Magic

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

The word magic originated in Greek as a reference to the priestly class. This was especially a reference to Zorastrianism. Zorastrianism originated with the prophet Zarathustra. "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is a book by Friedrich Nietzsche. "Also Sprach Zarathustra" was written by Richard Strauss and later used in Stanley Kubrick's movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". One of the co-author's for that screenplay was Arthur C. Clarke who once said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

So... magic.
