Interesting outlook,,,do others agree ?
Use of expansive strength.
When expansive muscular strength is used, all contractive strength is released, allowing the body to liquefy.
When strength is required while in this liquefied state, nerve impulses that normally are utilized to cause muscles to contract, instead, cause the water in the muscle cells to expand and, thereby, become pressurized.
This pressure pervades the whole body. A principle in physics, called Pascal’s principle, states: “Any change in the pressure at any point in a confined liquid is accompanied by the same change in pressure at every other point.”
During the exertion of external force, if any increase or decrease is required by external conditions, there is no need for any neurological activity or analytical processing; because of Pascal’s principle, as soon as there is a sudden increase or decrease in external force,
the hydraulic pressure within the body automatically adjusts, virtually instantaneously.
Stability
One important distinction between contractive and expansive strength applies to the exertion of force on you by an opponent (or the exertion of force by you on him). A basic principle in physics that governs situations involving the application of force of one body on an other is Newton’s third law, which states: “If object A exerts a force on object B, then B exerts an equal and opposite force on A.” This law applies to all bodies—sentient or not, stationary or moving. A corollary of Newton’s third law is that it is impossible for you to exert a force on another person or object without that person or object exerting the same force back on you (See Fig. 1).
"Chuckrow’s Ph.D. is in experimental physics from NYU. He has taught physics at NYU, The Cooper Union,
Fieldston, and other schools for forty-three years."
"He has studied T’ai Chi (Taiji), Ch’i Kung (Qigong), and other movement and healing arts since 1970 under masters such as Cheng Man-ch’ing, William C.C. Chen, Elaine Summers (1925–2014) (read my talk at a celebration for her in 2004), Alice Holtman, Harvey I. Sober, Kevin Harrington, and Chin Fan-siong. He has taught T’ai Chi extensively, is certified as a master teacher of Kinetic Awareness®"

Generally, Taijiquan is based on some principles shared by all styles of practice. However, there is considerable difference in how those principles are interpreted and physically implemented.
