I guess maybe this is more of a silly question, but is there any science-y reason why things like magic/super powers/etc. aren't real? People are always like "Magic doesn't exist", but why isn't it real? I'm legit curious.

Because once we identify the causes for actions we call that science.

There's this really great book called the physics of superheroes. It's worth a read and answers your question pretty clearly.

They are real. You just have to believe really hard. And if they don't work, then you really didn't believe.

Magic is real. Otherwise bumblebees wouldn't be able to fly.
It's just the general populous doesn't know for sure to keep a war between magic users and non users from happening.

But we know scientifically why bumblebees fly... and have for quite some time... witches -_- Also Physics... but mostly witches.... |

Plenty of people in many nations still believe in magic. In Indonesia, there are a hell of a lot of people who firmly believe magic is real. I met a couple of guys (friends of my girlfriends dad) who could apparently do magic and visited a market where people were selling strange charms and bits of dead animals and shit for use in spells. I met a Dukun whilst there (their term for a Shaman). He could apparently do black magic according to all my girlfriends family and showed me something where he used a bigass knife to slice some fruit then chanted something whilst rubbing water on his arm and tried to cut himself and the knife just bounced off. No idea if it was some sort of trick or what. It was neat though.
I like to keep an open mind. I'm not going to discount the beliefs of millions of people just because in the west the general consensus is that it's bullshit.

Everything has to get power from somewhere. Magic and superpowers require more power than the human body can generate.

How does one tell the difference between magic and superpowers?
