The Magick of Matter

Crystals, Chaos and the Wizardry of Physics

By: Felix Flicker

Narrated by: Barnaby Edwards

'This is a book about wizardry. It will reveal the secrets of the wizard's art, and how you, too, can learn to follow them. It is a history of magic'

Condensed matter physics is what happens when atoms cluster together to make something of a size we can understand—something like a car, say, rather than a galaxy. It's what makes things hover in mid-air (magnetic levitation) or crystals glow (thermoluminescence). It's also what we mean by magick.

Join Felix Flicker on an empirical adventure in condensed matter physics, the scientific mechanism behind the mysteries of alchemy, transmogrification, and much more. This is the one-stop guide on how to harness the enigmatic workings of the natural world to become a thoroughly modern wizard.

From the laws of thermodynamics to the seven bridges of Konigsberg, The Magick of Matter is a journey of discovery which will upend everything you think you know about witchcraft, wizardry, and condensed matter physics.

It nicely links magick to condensed matter physics

This is a book to expand your horizons. By reading it, will find where magick and physics overlap each other. More than ever you will feel you can understand why any sufficiently advanced technology van mimic magick and viceversa.

The narrator does a truly find job to exalt what is fascinating and can be a bit of a drag to assimilate to understand a higher concept.

I recommend you see this book not as source for answers but as a personal story of the natural processes and the awe inspiring physics behind them.

really appreciate the author's attempt

The story is just too much fluff and less physics then what I was looking for. I wish there was less side stories that detract from the learning and wish there was more interesting things like Time Chrystals.
