Part 9-Okay, What is Magic Anyway?

...Actually, before I tell you how magic works, I have to first tell you about the layers of reality.

Part 9 (for real this time):The Three Layers of Reality

Most of you viewers imagine that reality only has one layer, and has four funadmental things:Energy, Matter, Space, and Time.

...Nothing could be further from the truth.

There are in fact three layers to reality, and none of those four things are fundamental. In fact, matter is a kind of energy, and space and time are not all that different from each other.

The surface layer of reality is the one we observe. The physical reality. Where all we can see is matter, and the kinds of energy that interact with matter.

This is the layer where momentum exists as a separate form of energy, and where all particles of matter fall within.

Going down a layer, we find out that matter is simply a kind of energy. We find that time and space are interconnected, and form a 4-dimensional spacetime. Causality itself happens at the same speed as light (and darkness!).

Particles, and in fact all forms of energy, don't have fully defined speed and position-There's a fundamental uncertainty. So only a limited amount of information about a particle can exist at a time. Measure a particle's speed, and its position is now more uncertain-And the same is true the other way around. And there are many other pairs that work this way..

Likewise, before a particle is observed at all, it is in superposition.. We know this because different parts of the superposition have interacted with each other.

Superpositions act as a wave.. But they can collapse into a particle. This is most notable with light itself. We believe that as pure being of light, we were intertwined to this layer of reality, the quantum realm. We also believe the world of Kingdom Hearts is still within the quantum realm, which is another reason why we cannot simply enter it.

And if two bits of information are entangled, measuring one of them will collapse the other's superposition as well.

The speed of this effect? Instantaneous. Which is an exception to the "cosmic speed limit" that we had established.

This tells us something. And it lets us take a peek at the layer at the very bottom...

Space and time don't seem to be the fundamental nature of reality. Information is. Everything else derives from it. And seemingly, the laws of physics themselves, considering that they're not as absolute as they appear to be.

Part 10-Okay, Seriously, What is Magic?

Magic is what happens when you tinker with that very bottom layer. Since everything is made of information.. If you tamper with the information beneath us all, that makes everything up.. You're tampering with reality itself.

Summoning fire? That's as simple as adding the information that represents fire in the place corresponding to where you want to summon it.

The layer of information used to simply be one layer below us, and considering how we simply WERE energy, it was a lot easier for us to know about than it is now.

And it was far easier to interact with this information. Especially since that's how we created new worlds to expand the Light.

But after we devolved into matter-based life, we lost that connection. We lost the ability to do magic on our own.

Many worlds lack magic altogether for this reason.
