Scientists have always been searching for the eluding link between spirituality and science. There are some who believe that the fundamental essences of the universe are energy and information. As per the current understanding energy and matter always co- existed and is considered to be one and the same.

Over the past half a century or so some of the scientists realized the existence of an unknown energy that operates on the mental and emotional levels often causing phenomena that are classified as paranormal. Several attempts are made to scientifically study the miraculous powers of saints, God men, healers, and practitioners of holistic/ alternative medicines etc. The attempts did not result in any significant success.

Life Energy/ consciousness/ information signals are found to be transmitted by a unique individual Mr. Mahendra Kumar Trivedi. He defies the laws of human physiology and has been performing what a layman would call 'miracles'.  Several thousands of people in many countries all around the world suffering from physical, mental, spiritual and emotional disorders within last 12 years have been cured by Mr. Trivedi's physical touch/ thought intervention.

Are these Placebo effects or Real? To rule out the possibility of placebo effect and for deeper understanding Mr. Trivedi had conducted thousands of experiments in Life sciences and Materials science to observe the impact of his blessing(Divine energy) through thought intervention/ physical touch on several seeds/ plants/ trees, pathogenic bacterias, fungi, viruses, Metals ,Ceramics, Polymers, Organic & Inorganic compounds with the help of most sophisticated technologies available with the existing science. The results are miraculous, way beyond the comprehension and knowledge of present sciences. Typically, the DNA finger printing revealed that the energy caused DNA polymorphism up to 69% in crops and 79% in bacteria. As per the current understanding the gene sequences never alter for thousands of generations till evolution occurs (due to the primary forces between the genes as the latter are composed of atoms). The efforts of the scientists, using a variety of experimental techniques to alter the gene sequences had so far met with moderate success. Perhaps for the first time Mr. Trivedi has demonstrated the alteration of the gene sequences by huge proportion and that to by only his thought intervention/ physical touch.

After obtaining astounding results in life sciences and to get an in-depth understanding of atoms Mr. Trivedi had designed a project in Materials science to comprehend the impact of his Energy at the atomic and molecular level which are not normally considered to have life of their own although they are building blocks of universe. He had selected more than 250 varieties of Metals, Ceramics, Polymers, and Organic and Inorganic compounds for experimentation with the help of several sophisticated instruments. The results are unbelievable and indicate that atoms and hence molecules do have a memory and respond to consciousness energy by altering their mass, charge and other characteristics. Normally the changes caused by external applied force/energy will revert back due to the restoring forces operating at the atomic level. However, the above mentioned changes are found to be permanent and do not alter even after the force is removed; even in the absence of Mr.Trivedi's physical presence. To the best our knowledge this is the first time the Miracles are verified through scientific data. It is as if Mr. Trivedi at will commands energy to become matter and vice versa as indicted by change in atomic weight, atomic charge, the impossible change in ¹²C/¹³C abundance and even the changes in the spin states of electrons.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

The results obtained on various metallic, ceramic and polymer powders given in subsequent pages are inconceivable and indicate the following facts;

1. Mr. Trivedi’s Divine Energy had changed the distance between atoms in the unit cell of a crystal to a maximum of 3.9% and minimum of 0.66 % while the unit cell volume showed a maximum change of 7.79% and a minimum of 1.86%. This means that the powder particle is either elongated or compressed by an amount greater than 0.2% which is normally considered as elastic limit for most solids. These results indicate that the crystal unit cell had undergone permanent compression or elongation (plastic deformation) without changing its structure which is an impossibility as per current knowledge. It is much more surprising that even the unit cells in ceramics which are elastic solids (these solids break into pieces by cracking under applied force and are not supposed to change dimensions of the unit cells) showed similar permanent dimension changes.

2. All the powders showed an increase in crystallite size (single crystal size or average size of an assembly of number of unit cells with similar orientation of crystal planes) with a maximum of 166.74% and a decrease with a minimum of 66.8%. This indicates that the Divine energy is causing in some cases the crystals to grow by removing inter crystalline boundaries (grain boundaries)/ aligning the planes in several neighbouring crystals, while in others the crystal size is decreased by fracture through the internal defects or sub boundaries. This is only possible under very high applied loads.

