“One man’s magic is another man’s engineering” — Robert A. Heinlein
It's been a while since the OP posted anything.I'm guessing he realises that most of don't accept magic- because it isn't real.
Isn't "Magic" just Science that we haven't yet developed?

No.Well, you say that as a chemist. But can't physicists and engineers invent more things than chemists can?Are you actually dumb enough to think that matters?Given time, I could explain my smart phone to Newton, just like I can explain it to a kid.This "science is the same as magic" idea should be put to bed once and for all.The difference is that we know how science works.More importantly, we know that magic does not work. It doesn't matter if you say Abracadabra or wave a silver wand. It doesn't work.That's the distinction.
You reckon Isaac Newton would've understood what you were doing?
Looking in magic as undiscovered science is a waste of time magic is not just a unique phenomenon that we are going to discover to be added to mainstream physics but is a whole of violations.It is like we are going to figure out the non-science or magic will that be useful ? every kid knows what is non-science , what is the not of water is liquid.Simply magic can be defined as the non-science with no rules.

If science describes reality then magic describes non-reality.

The interesting question is why does anyone accept religion?
