No, no magic, just that the science is suggesting really weird things we are not used to thinking about. The good thing about science is that it takes all the "magic" superstition out of something when finally explained.
I don't like "creepy" or "spooky" but more like "pleasantly freaky".
I think we will expand our knowledge to a really great degree before we go extinct as a species. But even in saying that, I think because of the way the macro world and QM world relate, we are going to be limited more physically. Scientists do often say "never say never" when it comes to possibilities, but they also say "highly unlikely from our perspective at this current point based on our best data so far".
It was just like when all the si fi fans masturbated over the NASA article a couple years ago when it said that the "WARP DRIVE" was mathematically "plausible" on paper, but in reality totally impractical because of the amount of energy it would require to produce.
If we are to pull our heads out of our asses as a species, I find it quite possible to eventually contact other life in the universe if only verbal. But for right now, the things like wormholes and teleporting are for me a very huge longshot if not impossible.
QM regardless is really fun to think about. If anything it really shows you both the really grand scope in a much more eloquent way than old books of myth.
