Previous pages we talk about memory can be passed down to our next generation. For far too long we are not able to figure out how
is our memory recorded and how is memory can be passed down to our offspring (animal instinct is behavior from memory
passed down to offspring). We need a new approach to solve this problem. Is there something exists in nature which we
are not aware of? My new theory is exactly trying to
find this out. Here I can give you a possible solution.
We can carry out an experiment to verify this possible solution. There is no harm to experiment it.
We have many energy forms, for example kinetic energy,
potential energy, electric and magnetic energy, heat energy, etc.
Then is life also one kind of energy form? I do think so and I have devised an experiment to verify if this is true? Life
is biochemical reaction. Biochemical reaction is strange. It can turn an embryo into a human being. Normal chemical reaction
is random. If biochemical reactions follow our normal physics laws which are random, it should turn the embryo into a piece
of tumor. Therefore life does not follow our physics laws. It has its own laws. There is a mystery we need to solve.
I need to come up with a theory which can solve this mystery and verify if it is true by experiment. The existence of the
“life energy” can solve this puzzle. The following explains how the life energy works. Food is mostly carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are stable at body temperature. In order to make carbohydrates to react chemically, it needs to be brought
up to the activated stage as shown in Fig.1 below. This activation energy is supplied by the life energy. The life energy
can supply activation energy to the designated carbohydrate molecules to urge them to react. How much activation energy do
we need to catalyze the biochemical reaction? We need an experiment to find that out. My estimate is it is about 15% of
the produced energy from the biochemical reaction.
I need to find an experiment which can verify the existence of this “life energy”. As in any energy form, energy can be stored
or released. For example, we can lift a weight to increase its potential energy, and we can recover that energy when the weight
is lowered. This is also likely true with this life energy form. The storage of the life energy must be achieved while we are
sleeping, possibly by the brain since the brain is shut down during sleep for some still not completely known reason. After
sleeping, we feel refreshed, both physically and mentally, because we have re-charged our life energy. Animals are very
vulnerable during sleep, thus there must be a good evolutionary reason for animals to sleep.
We can make a study experiment to verify the existence of this life energy form. A person is sleeping in a bed size human
calorimeter chamber. The chamber can be made of reflective air bubble insulation board
(http://www.aerolaminsulations.com/air-bubble-insulation.php) with a solid wooden frame. The chamber has three holes
for air inlet and respired gas outlet. There is another hole for electric wirings for EEG, temperature sensor and LED light.
We can measure the oxygen consumption and the amount of heat generated by the person while he sleeps. From the oxygen consumption,
we can calculate the amount of energy consumed by the person and compare this with the amount of heat generated by the person.
The difference represents the amount of energy stored up by the life energy. The EEG can tell exactly when the person has
fallen asleep, whether in stages 1, 2, 3, 4, and REM, or awake. The stored up life energy will be used to catalyze biochemical
reactions. After depleting, it needs to be recharged again during sleep.
Next, while the person is awake, we measure the amount of oxygen consumption and heat generation by the body during physical
exercise. From the oxygen consumption, we can calculate the amount of energy that the body consumes and compare it to the amount
of energy that body expends. The remainder is the amount of energy we have recovered from life energy.
In this experiment we are using direct human calorimeter. Direct human calorimeter measurement was replaced by indirect
human calorimeter measurement about 60 years ago. Indirect calorimeter uses oxygen consumption to calculate energy generation.
In this experiment we need to directly measure energy generation and instantly compare it with oxygen consumption.
Direct calorimeter instant measurement of heat generation and compare with oxygen consumption had never
been done. In the old days direct calorimeter measurements usually took the average results of a long period of time, say a few days.
This averaged out the stored life energy in my theory and could not verify its existence.
The most critical point in this experiment is to see if we observe the extra energy recovering from life energy while participants
are awake or doing physical exercise. In physics the input energy from oxygen consumption must equal to the output energy from body
heat. If we can find extra energy, this is contradicting to physics law. The only explanation is this energy comes from the
life energy. This verifies the existence of the life energy. This study experiment measures if energy is lost during sleep
(energy stores up in life energy) and extra energy be found during wakefulness (energy recovers from life energy.)
Fig. 2 shows the outline of the study experiment during exercising and during sleeping.
