    I think the rules where different there. It was all about science, but the science was magical. It didn't care about whether something could be done. It was about whether it should be done, and the answer was always, always yes.

    Magic is real, in the sense that sometimes the world does things that can't be explained using science as we currently understand it. Magic isn't real, because once something becomes explainable, we start thinking of it as "science," and we no longer pretend it doesn't exist.
