Thinking about the human spine
Like it's all bone
Right - but your spinal cord...
All those bones move and shift with every little movement your body makes and you feel nothing.
Everything moves like a unit in order for you to be in comfort.
And it's weird because had it been your ankle or your wrist you'd be in indescribable amounts of unscrutinized pain.
But your spinal cord; all made up of the same building blocks yet to be one of the most important factors of your well being, works so differently.
Like lets say your swimming
How it is so that your vertebrae is capable of moving like transverse waves?
If the same matter moved elsewhere, it wouldn't work as a unit but as something working against the other.
And it's even crazier because everything should be working together as one in order for you as an individual to work properly.
But instead I think only the spinal cord shadows that because if it were up to your internal organs or your skin or even your knuckles, something within you plays against it and there goes the odds of something happening — but not your cord of course.
The gel is there, with every shifting measure.
But if you were to leave it to your immune system for example, it has the ability to turn against you.
It'll loose its own ability to recognize the differences between foreign materials and its own self made cells; asking for the body to begin attacking its own organs and tissues.
But not the cord, it moves swiftly.. it has chemistry.
