I mean, sure, we kinda imbued rocks with lightning and now they can think but it’s not magic
And then we taught those rocks to think in ways we don’t really understand, and dedicated cities worth of electrical energy to allow them to think harder and faster, and gave them the means to improve themselves.
It’s called computer science and it’s not magic and why are you making a pyre
If it’s memory bleeds, we can kill it.
It’s less bleeding and more leaking, computers don’t normally have liquids except for heat mitigation and what’s with the stake and rope?
On this note, one of the best Cosmic Horror shows of all time was Chernobyl on HBO.
A story of a small town affected by forces outside anyone’s understanding. Terrible, primal, cosmic power unleashed and uncontained threatening the entire world. It kills indiscriminately in the most horrible ways, melting people alive and contaminating all it touches after escaping a high-security confinement.
A plucky team of brave souls work tirelessly to find some way to stop the monster from burrowing into the Earth and gaining even more power in a race against time.
And what’s most amazing is no part of it is exaggerated or sensationalized, it’s so accurate to reality that even the actors look like their real-life counterparts. The showrunners went on to work on The Last of Us.
There are universal truths that span time and all eternity. One of those such truths is “The Scooby Doo.” That truth states that it is never spirits, demons, apparitions, or anything unearthly that is the cause of the unexplained, but rather It’s always someone you know. Usually, the person closest to you.
Frequently some breed of capitalist trying to scam someone
If physics are not magic, then how do you explain magnets? Checkmate.
I picture someone like Grand Mage & Dervish Paul Dirac cracking his Special Relativity knuckles as he takes the challenge, “right then…!”
magnets, how do they work
But you want to know what is magic about physics?
Forces. Forces are definitely observable. But they are fictitious. A photon (force mediator of the electromagnetic force) is a packet of energy on the electromagnetic field that creates a curvature in the electromagnetic field such that two particles with opposing charges (intrinsic charge) has that field curved together, resulting in what an observer would see as a force.
Gravity? The thing keeping everything on the ground? Not real. Just a result of the spacetime field being curved by the presence of energy in it. In order to escape the curve, you have to exchange energy, which is to be a force.
The fact that you knew exactly what I was talking about enough to pull up the relevant XKCD is impressive good sir/ma’am/(actually I don’t know what the non binary term would be there. I know military it’s “Sir” regardless).
Also gravitons exist, unless you’re looking for them, then they don’t. Also they move in curved space time but also don’t.
Yes, this is totally real, not just stuff we made up stoned.
not a demon (it’s worse)
You will spend a week wishing for an eternity of damnation instead.
Invisible forces controlling literally everything!? Nerd magic.
No no no, there are no forces. It’s energy controlling invisible fields literally everywhere.
Physics, is it’s own terror
Full bridge rectifiers, not even once.
Oh boy, just wait until you hear about zero-crossings and phase-lock loops.
Anyway it’s still not clearly solved, several hypotheses, the Mpemba effect, a almost daily phenomen in which hot water freeze faster than cold one. Excluded evaporation as cause, because the effect is also observed in a closed container.
Quarks literally named magic, charm, top, bottom, vers.

It took me longer that I’d like to admit to realize that the magic glowing rocks below Paradis in Attack on Titan were just nuclear fuel all along.
Me in 2012 - hahahaha stupid Juggalos, asking how magnets work
Me a month later - wait, I was a physics major for a year, and I can’t really say how magnets work? Woop Woop.
Ill take one Glowing death aura please
