measuring Chi

your approach to the question seems balanced, kudos.

a theory;  we can consider chi the essence of that which is. Scientifically speaking, this theoretic chi is comparable to our universe's zero point, prior to the big bang where all "chi" was condensed to a single unit before being expanded. Not to be confused with zero point energy, but the potential that held our material universe before it's initial expansion.

There is a clue for us here in that when we compare space beyond the edge of the universe (http://www.universetoday.com/83167/universe-could-be-250-times-bigger-than-what-is-observable/) to space within the edge of the universe, we find a difference in that space within the edge of the universe has the potential to conduct matter where space outside the edge of the universe does not as matter has yet to reach it's distance.  From this point we can draw from what we have learned through science, that any given point of empty space within our known universe is a potential conduit for all states of energy - therefore it is in this potential that there must be Chi. With this consideration we can ask; "how can we measure the *potential* for Chi?"
some hypothesis are:

Can higher IQ individuals have a greater impact on a random event generator than a layman/lower IQ individual? (see p.e.a.r - http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/)

Can Qi-Gong practitioners effect biological variables in others more than non qi-gong practicioners, given the restriction of 'no-touch'? (see  http://zeniclinic.com/zen/articles/QigongTouch_NoTouch.pdf)

Is there a correlation between the variety of growth in a plant that is seen by people compared to one unseen by people that isn't related to environmental conditions?
