Super interesting! As a parent of a 26 yo , diagnosed with a choroid plexus papilloma at age 6 months and later a third ventricular cyst, this topic is super important to me. She has a multi shunt system, a collapsed left vent. And other brain abnormalities/consequences , I will happily wait for installment two!

We have discussed “fluid mechanics “ and “plumbing issues” with the neurosurgeon(s) ad nauseum. She is a complicated case.

In his book "Longevity" Dr. Peter Attia asserts that we are moving from Medicine 2.0 (current) to Medicine 3.0 where study goes in much greater depth. At 76 I most likely won't see the ultimate outcome, but I suspect in another 30 years or so our current medical treatment will be regarded the same way we now regard the leeches for bloodletting. My dusty BA in mathematics leaves me with a limited grasp of biochemistry, but it's really interesting to see physics becoming equally important. Looking forward to part 2!

Deeply fascinating. (Or maybe fasciculating!) I've been helping the conventional notion by illustrating it in my courseware. If this is wrong, the animation needs to change.
