Not a big fan of that paper I am afraid, not a single proper reference in it and no way for me to check the claims made. I ran a few of the names via an academic databases and did not get any hits with regards to papers published in peer reviewed journals.
If I, with my limited knowledge, can spot errors in that paper then, well, I doubt its authenticity. Some of what the paper claims is just patently false. For example, consider this paragraph.
"Physics teaches us that the speed of light is the fastest velocity at which one may transmit material, energy, and information. Are there any material phenomena that can travel faster than the speed of light? From a qigong perspective, it seems very possible. But what kind of energy can make such a speed possible? This is difficult to assess. At the moment, modern scientific means still cannot discover or practically measure such an energy form. It is likely that the speed of thought is faster than the speed of light, but how can this be measured? How can this phenomenon be captured?"
So many errors here that I don't know where to start.
. I am quick witted but my wit faster than the speed of light? I think not given the mechanisms involved in discursive cognition, aka thought.