There will be 3 participants in this experiment. Each participant spends 3 nights sleeping in the calorimeter chamber and 2
hours per day doing physical exercise in the calorimeter. The experiment total lasts 9 days and nights. Because of the size
of the calorimeter, the respired gas can be collected quickly, we can instantly analysis oxygen consumption and heat production
during stages 1, 2, 3, 4 and REM of sleep and during wakefulness and physical exercise while lying down.
I consider my innovative idea of the existence of the life energy has the possibility to be turned out to be true
for the following reasons:
1. Deprivation of sleep in lab animals can cause them to die with no sign of damage to their vital organs. There must be some
mechanism important to biochemical reactions and that becomes exhausted from deprivation of sleep. Possibly the cause is the
lowering of life energy level from lack of sleep. The supply of activation energy by the life energy to allow biochemical reactions
to take place has stopped. Sleep recharges the life energy.
2. The amount of DNA data passed down from the egg and sperm is about 1.5GB. This information is provided by Yevgeniy Grigoryev
of Scripps Research Institute at http://bitesizebio.com/8378/how-much-information-is-stored-in-the-human-genome/. The adult human
body is made up of about 37 trillion cells. A trillion is about 1,000 times bigger than a GB. This 1.5GB is too small for the
alikeness of the twins to occur. In order for the twins’ alikeness to occur, there must be some sort of invisible mold exists that
guides the biochemical reactions. Life energy can supply activation energy to the designated carbohydrate molecules to urge them
to react. Because the reaction only takes place by the designated molecules, the shape of the body can be controlled. This is how
to make twins look alike. The mold must contain a series of frames with a time different of a short period, say a month and run
to the age of 120, the oldest age of mankind. This is like a reel of movie which runs on 24 frames per second for two hours.
Yet the data passed down by DNA is 1000 times smaller than just the total addresses of the cells of one frame. It is impossible
for the DNA to carry the data. There must be some other mechanism which can carry very very large amount of data passing down
together with the DNA. This mechanism is most likely made of life energy because there is nothing else passing down together
with the DNA. When there is a possibility, we should try to experiment it.
3. During organ transplant, it is reported that the memory of donor is also transferred to the recipient as well.
(http://www.mindpowernews.com/OrganMemoryTransfer.htm). Therefore I believe memory is stored in every part of our body by the
life energy. The brain is only a sensor to read the memory recorded in energy form. This is a possibility. The reason why only
15 percent recipients of organ transplant experienced a change in personality is because the transplanted organ is small in
comparison of the whole body. This is a weak memory.
4. This life energy could be in field form.
Our body may not be able to detect this life energy field. But our cells can detect and react to this life energy field.
All fields are a form of energy. We can detect the increase or
decrease of energy to determine the existence of this life energy. The sperm and the egg are the only things we can see pass down to our
children. Are there any other substance also passing down together with the sperm and egg? From a critical thinking approach we cannot
say there is nothing else just because we cannot see. This point is contrary to normal people’s thinking. If there is no
materials that can react to the magnetic field, we will not aware the existence magnetism.
Nature has many tricks. Now the DNA from the sperm and egg cannot provide us with a solution, we have to start a new approach.
May be there is some field exists that we do not know. There is no harm to try it out.
The following is a critical thinking approach to decide whether it is worthwhile to invest in this study. Evaluating a critical thinking
hypothesis is very like making an investment. I need to put in $10,000can dollar (my estimate cost to the best of my knowledge) to carry
out the study. The chance of success is 10%. This is because we have tried everything but we still we cannot find the solution where
our memory is recorded. There is a chance that something exists in nature which we are not aware of. The reward to mankind of
discovering something new in nature is in the billion ($1,000,000,000can). We can make a calculation here. My investment is $100,000can
($10,000x10). But his reward is $1,000,000,000can. When the reward is bigger than the investment, I should take up the investment
and to carry out the study.
Our scientists and students should practise this critical thinking skill. It is only after they have acquired the ability
to see possibilities and determine how good those
possibilities are, then they can come up with revolutionary innovations such as the airplane, the telephone and the talking
machine etc. Those innovative ideas cannot be proven to be true in advance, but there is a possibility the ideas will turn
out to be true. I sincerely hope our scientists and students will start practicing critical thinking skill.
