The laws of thermodynamics also do not explain stuff like polymorphing, or telepathy, or even how mages fly.

Keroko's point was that while there are scientific explanations that can be applied to Nanohaverse magic, there will still be some stuff that can't and won't be explained 100% by science (not without going into pseudoscientifics anyway, which any sci-fi buff can pull out of his rear). There is a point where you have to draw the line about turning magic into science, thus voiding the entire premise behind a series with the name "Magical" on it.

(I am talking about the issue from a literary perspective mind you, not from a scientific perspective).
