TIred of people telling me,don't use the word "magic",because it conveys the wrong meaning,like you are a stage illusionist or something.
If "gay" can mean stupid and "sick" can mean amazing in less than one generation,why should I not ask that magic should mean what it truly is?

With that out of the way, let me explain...
There are two parallel and equal systems that run this universe.
Logic
And
Magic.
Yup, they rhyme in English. The universe is in fact poetic...because poetry is magical.

I don't have to tell y'all what Logic is, just ask my brother @sundarpichai who runs a company built on it.
But I really have to explain what magic is. This is the whole point.
That which is not Logic, is Magic.
Let me repeat once more.
That which is not Logic,is Magic.

The pinnacle of Logic is the general theory of relativity.
The basis of Magic is quantum mechanics.
Both were postulated by Albert Einstein, who said that the two will never be reconciled.
That is because they are parallel systems.
They only meet at Infinity.

In the default world,there is a human preference for Logic,for one simple reason.
You need only Logic for the chicken to cross the road safely.
Though you need Magic to explain why the chicken crossed the road.
Safety is the only requirement for survival,not the need to know why.

The hallmark of logic is speed and efficiency.
The more efficient solution wins.
The faster animal over any given distance gets the prey.
Hence humans became the true apex predator even with rudimentary tools,because we are the fastest land mammal if distance is not a constraint

The motto of Magic is "what's the rush".
In magical propositions,the intention of patience prevails.
Speed is a handicap,and impatience leads to disaster.
An important way to differentiate what is logical and what is magical is to ask,"will speed improve it or make it worse".
