physics.
It
is important to include to the comprehensive
. somatic
research of these phenomena the advanced tools and techniques of
modern physics,
including those of experimental nuclear physics
[ 1 ].
The goals
of this experiment are the following:
.
To look for changes
in the microscopic structure and
properties
of the object that,
as
a result of psychokinesis
(PK)
,
penetrated the bottle's wall.
2.
To study the mechanism of the PK-induced penetration by
testing,
using nuclear trace detectors,
whether the macroscopic
objects disintegrate during the penetration
(with speed smaller
than the speed of light)
into nuclear size particles.
In conducting of this experiment we cooperated with Mr.
Zhang Baosheng
— famous because of his outstanding paranormal
abilities.
He
is currently employed at the Institute of Space
Medico-Engineering
(ISME)
.
The experiment was done on July
10,
1988
at the China Institute of Atomic Energy.
I
- The Experiment
1.
Recognition of characters sealed
in an envelope
(test of
clairvoyance)
,
and transfer of an object and written characters
into the sealed envelope
(test
of
PK)
.
In
a sealed business envelope two pieces of polyester foil
were prepared
in advance.
One of them was transparent,
about 2mm
thick.
Four Chinese characters
"
" were written on
it
with
a red,
fine point permanent marxer.
After writing,
the text
was covered by
a
0.5 mm thick trace detector that looks like
a
common red translucent
foil.
Both foils were taped together
making the text impossible to read or even see under normal
viewing conditions.
The only person who knew the text and the
contains of the envelope,
prepared
in advance,
was
Dr.
Li.
Before
the experiment he did not communicate with Mr.
Zhang.
After Mr.
Zhang arrived,
at first his clairvoyance abilities
were tested by showing him the envelope.
Upon presentation,
Mr.
Zhang gave
a proper description of the content of the envelope as
two rectangular pieces of
foil,
one of them red,
held together in
four corners by adhesive tape.
He also said that there were
4 red
characters written on the
foil but he could not
see them clearly.
In his attempts to guess he wrote
"
",
" A
".Then,
he crossed everything over.
Finally he gave up saying again that
he could not see clearly.
Next,
Mr.
Zhang folded one of the edges of the envelope,
sufficiently to cover
a small
coin,
and handed
it to one of the

is indeed
in the fold and not in the envelope,
held
it visible to
all the present.
After
a short pause Mr.
Zhang said "O.K."
and,
indeed,
the coin was no longer outside but inside the envelope.
After that Mr.
Zhang wrote
"
i&jft
"
"
" with a
ball pen on the envelope.
He
is known to be able to transfer
<
characters written on an envelope into the paper that
is
inside
the envelope.
Unlike
in previous tests,
this time the use of
polyester foils was intended to make such
a transfer impossible
since ball pen
ink can not adhere to the type of foil that was.
used.
Not being aware of that,
Mr.
Zhang announced,
after a brief
concentration,
that the text has been transferred.
Before being cut open with scissors,
the envelope was
scrutinized in turns by several investigators
for possible signs
of tampering but none were
found.
The coin and the foils were
retrieved from inside.
The three sentences were indeed written
inside.
However,
not on the foils but,
reduced
in size and not
altered
in shape,
on the pieces
of Scotch Tape holding the foils
together.
.
Destruction of
a watch
During the experiment Mr.
Zhang expressed his wish to brake
a watch.
Dr.
Li immediately surrendered his own for that purpose
-
a mass produced,
mechanical watch;
11 Beijing”
brand.
Dr.
Li was
asked to hold the watch inside his clasped
fist.
Next,
Mr.
Zhang
made
a gesture as
if he were picking something from
Dr.
Li's
skin,
from the back of his closed palm,
between the thumb and the
index finger.
What Mr.
Zhang picked up was
a minute hand.
In the
same fashion he extracted also
a second hand and an hour hand.
This process was slow enough that all
the present could clearly
see the hands emerging
from
Dr.
Li's
skin.
Dr.
Li did not feel
any pain or other sensations associated with the parts piercing
his hand.
It was the first documented event of
an object
penetrating human body
in such
a
fashion.
"The watch's glass
is broken” stated Mr.
Zhang.
Indeed,
when
Dr.
Li opened his hand there was
a clear gap running across the
length of the glass.
From the condition of the edges
it appeared
that the damage was inflicted by partial melting of the organic
glass. All three hands were missing and there were deep scratches
on the metal back of the watch,
as
if someone would use
a file on
it,
but the mechanism of the watch was still ticking.
3.
Test of psychokinesis involving objects penetrating obstacles
Two bottles were prepared:
(1)
The bigger one,
made of clear glass,
was approximately
cm high, n
cm in diameter.
It was
a standard bottle used
in
hospitals
for transfusions
of saline solution.
It can be
distinguished by
a tight rubber plug with
a long rubber skirt
that folds out on the bottle's neck providing a firm and
difficult to remove lid.
Inside the bottle were:
a pellet
containing
a radioactive
a source
( 241Am)
,
an a-Fe Mossbauer

Inside the sealed pouch in the

During the experiment one of the investigators
(Dr.
Du)
held
the larger

in both hands.
Mr.

During the experiment Mr.

One of
the investigators

Mr.

fabric and
a number of black,
burned spots appeared.
Using his
thumb,
Mr.
Zhang touched the fabric
in a
few more places creating
each time burned spots.
II
- Analysis of the samples
1.
Measurement of the properties
of the superconductors
In the experiment we have used Y-Ba-Cu-0 ring shape
superconductor node
(joint)
called bridge node.
Heating
it above
400 °C as well
as mechanical damage or any structural changes
would have an effect on its superconducting properties.
In spite
of having penetrated through many layers of trace detector
foil
and through the bottle's wall,
the bridge node retained it's
magnetic sensitive properties.
The response to AC and DC magnetic
field was measured,
within the experimental uncertainty,
to be
the same as before.
2. Measurement of the properties of the radioactive
a source
In the experiment we have used
a
1/iCi,
2mm
in diameter,
^ 41Am a
source
(from
a fire detector).
Ten days prior to the experiment
the
a spectrum was measured with a Si(Au)
surface barrier
detector.
Some
28 hours after the exposure to the paranormal
abilities the spectrum was remeasured under otherwise the same
conditions.
Neither the intensity,
nor energy distribution showed
any changes above the error limits.
. Mossbauer spectrum measurement
In the experiment we have used Mossbauer a-Fe absorber;
Mm thick,
10 mm in diameter.
There were two such absorbers.
One
served as
a reference sample,
while the other,
some 48 hours
after
it penetrated the bottle,
was used to measure Mossbauer
spectrum.
Mossbauer spectrum is
a sensitive probe of a nuclear
environment.
If there were changes
in charge distribution of the
atomic electrons or in nuclei themselves,
• the Mossbauer spectrum
would change also.
There were no changes observed
in the
Mossbauer spectrum of the a-Fe absorber after it penetrated the
wall of the bottle.
4.
Analysis of gas chromatogram of the liquor sample
Dagu liquor sample was used.
Although
it did not emerge from
the bottle
it could have been influenced by paranormal abilities.
Gas chromatogram of the sample was made.
It showed that the
spectrum and the alcohol content did not change.
It means that
there were no obvious changes
in the molecular structure of the
sample.
