Scientifically speaking, could magic exist?
okay i know this sounds like a really dumb question but what i mean is this: people study and experiment to find out how the universe works and it gives us pretty good theories to how the universe was created, the laws of physics, etc, but even those answers are not 100% soldified, they only reflect what we have so far observed.
bearing in mind that we as a society have repeatedly had very incorrect guesses at science simply because we lacked the knowledge/resources at the time: is it possible that something like magic could exist and we just don't know yet? is it possible that there is some sort of psychic plane of existence (maybe 4th dimension?) that we can influence the same way we might walk around a room?
i remember reading someone's theory that emotions have some sort of semi-physical dimension allowing them to linger in specific locations as a way to explain ghosts. i just think this line of thinking is very interesting and i wonder if it's actually taken seriously in the scientific world.
just wondering if anyone knows of any studies about this or similar.

Curious what people think. I personally think watermelon would be a fun choice, but I have a feeling most people will say apple. That's kind of boring though.
