Annie believes that magic is magic, and cannot be explained because it is magic.

Zimmy is saying that "magic" is something that cannot be explained...but it isn't actually magic. It's just something that cannot be explained by its very nature, and no amount of studying it will give an explanation. The difference between this and what Annie believes is a very fine line, but I think I get what she's talking about. Magic would be supernatural. The ether is entirely natural, but cannot be explained by science.

I think.
How are we sure that quantum mecanics has an explanation?
