Magic and Mysticism vs Sci Fi (Which do u prefer ?)

Or "sentient nanotechnology." Or "unstable particles." Or "chronal ripples." I mean, they're words we understand and have some relation to, unlike, say, the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth, but it's not like they're really all that much more scientific than the Wand of Watoomb.

I like them all as long as they don't have an enormous cheese factor.
For Example 300 is a great movie, while The Stuff was cheese.
