Hello,
Today, I was further exploring my ideas on how my transformations work, and I came to an interesting realization.
When people talk about magic, it’s often seen as the art of manipulating energy to alter reality. This got me thinking about the Big Bang and E=MC².
It is hypothesized that the Big Bang was an event that released hot, condensed pure energy, which then exploded into the fundamental building blocks that formed matter. Now, my question is: when people say magic uses energy, what if that energy is simply pure energy? And what if the reason people can’t use magic is due to two factors: self belief and the realistic ability to activate and shape energy into the desired form?
I’d love some feedback. I believe this idea, if it works for others, could have huge implications. Like regrowing body parts, changing physical forms, powering entire cities, and much more.
Much like science, it requires a tool to be used. Such as particle accelerators. In the case of magic, these tools are often your body or a wand.
My textbooks didn’t cover this topic
Most definitely!
I’m fine to go sci-fi on this:
The reason human’s can’t “use” energy is because they’re energy themselves.
Energy can’t be created nor destroyed.
You’re correct that humans are energy, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use energy ourselves. If we couldn’t use energy, nothing in our bodies would work, from our brains to our breathing. As for the concept of matter, you’re right that it can’t be created or destroyed, only transformed. But the question is, where does energy come from in the first place? Wasn’t pure energy the original state that then transformed into matter in the Big Bang?
If we couldn’t use energy, nothing in our bodies would work, from our brains to our breathing.
That’s my point: we aren’t “using” energy. We are energy.
There is no you, nor I. It’s one differential equation. We can’t “use” magic, as we can’t change the equation.
So are you going more the route if it’s meant to happen then it’ll happen? Like we don’t use energy because we are the energy working itself? Such as if someone were to use “magic” and manipulate the matter then it’s not us but the energy manipulating itself?
Exactly.
I’ve always wondered. You know how light travels the fastest path possible. That’s why it refrects when changing from air to water.
As we do textbook physics, we open our table, look up the respective refractive indices, use trigonometry, and can with reasonable accuracy predict where the beam ends up.
How does the electron in the beam know the fastest path, as it’s moving through the different matters? It needs knowledge of matter it hasn’t encountered yet.
That is a really interesting way of seeing it! Then that’d make sense that everything happening to me. Was already meant and known to happen.
