If the mind can control the body, why does it need a bridge?

All interconnection of dissimilar objects, energies, or systems need some form of interface that can convert, translate, or bridge the basic protocols of each side to the other - to me, ki serves that purpose between mind and body.

They have found other solutions because that one was wrong. I'm not having a conversation here about whether or not human sacrifice is wrong.

You brought up the sacrifice thing not me - I just did not see it as a good analogy because ki/qi is still believed in by most Chinese.

The point of the blog post is that I think we do have better solutions. We have physics.

Physics is a science and they had their sciences as well - there is nothing as constant as change, and physics today is different than the physics of yesterday as well as be different tomorrow.

How come physicists have never found ki on the electromagnetic spectrum, then?

Not all things in that spectrum were identified from day one - as new things are discovered, they are added - to me, ki could very easily be added in the future.

Are you saying that I should be able to stand still, make no physical movement at all, and make you feel "energy movement", just with the use of my mind and will? That sounds like a magic trick, not martial art.

Absolutely, with the proper physical connection - but not just with your mind and will, ki plays a crucial role in that process - been there done that.
