WILLOW has opened up about how studying physics for four years made her “believe in magic”.During a recent interview with The Creative Independent, the ‘Empathogen’ star – aka Willow Smith – talked about being inspired by the “incredible” Björk, and how “any good artist’s art transcends the art form”.“That’s why it’s so next level because you don’t need to know Björk songs to walk up to the show and be like, ‘Wow.

I’m changed forever’,” she explained.It was then put to Smith that there was “something magical and very spiritual” about her own work, and she was asked whether she believed in magic.“I believe in magic,” she responded. “I studied physics for four years.

It made me believe in magic. It’s wild how some scientists resist the idea that the world is beyond our understanding.“The more I study science, the more I’m in awe of its complexity – it’s pure magic.

Many great scientists feel the same, just like great artists. It all blends together. That’s why mad scientists often look like artists – just look at pictures of Einstein or others like him.”The singer-songwriter went on to agree that “gravity is magical”, adding: “We’re on a planet going thousands of miles per hour around a burning ball of fire.
