Roger Highfield Quote
However, as I hope to persuade you, there are some interesting connections between science and magic. They share a belief, as one mathematician put it, that what is visible is merely a superficial reality, not the underlying real reality. They both have origins in a basic urge to make sense of a hostile world so that we may predict or manipulate it to our own ends.
