Well obviously nobody would use the term "magic" but it's what you
mean. When you want to "explain" something when logic and reason has
failed you.

The fact that you do not understand that a wave, or a disturbance, or
a massless particle, or a propagating energy field cannot exist in a
void shows what is the major problem in physics today and that is
mathematicians who do not understand nature.

This is correct except for the term "massless particle". A "wave" is a
disturbance. And that "disturbance" is a propagating energy field.
Hence it logically follows that a "wave" is a PROPERTY of something
else: the thing doing the "waving". So how can behavior be separated
from the thing that the behavior is describing and have one assert
that the behavior alone is an actual real object. This is patent
nonsense.

Obviously a particle can travel through the void without a
problem, but to say a wave can is pure bunk.

Why is that obvious? It seems obvious that shot
should roll out the mouth of Elmer Fudds blunderbuss
and land on his foot.

Hence one can only
conclude that "empty space" is filled with "something" and is not a
"void"!

On the other hand since a particle obviously can travel through "void"
it seems logical that a massless particle might also do so. To make a
determination if this is possible one would necessarily have to
understand exactly what it was that gave rise to "mass" and then make
a determination if "mass" was capable of travel through the void. I
know of no such determination to date.
