The essence of the scientific method is that it is based on being able to repeat results. If you get the same results every time you do the same operation, and when anyone else who repeats it get the same result, you can safely conclude that you have a scientific explanation. But quantum mechanics says no, you have to assume everything happens with a probability but not with a 100% certainty. It's always statistical only. The two views are not compatible. Now that gives us a problem, because QM breaks science. Yet physicists tell us that QM is real. Basically they are implying we cannot trust science anymore. I realized this tonight when I realized that quantum connectivity might mean that sympathetic magic might have a real basis, but would be very hard to prove as it would be probabilistic in operation. Holy smoke. Might we want to rethink parts of old-time magic after all? Something to ponder.

This uncertainty factor is feared and revered by the Occult as the unpredictable 'Fool' that levels in an instant. The zero card of the tarot. aka The Joker, The Wild Card et al. This is why The Joker is such a predominant meme in Batman for example. The dark side of the Dark Lord. Uncontrollable.
As such, it exists as a hidden potential in every Calculation that projects.
In a couple of conversations about the nature of cognition, with a head of the team that formulated the so-called 'String Theory', I presented a model. I used the example of 'The Monocord', an ancient tool used by Pythagorus to teach the concept of Harmony to students. Placing the plucked String as 'that which is sensed"....the eardrum as 'That which senses'.....and the invisible force that 'brings them together in agreement'. I dubbed this as 'Magic' rather than its more proper term 'spirit/force'....to allow it to be 'seen'. So cognition can be seen as three-in-one, String, Drum or Magic....depending on your perspective. This was taken and used, changing the name of String Theory to 'String/Drum/Magic' theory "depending on your perspective", stealing the idea that I'd dummied down for acceptance.
M as Spirit makes the 'equation' work.....'magic' does not. In fact, it became a time baum of truth that sabotaged the String Theorist magicians' tricky attempts to create a world where simultaneously occurring realities exist in real time.
Such is only the case only on a dimensional level. (micro/macro)
Magic keeps information invisible from the audience. Magick does the same Spirit informs, fulfills, creates, sustains and frees the soul from addiction to the dualistic attraction/repulsion that encodes magic and is symbolized by the black/white checkered floor. For the devil goes 'to and fro' upon the earth and the profane require signs. Magic to the rescue.
