The Importance of Physics in Magic
I think everyone here will enjoy this ramble. It happened quite by accident when one of my friends saw me reading my latest issue of the 'Enhancing Your Mind Body and Spirit' magazine. She made the mistake of saying "You don't really believe in that stuff, do you?" and what I've written below is pretty much verbatum what I said. Off the cuff as it were.

Everything in the world that you know for certain exists is made of atoms, correct? *She nods.*

Every atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons, correct? *She nods.*

Scientists are discovering that these tiny particles are in turn made up of even smaller ones called quarks etc. Correct? *She nods.*

From all evidence, these quarks etc are made of energy, correct? *She nods.*

According to science, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This is carried over to help astronauts learn how to manuver in space. Correct? *She nods.*

Every particle in the Universe once was a part of some huge ball of matter and energy that eventually became the Big Bang. Correct? *She nods.*

Therefore, all energy in the Universe was at one time connected. Correct? *She nods.*

Knowing the habbits of such energy as heat energy and electrical energy, it is proven that energy likes to be connected to other energy. Correct? *She nods.*

So all energy in the Universe is, in some way , probably connected. Correct? *She nods.*

Therefore, as we are both made of atoms, and therefore energy, we are a part of a Universe that you agree likes all it's energy to be connected. Correct? *She nods.*

Now factor in the fact that astronauts can use the knowledge that 'every action has a reaction' to help them learn how to manuver. If everything in the Universe is connected energy, and we are energy, and our thoughts which are electrical in nature, then it is entirely concievable that our thoughts could be an action that rearranges energy subtly throughout the Universe. Correct? *She nods, hesitantly.*

Now if astronauts can learn to be graceful in Space is it not possible that we can learn to control our own thoughts to the point of gracefulness where we have reasonable control over the rearrangement of the energy previously mentioned? After all, our thoughts are our own. Correct? *She nods.*

So having your agreement with everything else, can you see that it is entirely possible that my thoughts could be trained to affect the physical world? ....

.... I think I just converted her! I hope everyone could follow that! I laughed so hard when she left, bless her!
