I'm having trouble understanding what you are claiming. It seems that once anything is found to exist in the actual world, people won't call it "magical" or "anomalous". When Hermione Granger uses an invisibility cloak, it's magic. When researchers at the University of Dallas use an invisibility cloak, it's science.
What I meant was that there may be more to such things as auras, ghosts, precognition, free will, etc. than current skepticism allows for, while still not having anything in the universe other than matter/energy.
Taboo "matter/energy".
Well damn. What is left? "You know... like... the stuff that there is."
Thank you. I was about to ask the same thing.
My point is that what counts as matter/energy may very well not be obvious in different theories.
Algebra.
Causes and effects.
Good point. But this 'cause' word is still a little nebulous and seems to confuse some people. Taboo 'cause'!
