Hmm, good point. I wonder how they change their temperature though.

That is a fine question as long as you do not fall into the old trap: that something not currently explained or totally understood = magic or God or...

Science is always the enemy until some group can use it to their advantage. 
Like Dawkins said, more or less: Science supposedly cannot explain "God" (the religious God, not Einstein's God). The same people who support this assertion would throw a celebration if anthropologist, for example, stumbled upon any factual proof for incredible biblical claims.
There is no denying that strange phenomena does occur, and frequently. We haven't even touched upon the ultimate potential of technology and medicine. The more we look at physics, the more inextricable it becomes. And just because something doesn't conceptually exist now, doesn't mean that one day it won't, etc.
With those things in mind, and the understanding that science is only one (limited) paradigm for interpreting universal events, human experience and feeling can be overwhelmingly convincing as a source of knowledge. It is just important to remember that, as far as we know, it is incomplete and often inaccurate. Tripping or sober.

i'm sure for someone doing ChiKung or other "energy work" -at least something- can be measured.
maybe today we lack the technological equipment. or maybe the only thing which can be measured is certain areas in the brain, which do not light up in people who do not do the "energy work".
i'm probably wrong but, when we are "sober", and therefor experiencing "real reality", the only thing with which we can measure to prove that "real reality" exist...
is a) because we experience it and b) because certain areas in the brain light up
in other words, there is not much more proof for the existance of "real reality", than for phenomenoms such as "spiritual enlightenment" or "chi"..
i wasn't serious... just so you know

The beauty of this mindset allows shamsters to sell 500,000,000 Xtenze penile enlargement pills even though they don't work.
