Synopsis

Tai chi, a Chinese martial art developed based on the laws of nature, emphasises how "to conquer the unyielding with the yielding". The recent observation of star formation shows that stars result from the interaction between gravity, turbulence and magnetic fields. This interaction again follows the natural rules that inspired tai chi. For example, if self-gravity is the force that dominates, the molecular cloud will collapse isotropically, which compresses magnetic field lines.
