Traveling to the wizarding world, Thrandy discovered that so-called witchcraft is just formulas and metaphysics - no controlled experiments, no variable control, and no statistical data. The mortality rate among apprentices was 30%, and no one thought there was a problem.
He did one thing: bring over modern scientific research methods.
From the constant-temperature water bath with torn quilts in the dormitory, to the first SCI paper included in the Heart of the Wizarding World; from the forty-seven spiral carvings in the abandoned training ground of the college, to the million tons of waste slag in Nova Colony. He used experimental data and statistical significance along the way to leverage the wizard's empiricism system that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
Then he discovers that—parliamentary hereditary rule, colonial plunder, heavenly expeditions—the rules of this world are far more complex than a single essay.
And his scientific methodology will face the last torture in the ultimate showdown with purely rational intelligent civilization: When logic itself becomes the enemy, is the temperature of human nature the only weapon?
