Origins of torsion field science
Across three decades of research, Prof. Si-Chen Lee, former President of National Taiwan University, has used experiment after experiment to turn mystery into science — proposing that the unseen force known as qi is what physics calls the torsion field.
“What is the universe made of?” Jim Peebles, winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics, gave a first answer: 96% of the universe is made up of dark matter and dark energy, and only 4% is known to us. The torsion field is one of the subjects being researched in that unknown territory.
ORIGIN
Origins of the research
When Einstein set out general relativity in 1915, he simplified the mathematics by leaving torsion — the twisting of spacetime — out of the equations as zero. It was not until 1922 that the French mathematical physicist Élie Cartan added the spin angular momentum of torsion back into general relativity, filling the theory out more completely.
Since the 1960s, Russian scientists have studied the torsion field in depth and reported many distinctive physical properties, including that it is not shielded by natural materials and that it leaves a residual effect.
Human potential research at National Taiwan University
Between 2016 and 2019, in the Human Potential research project he ran at National Taiwan University, Prof. Si-Chen Lee found that 15%–20% of participants could feel the torsion field, and that 5% felt its effect on their own meridians — suggesting that although the torsion field is a very weak physical phenomenon, a suitable amplification design can produce an effect people are able to feel.

2013
Paper published
Prof. Si-Chen Lee and his doctoral student Dr. Wei-Chieh Liang published a paper in an international physics journal showing that although the torsion field produced by particle spin is very weak, coupling it with large-scale rotation produces a far stronger torsion field.

2013–2016
Crystal qi field experiments
In the crystal qi field experiments carried out by Prof. Si-Chen Lee and Dr. Hsiung-Kuang Tsai, the results matched the torsion field properties reported by Russian scientists, supporting the conclusion that the qi field produced by crystals is the torsion field.

1960s
Russian torsion field research
Since the 1960s, Russian scientists have studied the torsion field in depth and reported distinctive physical properties: it is not shielded by natural materials, and the spin structure of a space remains even after the torsion source is removed (the residual effect).

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Professor Lee
What is the torsion field?
The torsion field is described as a mysterious fifth force, alongside the four known forces of nature: gravity, the weak force, electromagnetism and the strong force. Across three decades of research, Prof. Si-Chen Lee has used a range of experiments to argue that the unseen force known as qi is in fact the torsion field, and that the qi field described in classical texts is not something imagined.
Is the torsion field electromagnetic radiation?
No. The products use torsion coils whose left-spin and right-spin cancel each other out, leaving the torsion field. In measurements, the electromagnetic radiation given off while the torsion field is at work is lower than that of a wireless mouse, and what people feel from the torsion field is unrelated to electromagnetic waves.
