spacialeyesPardon my intrusion!
[The young man on screen is seated in what looks like a standard apartment. He's surrounded by books already, most of which relate to physics and science.]
I've been here for a few weeks now and I've been wondering... With all of us from different worlds, with different realities to ground us, I imagine that we use these terms differently. So...
What do the words 'magic' and 'science' mean to you?
For me, 'science' is about explaining the world around you through experimentation and testing. People use science to claim that they understand how the world works and even try to control elements of it. In contrast, 'magic' is used to describe something that you currently cannot explain through experiments and tests. In my world, humans seek to explain away magic with science as if they are polar opposites.
But in conversing with others, I've found that some worlds use these terms differently. I'd like to hear more about that, if I may. I think it may be useful for helping me understand this world's concept of 'reality' and our place within it. Oh, and feel free to discuss amongst yourselves..? The exchanging of information can only be a good thing.
