M-e objects - explained my science - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The topic of the thread is quite simple.
Are you aware of any "magical" object in M-e that could be explained with the help of our current scientifical knowledge?
Is there any way one could explain how the Elessar or the Palantiri worked?

Yes, of course I am aware that it is difficult to find explanations for such "magical" devices from a fantasy work, but still... it is worth a try in my opinion.

I also believe there is a book on this very topic by Henry Gee I think, so it seems this stuff has been done before.
I am thinking of buying it but maybe if anyone of you already owns it I would also like to know what is your opinion about it.
