Again, it depends on your perspective of what magic is. Many define it as something unknown and esoteric, while others see it as ritualistic. Pretty much anything can be tied back to some form of magic at one point in time. Historically speaking modern science evolved from the exploration of the unknown. Look at Chemistry and Alchemy, Biology and Blood sacrifice, Astrology and Astronomy. The world as we know is has been molded through exploration and discovery.


My thoughts on the matter is there that:
'There are two forms of knowledge in this universe. Things we know, and things we have let to learn.

No, it doesn't depend, magic is something that defies the physical laws that humans are known to be limited by. If something operates within those physical laws it isn't magic, it's science. Magic is what alters/defies reality so that these laws don't matter.

We all know what magic is, people just like to play bullshit semantic word games for whatever reason.

It's really simple:
How a plane or a helicopter flies - Science.

If a man just flies by propelling his body through some ritual or just through thought alone - Magic.

Lighting a fire using friction and/or and acelerant/igniter - Science.

Lighting a fire using some 'energy' through the power of thought alone - Magic.

There's no need to play semantic word games and try to say 'science is magic bro'.

Magic either exists or it doesn't, but let's not be disingenuous and try to redefine magic to fit our modern day reality.

Science doesn't exist.

Science is literally just fucking understanding. Making fire is the simplest form of technology.
