Why Is the One Percent So Obsessed with Magic?

In my experience the majority of people seem to be drawn to magic, mystery and mysticism and the so called "One Percent" is no exception. Most people are just not curious in my experience, and it's quite alien to me that most people apparently enjoy questions more than answers. Just see the average popular science magazine for an example: Tons of mumbo jumbo about God particles or World Formulae, not many real explanations. That's just what the majority of people enjoys.
