44. Yes, but
was the "are thoughts affecting the particles" the purpose of the study, or was it an observation in the course of studying, say, the make up of subatomic particle. I.e. was it a scientific study set up to test the effects on molecules by doing a double blind study.

From what I'm aware, there are some kinesiology-related study of blood pressure and meditation. I couldn't direct you to an exact study, but I have read studies seeing the effects of excercise, psychological stress, and meditition on blood pressure. There was a group in France (I think..again, this was some time back) who was studying the effects of meditation on blood pressure and temperature sensitivity in Tibetan monks. I can't remember much about the study, though. If I can find some time (which is doubtful), I'll see if I can dig something up. My suggestion to you is to do a google search or look on medline.
