god i love those big old tube AC converters
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
The middle bottom is the demon core, and I guess the bottom right is a reactor of some kind
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.
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.

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

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

And anyway, there’s a new physics demon now:
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.
where spherical metal cow?
Roll 2d10 to synthesize technetium.
Also light is not sentient, i knows when it is being measured and does different things, but its not sentient DO NOT WORRY!!!1!1!!!1!
Ahh, it’s no big deal. I know it sounds magical, but there’s probably some humdrum explanation…you’re probably just popping in and out of different universe in the multiverse whenever you observe a particle, or something mundane like that.
(things often behave differently when you blast them with high powered lasers)
And the high powered laser itself is behaving strangely.

If we setup to disprove that light is particles, no luck, it’s a particle. If we setup to disprove that light is a wave, no luck, it’s a wave.
I understand there’s some reasonable quantum explanations, but many of those have some very weird implications. Last time I tried to wrap my head around it, we were still working on disproving whichever of the quantum theories we can disprove. That’ll be nice because it’ll likely rule out a lot of silly theories, while leaving an equally silly but probably true, theory standing.
