About This Quote
Magic is a part of science that we do not understand yet. In this quote by Jules Verne, he says that magic is a part of science that we do not understand yet. Part of this quote is true because magic is a part of science. Magic happens in the world when science does not understand it yet.

To communicate with “magic”, you have to learn the grammar and vocabulary of that magical system. In this case, magic is a kind of science that we do not understand yet.
