We have plenty of buildings 50 years, 100 years or even few hundred years still being in use.

When we say scientists, what do we mean? I suppose only research scientists are scientists. Engineer, doctors and other professionals are not scientists?

I think it is not so ethical to ask newbie to donate their energy or whatever, until they have lots of them.
