Yes, but it would be a shame if Galadriel's mirror was nothing more than a television, eh? There are magical things in ME that cannot be explained by science, and those that can be are mostly the dark work of Sauron or Saruman (gunpowder, for example). Good magic (ie elven magic) seems to take the form of "art," and there are quotes from Tolkien about exactly what that means to him, but I don't have them at my fingertips...
