Topic: Magic cannot exist. if it "existed" it would instantly become science (Read 1601 times)

Well, i think magic is what science cannot explain in that moment. Eventually science will understand how it happens and turn it into science.
April 29, 2014, 06:02:43 PM
We know very little about the universe. Just seems to be a whole bunch of speculating in my opinion.

magic is kewl. i use art of Deception like David Copperfield
April 29, 2014, 04:37:52 PM
Let me rephrase that: I think magic is meant to be stuff that seems to defy science or physical laws, but it's just illusion and slight of hand. 
But what about that unexplained 'magic'; wouldn't you call things that science can't explain right now magic? April 29, 2014, 02:56:21 PM
Why dont you use google, research it, there is also machines now that let us go camoflouge, This would have been magical back in the stone age all way to the iron age.
+1Magic is the word we give to things we can't understand in the present. Even to the bests scientists of the middle-ages, our current civilization would definitely look like divine magic.

Most of Magic exists because science.
This doesn't even make sense. It wouldn't be Magic then. Haha yeah. I think magic is meant to be stuff that defies science or physical laws, but it's just illusion and slight of hand. Good magic should have you completely baffled by how it was done, and whilst there is always an explanation, I don't think it has to be specifically 'scientific'.
if it can happen, then doesn't that mean it's part of the physical laws? it's more about our understanding of physical laws in relation to what can happen.

I believe magic is like science we do not yet understand
"Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so" - Galileo GalileiAnd I agree, what is still mysteries to us can all be explained using science, we just haven't learned how to do so yet!

I'm going to fall back on my default definition again folks: magic is things that are scientifically impossible, occurring. I don't believe I have ever seen any hard evidence of such a thing occurring. If it did, and someone could figure out and conclusively prove how it was accomplished, then it would become science.
April 29, 2014, 09:47:13 AM
I disagree, while I understand where you are coming from and it is in a way true, the thing is you are taking it from a western view on Magic/Alchemy. Magic has different interpretation and types according to different civilizations/regions/religions/.... and there are some type of magic or sorcery that are really incompatible with science or the way we define something scientific no matter how bizzare it is (Quantum mechanics principals are magical in a way when you compare to them to classical physics but while the principals are bizarre scientifically speaking it is pure science as the principals can be explained by math, experiment after experiment prove that those principal works and there is a continuity with previous studies ...)

Go ahead and show me how you walk on the waters or change water in wine.
I bet it's some kind of illysion or else.
If you're referring to the Bible then... no comments.
Hey, in things like Star Trek there was stuff like the communicator in a shape of a cellphone, and we had it.
So are you expecting me that in the future there is no such thing as walking on the waters?
Something less obvious than this

Black magic really does exists!!!
yes it is i've witness this kind of happening back in my province here in the philippines sorcerer really do used black magic and its a destruction to a person who have wounds all over his body and when a blood came out you will see a tiny broken glass which is also came out from the wounds and after couple of weeks the victim died with a lot of worm on his wounded legs i know its unbelievable but you can always do a research about this
What kind of research? Looks like a simple sepsis to me.

Do not know what to say. I know that miracles are possible, and that people can do much more than they think. We use only about 11 percent of brains, so do not know. But nice topic.
This is just a myth. There is no real evidence to back it up:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_percent_of_brain_myth

I don't think that there is enough evidence to prove this theory. Science is not perfect so there is no real basis to substantiate such a claim IMO.

Says who? Where is the proof? so Mark Karpeles theft of the BTCitcoins was actually theft and not magic?

Yes, but you forfeited your soul to squall.
This doesn't mean you have a soul burdened with debt - it means you don't have a soul.

April 28, 2014, 04:42:57 PM
well sceintist created machines that can let you defy gravity, so thats kinda of like magic
Link to this please? 
Would be quite cool to do just that though!
April 28, 2014, 04:42:41 PM
Well you could also argue that something is only "magic" if it is scientifically impossible. Assuming of course, that you are in the camp of people who don't believe "magic" things have occurred.
April 28, 2014, 04:41:16 PM
you might be missing the point. something is only magic when its functional principles are not understood.

April 28, 2014, 04:38:41 PM
or in other words, magic is just science unexplained.
April 28, 2014, 04:32:04 PM
Are you talking about magic in the traditional sense of the word (ie shooting fireballs and crap) or are you talking about the more recent incarnation of "magic" ie cheap deception of mass audiences using tools, psychology, and outright lies?
April 28, 2014, 04:28:30 PM
Well, you better believe in yourself enough to get to the music festival and you will see just that happen.
And when one sees one fly, one may also fly.

Non existence does not exist. Anything is possible.
I will defy physics soon enough.
The day you prove to me that you can fly (without using any tools), then I'll start believing in what you say! I will defy physics soon enough.
April 28, 2014, 03:45:53 PM
Allow me to add that I already have done such on a small scale.

Are you guys familiar with Clarke's Three Laws?
Clarke's Three Laws are three "laws" of prediction formulated by the British writer Arthur C. Clarke. They are:
1) When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2) The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
I think law no3 is self explanatory. And so true.

all scientific phenomena must be reprodutible in some sense, and must be isolated from others variables to do so. There are many phenomena are not reprodutible and/or can be isolated and studied separately, for exemple:
The history(you cannot rise Napoleon from the grave and do the Waterloo battle again)
Most so called miracles(no one can force God to do things)
Most of so called paranormal phenomena(ex: visions about the future you have at random moments)
The conscience(you cannot think about the conscience without being conscient)
your science cannot confirm or deny if magic really exists or not

If the more "traditional" magic was real, (I mean with weird spells that can do lots of weird spells), it would be possible to explain with magic. If that's what you meant?

Magic is just artful deception: slight of hand and illusion. I love great magic tricks that you have no idea how they were done though.
April 28, 2014, 02:16:30 PM
I could even go ahead and say magic cannot exist while science exists.
