For that matter, so is DNA computing, quatum computing and qubits, cloning,
etc. etc. Don't play those much anymore, now that there's Starcraft and
Quake II and Unreal ...
Hey, most of Physics except Quantum and General Relativity was invented
2-300 years ago ... ;-) Well, the newest TOE (theory of everything)
involves P-Brane topology (superstrings are old hat). Of course, we still
don't have quantum gravity down.
Studying Physics reads like a long list of physicists names: Killing
vector, Poynting vector, Minkowski space, Lagrangian, Novikov
self-consistency principle, Chandrasekhar limit, Hermitian
self-adjointness, Lorentzian wormholes, Saha equation, Higg's vector boson,
Lie groups, etc. etc.
Physicists in SR should be in for quite a shock ... magic is going to blow
wide open thermodynamics and particularly space-time theories. So you
should feel free to drop the above names as "technobabble" for those
theoretical occultists out there ...
[All of them except the Saha equation (which is the average ionization
fraction of an ionic gas at a given temperature) relate in some form to
General Relativity and/or TOEs which naturally must be revised in the face
of magic.]
