Or at least the closest thing to magic. Discuss. |

more like the opposite i would say.. |
||||||||

no, science is a way to explain magic. a wheel spinning isn't physics, you use physics to explain it spinning. or something. |

Could we consider music to be magic? |

Scientists wear white lab coats. Magicians wear tuxedos and capes. Any questions? |

david copperfield once claimed he made the statue of liberty disappear. thats bollocks, its still there. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Duh, he put it back. |

Magic is what we don't understand. Since different brains (people) have differing amounts of understanding of different things, magic is subjective. Or something. Who cares. |

There is a very long running debate on this between two well known Philosophers - Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn. If you are interested in the question of whether magic is just unknown science, read anything by Popper or "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Kuhn.. They dont get into David Copperfield and rabbits and stuff too much though, which I always thought was a pity... |

the supernatural is closer to science in my opinion... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Closer than what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blah, I totally fooled that up... I meant to say the supernatural is closer to magic... meaning that science is based on facts, the supernatural is based on faith and belief... |

Define your terms. Science - Method of Inquiry (Not a Body of Knowledge) Magic (Magick) - ??? |

jesus was a great majician. loaves fishes etc. wouldnt really impress anyone nowadays would it? |
||||||||
|
|

|

science is like, from the future and the magic is from the past. magic and science don't work together... that's why we have plan B! |
||||||||
|

Nonsense - not even David Copperfield has tried to feed 5,000.. Jesus was badass - yeah! |

hehe, everyone should read 'the science of discworld', an additional thingy to the books of terry prachett by him and some physics.. lots of our science and an explanation why science is magic |
||||||||

thor was badass. theres a god who fights for what he believes in. |

magic is a delusion. science is our mother. life is not an illusion. death and we are smothered. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
science is magic in itself. life is hope and fear... legend is a myth and a dream upon which we feed ourselves until death.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
these things are not meant to be explained,..... for, we are the reason |

I'm more of a Loki fan myself actually. |

science = magic ? i don't know but that sounds like a sad idea to me!! =( sad for magic. |
||||||||

Science is the closest thing we have to the mythological magic. Magic = creating fireballs and summoning dragons. Science = Flame throwers and using DNA to ressurect dinosaurs. |

Arthur C Clarke once came up with the truism that "Any suffiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"... Sums it's up real well, I think.... |
||||||||
|

Arthur C Clarke is a hero |

its the difference between natural phenamena and supernatural phenomena . Science proves that magic is Relativity anyways.... Our parallel world (enuith) uses a forcefeild of magic to ward off those using Black Electricity. Sources say Neanderthals had the highest level of magic... However, Walt Disney advocated white magic. |
||||||||

|
|
you're correct on every level!! |

i'm a scientist i don't wear a lab coat unless the health and safety people are touring our lab. i can purify, replicate, amplify, clone, translate, visualize, sequence, genotype, and mutate DNA. its all actually pretty easy. it just seems like magic to those who don't understand it. so i think science doesn't equal magic. misunderstood science just seems like magic. |

More scientists should wear tuxedos and have beautiful assistants. |

I'm gonna get that tattooed on my leg. |

magick = the aim of religion, and the method of science. megatherion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
magick is an aspect of reality. materialism is the denail of this aspect of reality. science if concern to both. |
||||||||
|

"...denial of this aspect of reality. science is of concern..." |
