2904: "Physics vs. Magic"

[ratammer]

Title text: 'At the stroke of midnight, your brother will be hurtling sideways at an altitude of 150 meters' is a regular physics prediction about your nonmagical trebuchet, whereas 'you are cursed to build a brother-launching trebuchet' falls out of the Lagrangian.

All physics is magic if you don't understand it.

Any sufficiently advanced magic is, ultimately, indistinguishable from technology

I seem to recall a role playing game called "Science the Gathering" being quite popular back in the day. Does anyone else remember it?

Yeah I used to collect cards. Never did get to own a Black Hole Lotus.
