The third law is definitely a favorite, as is I think to some the turn around that
magic when advanced enough is indistinguishable from
technology.
The reason for this I think is because they are in fact on a level the same thing. Each is in effect taking advantage of the way the
universe works to achieve a purpose...the simplest of technology is using a rock to hit something harder...the simplest of magic likely to cause fright (I'd say if someone is
wielding a rock menacingly I'm likely to be a hair frightened). They differ
at the root only in the
methodology, necessarily, and requirements, frequently.
So both progress, science builds compasses, magic knows the way. Science builds cities, magic founds nations. Science weaves
carbon into
nanotubes, magic weaves
robes of power. Science
crosses the stars, magic crosses the
planes of reality. What seemed at first to be a line ever shifts and blurs.
If technology and magic share a universe, which is of
witch (typo retained for
punness)? Are our precious laws of physics the be all and end all, magic a subset there of, merely shifting the states in the structure? Or is magic the true base, the
meta reality the greater set? Do we need a new term? It wouldn't be the first time, for we
humans to have to ask that question.
