Re: the non physical
Hi and welcome,

Luck, fortune, love, beauty, perfectly straight lines, ... are physical?

Whatever we think eventually is derived from the physical.
From wiki:
quote:
There are at least two senses people usually mean when they use the term, the prescriptive sense and the descriptive sense. In the prescriptive sense, luck is the supernatural and deterministic concept that there is a force which prescribes that certain events occur very much the way the laws of physics will prescribe that certain events occur. It is the prescriptive sense that people mean when they state that they "do not believe in luck."
The prescriptive version of 'luck' does not describe anything physical.

If I were you
And I wish that I were you
All the things I'd do
To make myself turn blue
