Scientific Validation of Feng Shui

### Humans and Celestial Bodies
In the universe, countless celestial bodies attract or repel each other, influencing nearby objects in various ways. Living on Earth, we are directly affected by other celestial bodies in the solar system. For instance, the sun's light and heat allow life to flourish on Earth, while solar flares can have adverse effects on terrestrial life. The moon influences the tides, affects human emotions, and even impacts women's menstrual cycles. Over 2400 years ago, the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates believed that human organs and functions were governed by celestial bodies, a concept later known as "astrological medicine." Chinese Feng Shui masters, through prolonged observation of the stars, discovered patterns in celestial movements and their impacts on Earth and the human body, forming a concept of harmony among heaven, earth, and humanity.
### The Human Body and Magnetic Fields
Modern science tells us that Earth itself is a giant magnet. Although Earth's magnetic field is relatively weak, it forms the environment in which all terrestrial life has evolved and adapted. However, significant changes in the Earth's magnetic field can greatly affect biological activities and even endanger life. It is said that during a geomagnetic reversal thousands of years ago, seven species disappeared from the Earth. Within the Earth, various elements generate heat, magnetic fields, gravitational fields, and radiation. On Earth's surface, mountains, rivers, plants, and animals also possess their own energy fields, which interact with each other and influence the human body's energy field. When the Earth's magnetic field changes significantly, it can increase the incidence of certain diseases or affect their progression.
### Microwaves
Feng Shui emphasizes "harnessing wind and gathering water to accumulate Qi." Finding places with beneficial Qi that positively affects people is a crucial aspect of Feng Shui. However, Qi has always been an elusive concept in ancient China, with no clear explanation. It wasn't until 1978, when American radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered the cosmic microwave background radiation, that people began to link Qi with microwaves. Modern science has shown that microwaves have properties of penetration, reflection, and absorption. Materials like glass, plastic, and ceramics can be penetrated by microwaves without absorbing them, while water and food absorb microwaves and heat up, and metals reflect microwaves. Microwaves can enhance seed germination and affect the human body. When microwave radiation reaches 4080 MHz, it can penetrate subcutaneous tissues and enter between muscles and bones, enhancing blood and Qi circulation in the body, which is useful in diagnosing and treating diseases. However, long-term exposure to high-frequency microwave radiation can adversely affect the cerebral cortex, causing headaches, fatigue, memory loss, sleep disorders, and neurasthenia.
Therefore, modern Feng Shui believes that places with abundant Qi are those that can effectively receive microwaves. The methods in Feng Shui to dispel negative Qi essentially involve changing the properties of microwaves, converting their harmful effects into beneficial ones. Hence, Feng Shui has acquired a new definition: it is about finding and creating locations where microwaves beneficial to the human body are reasonably concentrated.
### Fate Theory
The fate theory in Feng Shui, scientifically speaking, explores how to adjust human life information and energy to harmonize and resonate with the natural information at different locations, thereby promoting physical and mental health. Modern human bioinformatics suggests that the human body, composed of various chemical elements, is a highly advanced organic life form. Each person is a unique combination of life information and energy that must synchronize with nature to coexist harmoniously. Long before the advent of human bioinformatics, ancient Chinese people proposed a similar fate theory in Feng Shui. The concept of fate involves factors like birth time, location, parents, relatives, and living environment, all of which collectively influence one's destiny. Thus, Feng Shui can be seen as an early study of human bioinformatics.
### Direction Theory
Modern science holds that Earth's magnetic field, with the North and South Poles as its endpoints, plays a crucial role in stabilizing Earth's rotation and the stability of objects on its surface. This magnetic field originates from the magnetic attraction generated during Earth's rotation and revolution. Magnetic forces have directional properties and sensing capabilities, enabling certain Earth features to produce magnetic responses and determine direction. For instance, birds navigate by sensing Earth's magnetic field. Similarly, magnetic fields can subtly affect humans. People in the Northern Hemisphere feel more stable and comfortable sleeping with their heads facing north, as the North Pole's magnetic field has a calming effect on the brain. Conversely, people in the Southern Hemisphere sleep better with their heads facing south. Sleeping with the head oriented east-west can disrupt sleep quality.
