Not all videos... You can ignore his head-canon stories. But Dragonic's theory is mainly focused on the science. Specially, he explained the constituting elements of redstone, netherrack, endstone, netherite and their chemicals properties. Also, based on the minecraft science, he theorized ender pearl, eyes of ender etc. I also liked how he explained enderman's strange behavior (hating water and eye contact), pocket dimension (transition while teleporting) based on the endermite. I liked that he contributed some new unique ideas with solid evidences.
What about them
What is his explanation for inherently magical objectd
I think it'd be hard to consider stuff like redstone "magical"
since its got very industrial components
although that raises the question of how far do we stretch the term
we don't have any real-word counterparts to compare magic to because (as far as we know) magic isn't a thing and/or we've not discovered it yet
however due to the nature of the fact that's it ore by using occam's razor that allows us to most simply assume that redstone is a natural type of rock
and the chemical properties it holds allows for some type of conduction
So what comes in mind is that it's a sand-like material with properties similar to coppef
Which raises its own question of how it doesn't conduct heat
Minecraft is weird
although redstone conducting electricity doesn't make sense because it doesn't react with copper and lightning in any way
so it ends up just being a confusing mess
unless of course
redstone has its own properties
perhaps in the reaction of a redstone-powered heat it allows for conductivity?
which then explains redstone torches
and then we can assume that buttons, levers, and other activators generate such a small ammount of kinetic heat upon being activated that it still causes a reaction
however we're still yet to explain the science of how a reaction from redstone powers anything
although we may be able to explain this with electron transfering
perhaps in a similar way to graphite it has delocalised electrons
and these delocalised electrons are passed between redstone atoms across the line like a conveyer belt
and there's another element inside of the powerable objects that reacts to the additional electron gained
and this reaction produces harnesable energy
boom
redstone solved with science
