Albert Szent | Moving Energy (and Prana)
Albert Szent-Györgyi was a Hungarian biochemist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937. He is credited with first isolating vitamin C and discovering the components and reactions of the citric acid cycle. [1]
Devoting himself to a study of the biochemistry of muscular action, he discovered a protein in muscle that he named "actin," demonstrated that it—in combination with the muscle protein myosin—is responsible for muscular contraction, and showed that the compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the immediate source of energy necessary for muscle contraction. Immigrating to the United States in 1947, he was immediately appointed director of the Institute for Muscle Research, Woods Hole, Mass., where he conducted research into the causes of cell division and, hence, cancer.

Our body knows how to heal itself, but there are factors that can reduce this ability to restore equilibrium (homeostasis). When that happen, a disease is likely to develop. According to Albert Szent: In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy."
The concept of moving energy is found in many cultures including Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Chi in TCM , and Prana in Ayurveda express the same concept of vital-energy that moves in our body and in the universe.
Prana , or subtle life force, is not only the basic life-force, it is the original creative power, the master form of all energy working at every level of our being. The entire universe is a manifestation of prana.
But Prana is not measurable as we do in Physics with other forms of Energy.
You'll not find it in the Einstein's equation, though the first and second law of Thermodynamics are getting closer to it.
In particular, The law of conservation of energy states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, and this apply to Prana as well. [3]
