i've been doing some reading and i want to start a discussion on what people view of how "higher" sciences may in fact touch on what magic is and does. Do you think it is two sides of the same coin? What about the inherent vagueness of magic as an opossite to science's pristine definitiveness? And if they are related on some level what could the root be? Hmm? I am eager to hear some replies.

a lot of older magic could've just been science in disguise. and maybe one day science could explain magic. if it does exist at all.

then again... it depends on what you call magic. would you call telepathy magic? i'm sure someone in middle earth would call telepathy magic. but in these days they would be called a telepathic. or telepathetic my sceptics.

and the sceptics will use science to prove/disprove magic.

guess we'll have to wait till science investigates

I agree with the concept of magis being science in disguise and visaversa. I think what was seen as magic has turned into science with modern advancement, but science is much too egocentric to believe in the concept of magic. shame that.

I think they both exist and without eachother, nothing would exist. There are things scientists cannot explain it just seems as if there were "Miracles" Science isn't just a ridgid thing some people follow to their deaths. Science isn't always lab coats and steril needles. Just the way plants work are described in scientific terms. It goes on and on yet still certain and many things can't be explained. I just think both exist and are equal, balancing eachother in every way. Would it make sense though if we were to be destroying the earth we would be destroying a part of our magic too? I'm not sure really.

Magic is science not yet understood.

A few hundred years ago, being able to talk to someone hundreds of miles away by holding a little piece of plastic up to your head would have been considered magic.

Being able to heat objects without fire or the sun would have been considered magic.

Fire-walking is still considered magical by many people, yet it has several explanations that make it possible.

The boundry between science and magic is the line between where we understand how something works, and where we don't understand it. And for a lot of people.... if we don't understand it, we don't believe it.
