Okay imma need an explanation for the middle bottom and bottom right panels, what are they?

Also love the idea that magic is just science we haven’t explained yet. Most of us would be burned s as witches in the past based on our current knowledge

Solely based on knowledge, yes. In practice most of us wouldn’t be able to create a half working lamp from raw materials.

This is also why at see inventions emerge almost at the same moment from people who don’t share knowledge.

A lot of invention is material science.

Even if I know enough to make a modern computer from raw materials, I’m not going to find the necessary industry to refine those raw materials correctly in the 1400s.

Middle bottom is the demon core, an extremely radioactive orb:

And anyway, there’s a new physics demon now:

3.5" in diameter, and 14 pounds. That seems very odd.

Uranium is very dense.

But iridium is twice the density of lead!

The middle bottom is the demon core, and I guess the bottom right is a reactor of some kind

The Cherenkov radiation gives it away that it’s a reactor of some sort.

I haven’t seen this before, unless it’s a nuetron breeder.

The bottom right one looks like a mercury arc valve: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-arc_valve It reminded me of an old Phoyonicinduction video https://youtu.be/QY6V2syGnZA

I have a habit of calling things ‘technological magic’ because that’s what it is in my mind. The fact that the universal laws and logic exist in such a way to allow things like computers or the huge complexity of living things and AI matrixies is nothing short of miraculous when you think about it.

In terms of the bottom middle: that’s the demon core. Science Thor (a.k.a. Kyle Hill) does awesome videos on nuclear and radioactive stuffs which can explain it better than I could.

Cherenkov radiation. Look it up on youtube for a video of a experimental reactor making some.

Mercury arc valve, an old method of converting AC electricity to DC.
