One reason I am interested in the nature and history of magic is because I want to stop people from confusing it with science. This is because each has its own cool properties that cannot be replaced by another
@Secret Science is a process of investigation and sometimes it includes the discoveries of that investigation. If magic is studied and understood, it thereby becomes science. The only way to keep magic separate from science is by not understanding magic.
@Secret Maybe that is because the magic is never investigated and understood. We can cause it to happen repeatedly, but no one ever exploits that to actually figure out why it happens.
