	This is especially true when it comes to the martial arts. I
 have seen, with my very own eyes, and with the eyes of several hundred
en, along with many others, people perform what is called a
 soft break. The idea is that rather than breaking a 1.5 inch cinder block
 with brute force, the person breaking the  block concentrates his energy 
 in his hand, and with a light tap breaks the block. I have seen this done
 many times. By all laws of physics the tap is not enough force to break the
 block. Yet, it breaks. The blocks were not tampered with, as I bought them
 myself and brought them to the exhibition.

	If we do not believe in some other forces, aside from normal physics
,
 it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to explain the breaking of
 the cinder block. Anyone have any explainations?
