hmmm... why did they take so long to find out something in the body?

#22That's amazing!
We have 2018 and still find such important stuff!
The focus on the cancer PR bingo kinda plays the message down a little... This isn't just important for the understanding of cancer spreading. This could explain and effect so much more.
Just give them their damn nobel price!

No, bodily "energy flows" are all in the head. It's very easy to think yourself into all sorts of physical sensations.
So how do you explain the ability for a man to delay orgasm as long as desired through tantric sex? The technique is to draw energy upwards from the genitals so as not to reach an energetic "critical mass" and trigger the "usual reflex". However if you were to mean that energy flows are controlled by the mind, then you'd be bang on. "Where the mind goes, the chi flows" as they say.

It's complicated science. Kind of like physics or chemistry. We just don't know how we could live forever.

Because sexual response is controlled by the brain.
If I imagine myself in a calming forest, I can feel calmer and my heart rate may go down. Does that mean I magically transported my soul to a forest or some other such superstition?

Yes.
Or at least some cultures { think of it / use language } in that way

I don't know that it's so much about "finding" organs anymore, it's more a process of "defining" them.
This article doesn't seem to outline a redefinition, but an actual discovery as a result of better imaging technology. It makes you wonder what other things we can only see in a living body.
It's more of a novel way of seeing what we knew was there, and then some willfully clever writing to make the scientifically routine sound new again. The interstitial space and it's role in carrying debris, waste products, and cells into the lymphatic system is well described, indeed a fundamental premise of physiology in health and disease. Extracellular fluid constitutes about 1/3 of a human's fluid volume. Do you really think we haven't thought about where that 15 liters is?
As was said on the other thread, this is like buying the Hubble Space Telescope, pointing it between Mars and Jupiter and breathlessly reporting a new kind of planet that consists of a lot of rocks spread in an orbital ring.

It's nothing to do with reducing your arousal, but redirecting the nervous energy away from the genitals.