3. The effective nuclear charge on the atoms in the crystal decreased by a maximum of 10.85% while in some cases it increased by maximum of 2%. If Divine energy compresses the atoms, the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus will be compressed closer to the nucleus there by increasing the nuclear charge on the surface of the atom. This increases the binding energy between the atoms resulting in high strength, increased melting point and high hardness. The reverse happens in the case of tensile force which stretches the electron cloud away from the nucleus thus making the atom exhibit a decreased nuclear charge. This will make the solid weak, deformable and reactive with the surroundings.

4. So far atomic and molecular weights are assumed to be constant. However, the samples treated by divine energy showed an increase in atomic weight by a maximum of 7.79%. In a similar impossible result the mol% neutrons increased up to 13.43 (approximately 1022 out of 1023 neutrons and protons) and decreased up to 4.38% (approximately 1021 out of 1023 neutrons and protons). Together with observation that the atomic weight and atomic charge are inversely proportional to unit cell volume these results indicate a change in neutron to proton ratio in the nucleus.

The results are unprecedented and prove that the Divine Energy converted mass into energy and energy into mass at will possibly through the reversible weak interaction of larger cross section amongst several others that are postulated to occur during big bang such as
v_e + n  ‹-› e^- + p  or  n ‹-› e^- + p + v_e
Where, n= neutron, v_e = electron neutrino, p = proton and e^-  = electron.

PLAN OF EXPERIMENTS

X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique is sensitive at the atomic and crystal structure level. X-rays incident upon a material are diffracted and the wavelength and intensity of diffraction beams are monitored. The results are given in the form a table or chart of intensity of the spectral peaks on y axis and 2θ on the x- axis (Bragg’s law states that for conditions of x-ray diffraction 2d sin θ = n λ, where λ is the wavelength of the incident x-rays, θ is the angle of diffraction and n is the order of spectrum usually taken to be 1). The data obtained are compared with standard Powder Diffraction Files (PDF) available from database of powder diffraction patterns of The International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) to identify the Miller indices (the numbers that indicate the plane inside a crystal on which the diffraction takes place) in the sample spectrum.

Normally X-ray diffraction is used to identify the crystal lattice, compute the lattice parameters (a, b and c which represent the distance between atoms on geometrical sides of a unit cell of a crystal, and, α, β and γ the angles between the sides), concentration (assumed to be proportional to the intensity of the strongest peak corresponding to the substance in question), and average crystallite size (the size of a number of unit cells with orientations same in all three dimensions. This is also known as the size of the single crystal and can be obtained from the width of the peak at half maximum height).

Having noticed the effect of Mr. Trivedi’s Divine Energy on plants, microbes, bacteria etc., the x-ray diffraction in the present experiments is used to evaluate apart from the usual parameters, the parameters that are related to energy changes with in and between atoms, such as the effective nuclear charge on the atom, the change in atomic weight, the number of neutrons and protons etc.

A summary of the data obtained after analysis is given in the Tables as well as presented in the form of Charts. It should be noted that t1, t2, t3, and t4 designate the powders treated at different times and as such are given different amounts of Divine/ consciousness energy. The only common factor among these is that the samples are drawn from the same control powder and given energy at different times.

Both the control and treated samples are analysed using powder Phillips, Holland PW 1710 XRD system.

