I dunno where I heard this but "Any phenomenon that you cannot comprehend, is indistinguishable from magic." Imagine trying to explain electricity to a society that has both copper and magnets. You would be a legit wizard if you could make a spark.

Clarke's three laws, referring to Arthur C. Clarke. The laws are: - When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. - The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. - Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarke%27s_three_laws
