Good afternoon,
I was reading the Bible and it looks like either there isn't a great deal on the scientific end or I can't find it. Either way, I thought that a discussion about the state of science in Metamor might be interesting and useful.
Astronomy - The charting of celestial objects is used for space mining as well as a preventative measure to keep the planet from being impacted by asteroids. The two branches work together to keep the status quo as well as advnce the economy.
Biology - Genetic engineering is used in cases where magic is impractical or impossible. Biology is slowed somewhat in regards to advancement because there is more material to cover when taking into account the additional creatures that biology in the real world doesn't really have to worry about outside of the discipline of cryptozoology.
Chemistry - Magic is used to alter the molecular makeup of materials to form more ideal structures. As the mana used to alter materials is very high it is only used for specific purposes, such as deep sea or space vessels.
Physics- Mind expanding magics are used to elaborate much more fully on the underlying mathematic equations in that make up the discipline. Out of unspoken theological concerns on the part of scientists(where I read it in the Writer’s Bible I can’t find at the moment) the area of dimensional science has been neglected.
The overall idea is that magic is used to help science and vice versa.
So, am I on the right track in regards to where the science would be? I can go forward or back in regards to the level of technology once I get some feedback on it.
