The Earliest Magnetic Meridians

The Origin of Meridians

This article explores the origin of meridians. It suggests that the origin of meridians is closely related to the imageries derived by ancient physicians experiencing the circulation of Qi in their bodies during Qigong practice. Based on the cognitive experience from Qigong practice, as well as the symbolic analogy of the flow of rivers and the irrigation system of agriculture, the meridian the...

Evidence of Meridians

In trying to find ways to unite or just bring closer the mysterious transformational techniques of the East to the eductionism theories of the West, our Western medical science has tried to organize a logical explanation of how the insertion of tiny acupuncture needles can reduce and even dissolve pain in the human form. This research takes a look at the different approaches the Biosciences hav...

On optics of human meridians

A new concept and its methodology for studying human meridians are presented based on rigorous and scientific observation on the objective existence of human meridians in view of biomedical optics. According to this methodology, the infrared radiant characteristics of acupuncture meridians over human body and the optical transport properties of light propagating along the meridian are reported....

Meridians and Generalized Augmented Links

We show that in some sense, “most” knots have meridian of length strictly less than 4. We do so by finding geometric information on the cusp shapes of a class of links called generalized augmented links. Since any knot can be obtained by an explicit Dehn filling on one of these links, the geometric information on these links gives geometric information on new classes of knots and links.

The earliest knockouts.
