INVESTIGATION INTO THE "FORCE"
IN PARAPSYCHOLOGICAL WRITING
BY:
Huang Jinggen,
Yu Xinghai
and Shao Laijing
(Fudan University)
ABSTRACT
This article discuses use of
a mechanical balance,
a
thermobalance and
piezoelectric crystal
to study
the
"force" in parapsychological
writing.
Vi thin
the scope of measurements during
the experiment, no measurable
"force"
was observed during parapsychological
writing.
The authors discuss
the
results in
the light of wave and particle dualism of matter.
"Parapsychological writing"
is
one form of human paranormal ability
which has been demonstrated by
a
large number of
experiments
< 1-3 >.
"Parapsychological writing"
includes
a number
of
complex parapsychological
phenomenon including moving
the writing instrument,
breaking
through spacial
barriers and thought directed writing.
These paranormal phenomenon cannot
be
explained using modern scientific knowledge.
However,
the recording of
paranormal
phenomena,
especially
of
the accumulation
of
data on experiments
conducted using strict scientific methods must eventually approach and
disclose the truth
about
this unknown
realm.
In "parapsychological writing"
is there
a
"force" which corresponds
to the movements
of
the
"writing"?
This
is
a major
topic
in
the thoroughgoing research into parapsychological
writing.
The authors used
a mechanical
balance,
a
thermobalance and
piezoelectric crystal
to investigate
the force
in parapsychological writing.
We discovered
that
it was
a
type
of
"imaginary
force"
that accompanies
the
movements
of parapsychological writing.
Within
the parameters
of measurement
in
the experiment,
there was no common physical measurable quality.
THE EXPERIMENTS
1.
THE MECHANICAL BALANCE
The balance was
a semiautomatic TG328B balance.
It has
a glass
cover.
Its
lower
limit
is
0.1
mg.
On
the
left hand plate
of
the balance we placed
a
plastic
film canister.
Inside
the film canister we placed
a square
of
white
paper.
The
lid
to
the
film canister was open
just
a crack.
On
the right
hand plate
of
the balance we placed
a weight piece
of
equal
weight
so
the
balance would
be kept
level with
the pointer
at
the zero marking
(see

.
After observing
for
five minutes,
there was no movement
in
the pointer.
However,
it would move
if
one
less or one more mg weight
piece would be added.
On
a concrete platform outside
the balance
cover we
placed
a fountain
pen.
The
test subject was Little
Ji.
The experiment
required
that
she use her
thought
to "write"
or
"draw"
on
the paper
in
the
film canister with
a black ink fountain
pen.
She was
to concentrate her
thoughts
on
this
to
the exception
of
everything else.
We conducted
a
total
of
nine experiments,
of
which
three were successful.
Each experiment
lasted
for
to
25 minutes.
The words and drawings were
all black like
the
ink
in
the fountain
pen used
in
the experiment.
In
the
three successful
experiments,
two had clear characters and drawings
(see illustration
two)
and
the other had
fairly blurry circles and dots.
Neither
of
two observers
saw
the mechanical balance move
at
all,
demonstrating
that
the film canister was
not under any observable "outside
force".

THE THERMOBALANCE
A thermobalance
is
an instrument which
gives
a continuous
recording
of
the relationship between mass and temperature.
Normally,
the procedure
is
to
control
the
temperature
by heating or cooling
the
sample material
or
to
maintain
the sample
at
a constant
temperature.
In our experiments,
the
temperature was constant
at
room temperature,
and
the lowest measurable unit
was 0.05
mg.
Illustration
three shows
a diagram of
the arrangement.
In
the
experiment
a blank piece
of
tape was stuck
to
the crucible
arm,
the arm was
covered with
a glass
tube
to keep air currents
from affecting
the experiment.
The
test
subject,
Little
Ji,
sat
at
the edge
of
the
table 0.5 meters
from the
balance with her back to the instrument.
On
the
table we placed
a fountain
pen
(to discriminate colors
we used fountain pens with blue and green
ink)
The experiment
required
that
the subject use her thoughts
to "write”
on
the
white tape with
the fountain
pen.
During the experiment,
those administering
the experiment
always observed
the progress
of
the experiment from
the
side,
and the automatic recorder drew
the weight/time graph.
Ten experiments were
conducted
in
all,
and three
of
these were successful.
Each experiment
lasted
approximately
20 minutes.
The "writing"
was always dots and
the same color
as
the
ink used
in
the fountain pens
in
the experiment.
On one occasion
the
"writing"
was green,
and on two occasions
it was blue.