  DATA ANALYSIS

  The data is obtained in the form of 2θ Vs Intensity chart as well as a detailed table containing 2θ⁰, d value Å, peak width 2θ⁰, peak intensity counts, relative Intensity %, etc. The spectra are compared with standard JCPDF data base and the Miller Indices h, k and l for various 2θ⁰ values are noted. The data is analysed as follows;  

1) The lattice parameters for each type of crystal are calculated using the specific formulas  

Tetragonal crystal                  1/d² =  (h² + k²)/ a² + (l² / c² ) where a  and c are the length of the sides of                                                                                                   the tetragonal unit cell
                                                 Volume of unit cell = ca²

Hexagonal crystal                   1/d² =   (4/3) [(  h² + hk + k²)/ a² ] + ( l² / c²)  where a  and c are the length                                                                                                                         of the sides of  the tetragonal unit cell

                                                 Volume of unit cell = 0.866 ca²

Orthorhombic crystal            1/d² = (h²/ a ² )+ (k ² / b² )+ (l ² /c ²) where a, b  and c are the length of the                                                                                                                 sides of the orthorhombic unit cell

                                                  Volume of unit cell = a b c  

The parameters for the remaining crystal structures are evaluated using the Powderex software.

All the dimensions of lattice parameters a, b and c are in Å or in 10^-10 m, while the unit cell volume has dimension 10 ^-24  cm ³.

  2) θ⁰ values are converted from degrees to radians by multiplying with π/ 180 or with 0.0175. Similarly

the peak width at half maximum is also converted to radians by multiplying with 0.0175. Then the crystallite size is calculated using the formula,

crystallite size  = k λ/ b Cos θ 

where λ is the wavelength of x-radiation used and is 1.54056 x 10^-10 m and k is the equipment constant with a value 0.94. The obtained crystallite size will be in nano meters or 10 ^-9 meters. Crystallite size in most ceramics can correspond to size of single crystal (arrangement of repetitive number of unit cells with same planar orientation). In metals, on the other hand crystallite size can also correspond to sub grain size where the grain size is equivalent to single crystal size. It is also possible that some part of the peak width could be due to the instrument broadening (already corrected) while the other part is due to the strain in the crystal lattice.

  3) After evaluating the above mentioned characteristics, the analysis now shifts gear to understand the changes between the atoms and with in the atom. The main characteristics used for this purpose are as follows;

  Percent change in lattice parameter is the ratio of difference in parameter of control and treated samples to the parameter of control sample expressed as per cent. Typically for the parameter a, this is equal to100 x (Δa/a _c) where Δa = (a _t- a _c)/a _c . This is also known as strain, and, when multiplied with the elastic modulus gives the force applied on the atoms. When the force is compressive the change is negative while a positive value indicates a stretching or tensile force.

  Percent change in atomic weight.  

The weight of atom was computed from the sum of all electrons, protons and neutrons.

Weight of atom = number of protons x weight of proton + number of neutrons x weight of neutron                                                    + number of electrons x weight of electron

Since the number of atoms per unit cell of the crystal is known, the weight of the unit cell is computed. The latter divide by the volume of the unit cell gives the density.

In order to understand whether the life energy can change the atomic weight of the substance the density of the control sample as obtained from the above mentioned calculation is taken as constant and used for computing the weight of the atom of treated samples.

The weight of the atom when multiplied by the Avogadro's number (6.023 x 10²³) gives the atomic weight (M) or the weight of a gram atom of the substance.  The ratio difference in atomic weight between control and treated samples to the atomic weight of control sample was expressed as percent change in atomic weight. Typically this is same as 100 x (ΔM/M _c) where ΔM = (M_t- M _c)/M _c .

Percent change in positive charge per unit volume

The atomic radius is obtained by dividing the lattice parameter a with 2. r = a/ 2

Then the volume of the atom is obtained by assuming it to be spherical       V = 4 π r ³ /3

The positive charge per unit volume of the atom due to protons is computed by multiplying the number of protons (p) in the atom with elementary charge 1.6x 10 ^-19 coulombs and then by dividing with the volume of the atom.

Positive charge per unit volume of atom = Z ⁺ =  1.6x 10 ^-19  x  p / V   coulombs/ Cm ³   

The percent change in positive charge per unit volume ΔZ between control and treated samples was then obtained as   ΔZ % = 100 (Zt⁺ - Zc⁺)/ Zc⁺.
