If physics are not magic, then how do you explain magnets? Checkmate.
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.
I mean, sure, we kinda imbued rocks with lightning and now they can think but it’s not magic
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.
No black magic here!
From The dudes using candles, incense, and chanting something about the machine spirit while using this:
Let’s not forget they’re fiddling strange multi pronged metal sticks, muttering about impedance matching, in a giant spiky room with large metal doors.
Why is the mercury arc rectifier getting a “what the fuck”? I don’t know much about them, are they more magic than glowing rocks, runes, levitation and demon cores?
Just piggy backing this comment to save people a click. A mercury-arc valve is used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). It probably got a WTF for how weird it looks and how it looks like a crystal ball when it’s working.
no, but they will also kill you (but not by magic)
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.
Faster moving molecules will randomly arrange themselves into a lattice quicker than slower moving ones?
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
magnets, how do they work
They don’t. If they do, it’s a union and they have the strongest untouchable force with their own kind.
Full bridge rectifiers, not even once.
Oh boy, just wait until you hear about zero-crossings and phase-lock loops.
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
not a demon (it’s worse)
You will spend a week wishing for an eternity of damnation instead.
Ill take one Glowing death aura please