that
there was

of
"force"
in
the "parapsychological writing".

dualism
of
nature" may
be one way
to explain
it.
First,
we hypothesize
that:
If,
just
as microscopic particles such
as
photons,
electrons
and neutrons
have dual wave
and particle natures,
so do macroscopic bodies
(such
as
matter)
have dual wave
and particle natures,
then
such matter waves could be
viewed
as
the macroscopic layer de Broglio wave,
and
according
to the
principles
of quantum physics,
only moving particles have
"wave"
characteristics.
Thus,
here we hypothesize
that macroscopic matter
at
rest
also has
a wave nature.
This
first
of
all,
already
is
a
change
to
the
concepts
of quantum physics.
Presently,
there
is
no experimental basis
for
such
a change.
There
is only
a hypothesis,
a hypothesis
to explain
the
phenomenon
of
paranormal
abilities.

It
is currently generally believed
that
"persons with paranormal
abilities"
can only manifest "paranormal phenomenon" when
they enter
a
"functional
state."
If
the
state which normally exists were called
the
"basic state",
then the "functional
state"
could be called the
"state
of
excitation".
We hypothesize
that
the
"state
of
excitation"
is not
a
single
state but
a multiplicity
of
states,
and
the person with paranormal abilities
carries out
"paranormal
actions" under different
"states
of
excitation."
That persons with paranormal abilities
transmit
"thought waves"
of different
frequencies under different
"states
of
excitation."
When
these "thought
waves"
come into resonance with
the
"matter waves"
of
the object being used,
the "matter waves"
dispersed
by
the matter
in
a
condensed
state being used
will
be greatly increased
from their original very
small
amount.
When
the
person with paranormal abilities conducts
"parapsychological writing",
from
what
they tell
us,
they
fist use
their thoughts
to imagine
the
"pen"
and when

the
"pen"
appears
in
their
"mind",
they imagine
the object on which
the
pen
is
to write
(paper,
tape,
etc).
Finally,
the
’pen" will suddenly write or
make
a mark on
the paper or
tape
in their minds with
a flash
and
the process
is
over.
There are also
times when
the person will use
thought
to image
the
paper or
tape and
then
to
imagine the
"pen"
,
and
finally
the flash described
above.
Generally,
the person need only see
the objects
in
the mind and
finally
to have
the
"flash,
and
the experiment
is usually
a success.
We feel
that
the
thought
imagining
of
the person with paranormal abilities
is
the
process
of
entering
the
"state
of
excitation".
When
the "imagined" object
appears
in
the
"mind",
the wave band
of
the "state
of
excitation" which
the
subject
has
entered
is
in resonance with
the "matter wave"
of
the object
being
imagined.
With different objects being
imagined,
the subjects enters
different
"states
of
excitation.
Only when
the object being imagined
appears
in
the mind
of
the subject
is
there any possibility
of
success.
It would
seem
that
the corresponding resonance
of
the
"thought waves"
of
the
"state
of
excitation"
and
the "matter waves" might be
an major condition
for
"paranormal
abilities"
to occur.
Because
of
the
resonance,
the "matter
waves" will be much stronger,
and using
the
"pen"
for example,
after
the
"pen" waves have been greatly intensified,
they will
pass
through
the
"spacial
barrier"
and "act"
on
the blank paper or
tape.
Only when
this
type
of
"force"
has
reached
a certain intensity will
the
"pen"
be able
to make
a
mark on the blank paper.
This
is
the final
"flash"
in
the mind of
the person
with paranormal
abilities.
However,
this
final
"flash" may also be
hypothesized
to
be
the person with paranormal
abilities entering
a new
"state
of excitation".
The "thought waves"
of
this "state of excitation"
could
cause the "pen's"
"matter waves"
to and
the "paper's"
"matter waves"
in the
subjects mind
to produce an effect
and result
in
"writing" being produced
on
the paper
(this situation
is
similar
to the effect
of
a catalyst
in
chemistry).
Because
the effect
is produced
in
the
form of waves,
it would
not have any measurable mass,
and although there would be signs
of
"writing"
left
behind,
it would not manifest
any quantity of
"force".
The discussion
above,
is actually only an hypothesis,
and
our purpose
is
to throw out
some initial
ideas
to attract others'
opinions
and
to open up
the avenue
of new thinking.
The discussion portion
of
this work was accomplished with
the
participation
of
comrades Van Yuanzhuang,
Fang Linhu,
Zhou Yingqi,
Zeng
Siding and Ni
Dexiang who all
provided their valuable opinions.
We
take
this
opportunity
to express our appreciation.
