Magic cannot exist. if it "existed" it would instantly become science

[furiousjack]

I could even go ahead and say magic cannot exist while science exists.

are you guys following?

Science, bitch! Science! Magic is mainly illusions but science is real. You know?

[hilariousandco]

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.

[blacksails]

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?

[Malin Keshar]

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

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.

Non existence does not exist.  Anything is possible.

I will defy physics soon enough.

[dank]

Allow me to add that I already have done such on a small scale.

The day you prove to me that you can fly (without using any tools), then I'll start believing in what you say!

[dank]

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.

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?

or in other words, magic is just science unexplained.

[sana8410]

well sceintist created machines that can let you defy gravity, so thats kinda of like magic

[beetcoin]

you might be missing the point. something is only magic when its functional principles are not understood.

[dogechode]

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.

Link to this please?
Would be quite cool to do just that though!

[sana8410]

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.

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.
