Magic

Posted at 12:22 pm

Magic, in the paranormal sense of the word may be defined as ‘anything alleged to exist that is not explainable by any present laws of science.’  Of course this leaves us with a partial explanation for magic in that it is completely plausible by this definition that science has not yet caught up with the particular phenomena.  For instance, there is no scientific law or evidence that indicates even a remote possibility for any terra based species to possess the ability to morph (or evolve) into a different species – but that’s just because scientific knowledge is too limited right now.  So in the interim, it is safe to say that based on our definition, mankind was able to evolve from apes because of magic.

Now we come to the inevitable question of whether some things will ever be able to be explained by science.  In our physical world, some things simply defy a reality of explanation in such a stark mystery that it seems science will never get to the point of providing answers for inquiring minds.  Examples of such cases include:

01. Black Holes
02. The Bermuda Triangle
03. Rosie O’Donnell
04. Aliens
05. Sasquatches
06. The Loch Ness Monster
07. Michael Moore’s head
08. Ghosts
09. Spontaneous Dental Hydroplosion

For now we must assume that these things are strictly based in the realm of the magical until some scientist somewhere is able to get his article published in a “scholarly” journal – then it’s pretty much scientific law.

    Spontaneous Dental Hyrdoplosion is caused by stiffing the Tooth Fairy (TF), for example, pulling a tooth from a pair of dentures to try and get money from the TF. It is an auxiliary function of the TF wand to cause Hydroplosion and, naturally, because of the TFs occupational inclinations it will be a Dental Hydroplosion that has has the appearance of spontaneity because of the fact it will most likely be executed instantly while you are sleeping and you will awake to find no cause.

    So do blogs count for “scholarly” journals? Is this scientific law now??

    It counts as scholarly if you can find it on Galileo.

    And I’m pretty sure Nessie is scientific – after all, Cryptozoology is a science.

    I pretty much know for a fact that she’s a pseudo scientific fact…which is a form of science…
