Nearly all phenomena in Equestria are explained by "Magic" but what explains magic? This backstory follows the rise and fall of SCIENCE in Equestria and the stories it developed along the way.

Magic is used to describe events; The party was magical, or, I do not understand that, ergo, magic.

My goal in this backstory is to develop a scientific system for discovering the workings of magic. I will pull examples from the show and use them to attempt to prove my theorems from a first-person perspective. There will be failures, successes, explosions and more SCIENCE all along the way.
