Tat's the neat part about it. Scientists dont understand it either.

How computers work is also some form of witchcraft. Even tho I understand the principles behind it, it still is literally magic that we get computers to execute stuff.

Ah well except it's really rocks being excited enough to do math.

Computers run on magical smoke.
Proof: When the smoke comes out, the computer doesn't work anymore.
