General comment to Valerie Parker about Magic in the real world.

Special note:

There is some guy on the Internet who haunts these forum who goes nuts
every time I post this information. It's obvious that he is the only
person who doesn't 'get it'.

. . . . . . .

In our true real universe are Dark Forces and Dark Matter that
comprise the bulk of this true universe. Our, as common people,
perceived view of the physical universe it very tiny. Scientist
calculate that our common view of physical reality falls far far far
short of the true physical reality.

The bulk of the physical universe is made up of Dark Matter; dark
meaning unseen.

The forces that we as mere muggles perceive is minute compare to the
full force of the universe. The massive bulk of the forces that make
up the universe are Dark Forces; again 'dark' meaning unseen.

So we have an genuine unseen physical world beyond our general ability
to observe or comprehend. There is 'another' physical reality out there.

And, we have a genuine unseen force beyond our general ability to
observe or comprehend, There is 'another' force in reality out there.

So we have a massive unseen physical reality which could account for
places like Diagon Alley which is certainly a physical reality beyond
our normal perceive physical reality.

And, we have magical forces that are force beyond our normal
comprehension of forces and infinitely more powerful that our
comprehension of normal forces.

Who is to say that this Dark/Unseen world that dwarfs our perceived
world, is not the magic world.

There exists a magic physical reality beyond our normal reality. There
exists a genuine massively large Dark/Unseen pysical reality beyond
out normal reality. Is it that hard to see a connection?

There is a magic force beyond our normal reality. There is a genuine
infinitely powerful Dark/Unseen force beyond our normal reality.
Again, am I the only one who can see a possible connection?

Below is a copy of my brief article on this. Please resist any
psychotic attempt to tell me my comprehension of science sucks, even
if it does. We are dealing with applying possible physical reality to
the FICTIONAL world of MAGIC. I think we can skip any psychotic
science lectures. Although, all non-psychotic discussions are welcome.

My apologies if I have posted this before.

Recently in an unrelated discussion, the point was made that even the
wildest fantasy fiction has to have some roots in reality to be
believable. 

So like all good fiction writes (well OK, maybe not that good) I'm
trying to find genuine reality that could justify the fictional
reality I create. A recent magazine article proved TO ME that Magic
Space and Magic Forces do exist. Remember, what follows is about
fiction, not about technical science.

Can there be Magic?

-Can there be Magic space like Diagon Alley?
-Can there be Magic itself; magic forces or energy?

Recently while traveling to Los Angeles, I bought a 'Discovery'
magazine that unlocked the answers to the above questions, and the
answer to all of them is YES. (In my opinion.)

The Physical World-
Did you know that, according to science's best calculations, that the
physical world as we know it, every spark of energy, every atom, every
rock, tree, grain of sand, every galaxy, every star, planet, and speck
of space dust, only represents about 4% of the universe. I'm not
saying OUR star or OUR planet, I'm saying that the accumulation of
everything that we perceive as the physical universe is only about 4%
of the true universe.

96% of all that exists is in a dimension or form that is beyond our
ability to full detect or comprehend. The rest of the unseen universe
is made up of 'dark matter' and 'dark energy'. In a way, it is a shame
they named it 'dark' matter. That makes it sound like they are saying
evil matter, but in this case 'dark' simply means unseen. 

Dark Matter/Dark Energy-
By matter, we mean anything with substance, anything we perceive to be
solid, tangible, and real. So, if there can be a real tangible world
of matter and substance that is unseen by us mere muggles, that would
seem to be the magic world; the world of unseen/dark matter. A world
of a magnitude beyond the greatest muggles comprehension. That would
seem to explain the existence of Diagon Alley. 

If we combine all the ordinary matter and all the unseen/dark matter,
we can still only account for 1/3 of the universe. That leaves the
remaining 2/3's as unseen/dark energy. If our perception of the
spectrum and intensity of muggle energy is as great as it is, imagine
how powerful the energy that makes up the other 2/3's of the universe
must be. It must be an energy and force capable of things beyond the
mere muggle's wildest dreams. 

There is also a residual 'static' of unseen/dark energy and matter.
Periodically, for micro units of time, bits and pieces of the unseen
world pop into our world, and these crossovers are detectable as this
unseen/dark static. (Notice that I did NOT say Quantum noise.) So if
the boundary between the seen and unseen, the muggle and magic world,
is being crossed by this random static, then surely any one who has a
command of the unseen/dark forces that make up 96% of the universe,
can cross that boundary at will.

So there you have it, the existence of matter, of material substance,
capable of comprising the physical magic world, and the existence of
forces capable of doing things that are beyond a muggle's ability to
even imagine, capable of doing magical things.

We mere mortals, we mere muggles are so arrogant as to believe that
our reality is the total reality. That we are the center of the
universe and all things are defined by our existence. Well, my mere
mortals, my mere muggles, our reality is no more than a footnote, in
the true reality of the universe.

This is not an essay on science; it's a an exercise in trying to
reconcile fictional reality with non-fictional reality. Spare me the
lecture on the accuracy of the science as I've presented it here.

Please, try to keep this in perspective. We are talking about FICTION
here.
