npub1aum4qlaqrl9jlqahrt57czar9ah84nelfv0w75n28nk0d7x22z8q565jx0 (npub1aum…5jx0) Orson Scott Card said that in science fiction the laws of physics are the same as in our own universe, but in fantasy, they are different because magic works. However, at the quantum level, magical things seem to happen. I would also invoke the Lacanian distinction between the Real, the uncaring physical universe impervious to argument, and what he called the Big Other, the social universe we actually live in, also known as "reality." In the Big Other, rhetoric is powerful magic.
