Furor

Quote from: SilvercatMoonpawThose are interesting ways to try and name a scientific study of magic, but they sound very loaded with the kind of meaning I would think might confuse people if they were used.

I don't know, i think Dm's are a different breed, i didn't know about Orgone or Seid until i researched for my own magic ideas. I doubt very many people would easily identify the roots of many of the words.

You could go with Anaphysics (against physics), Neophysics (new physics), Noumenal Physiography etc. I like Applied Numenetics though...has a ring to it
What? Huh? naw. It ain't that, are you stupid? man. It's chickens, you know?

Nomadic

Applied about indivisible entities theory? :P

If it is strange and new to your world you could use Applied Pseudo-Physics (APP for short). If it is part of everyday life though it won't be considered strange/false vs "normal" physics.

If that's the case you might use something like scioversitology (scio - to know universitas - the whole). Sure it doesn't work like that (and as ology means the study of it seems a bit redundant). However, I figure you could get away with pseudo-wording fine.
