Physics and Magic

Do you believe in magic?

Of Course not must have been the answer if we were back on earth that is. I am or was a physicist, a strong believer of science who did not bother on anything except for physics.

I was held in high esteem in the physics community because of my many achievements. And was involved in many projects and experiments among many of those the most important was the military grade "Experiment 209" also known as "Es0" where nuclear fusion was to be contained in high pressure creating an artificial sun.

The project was led by me because of my achievements, from many trials and errors continuous success was achieved and many had set their eyes on the project and our involvement in the project were kept anonymous except for those who were involved and few other people.

"Hey, leader wanna have some drink on the way home the success of the project likely belongs to you, you know."

"No, I have some documents and research to be taken care of, but thanks for the invitation."

"Hardworking as always, eh. Then I will grab another person to go with and don't overwork yourself, hanging out with friends once in a while is not a bad thing you know."

"Ok,ok I got it. Maybe next time."

"Alright, Take care"

"Got it."

On the way home looking at the moonlight with complete silence he muttered "Beautiful as always, huh". Then he noticed 3 people following his trail, startled he began to run, the 3 people began to catch up to him and immediately caught him.

One of the trios said "Troublesome, are ya". The trio took his research documents forcibly and stabbed him behind the back, a cold feeling started going through his spine and chest. His eyes began to become heavier then he saw one of the trio remove his mask.

He was the same one who had offered him the drink on the way home.

In the middle of the night with complete silence and no help he died.

'Is this death' he thought.

In eternal darkness, a small flicker of light began to come into existence and a bright light came and eventually settled and he was being held by a beautiful woman and she said "Ah, he finally opened his eyes."

Along the beautiful woman a good looking man came and said "He just looks like you Marie." "He also looks like you Albert.". They both smiled and the man said "After all he is our son." And he realized that he was a newborn baby.

3 years have gone and he has grown much compared to the first time. Magic as surprising as it is exists in this world, humans and all the other living creatures have something that they call mana.

Usually they are used for doing chores, hunting and fighting. The country seems to have been governed by the King but it is surprisingly stable and common people are treated well.

Measurement of length is done in zet where 1 zet is equal 1 metre.

Measurement of mass is done in cad where 1 cad is equal to 1 kilogram.

Measurement of time is done in nat where 1 nat is equal 1 second.

The units of measurement in smaller values are done in decimals.

The family he was born in is a baron family which governs the eastern land.

He is the youngest of all the children, his brother's name is Alfred Amaryllis and his sister's name is Cecil Amaryllis.

And the name he was given was Evan Amaryllis.

The last name seems to do with something with floral and beauty. No wonder mother, brother and sister all are beautiful compared to others, father and I are also the same.

When he first learned about magic was a year ago when he first saw his brother book during his studies.

"Oh Evan, are you not asleep yet younger children must be sleeping during this time."

Evan shook his head in denial. Shocked Alfred thought that he had such a smart younger brother and with pride he took Evan to his lap and started talking about magic and mana which was in his book.

"Look Evan every living is blessed with mana and it allows a person to perform magic usually casting of the magic is done through spells and while performing magic the caster has to be precisely imagining the state of the spell it is going to be in, like while casting fire magic fire must be imagined as precisely as one could the more precise you are the greater the result will be. "

After hearing Alfred Evan was silent for a while and began tearing up. Alfred noticed Evan and startled "Don't worry you will soon be able to understand when you grow up." He tried his best to calm Evan down but was futile.

"Wahhhh!!!" Evan cried.

After a while Evan calmed down and fell asleep. He had cried not because he couldn't understand Alfred but because of the existence of magic and mana which had broken the laws of physics and had hurt his pride as a physicist.

Now, Evan is 5 years old and is able to use magic, 5 years is when the children are able to cultivate mana. Evan started to study about magic hurting his pride as a physicist but he still wanted to know more about this phenomena.

Seeing their child studying with such dedication made Marie and Albert proud and happy both thinking their child's future is bright.

After learning the basics of magic at such a young age Evan began to wonder if physics still exists in this world of magic and mana.

He decided to do a simple experiment, he took a opaque(object from which light cannot pass through) box and made two very small and thin cut as a slit in a front face then he put a burning lamp inside the box and locked it, the light would come out of the front face from the slit and all that is left was observing the light that came through the slit.

The experiment he had conducted is called Double Slit Experiment which was first done by Thomas Young which concluded that light is a wave because of the interference pattern the light showed which was similar to the water when passed through a double slit.

When the light was carefully observed it made an interference pattern which proved the Double Slit Experiment, Evan with a confused happy face said "Does physics exist in this world".

His sister who was observing him called out for him to play with her. Evan with a innocent smile made a face that could be compared to the angel and straightly declined her.

"No."

Evan being the youngest was accustomed to be continuously loved and cared because of his looks and for being a very intelligent child. A bit of overly love. So he was used to declining every family member and they would be satisfied even when they were declined by him.

After being declined by Evan, Cecil made a satisfied face and left.

Evan sighed.

Evan wondering about physics and magic had realized physics does work and the world that he currently lived in was based on earth.

"Ah, physics does work and the laws of physics does exist but unlike on earth the laws of physics here can be broken through magic. Then the possibilities here are unlimited. I am free to do whatever I want. "

With a big grin on his face he was thinking of doing what he couldn't do on earth, experiments that were restricted because of laws of physics he was thinking of doing those experiments. Unable to stop his happiness. He laughed in an evil way. "Hehehehehehe"

The maid that was searching Evan for dinner, shivered after seeing him laughing in such an evil way.

"E-Evan sama t-the din-dinners ready!"

Hearing the maid's voice he regained his senses. Looked at the maid and smiled.

"Yes, I will be there right now."

The maid thought she was just hallucinating, thinking such a pure child could never laugh in such a way and let the matter slide by. Evan thought to himself that he should never let his desire for physics take him over because he was now a baron's son.
