Silly. "Any sufficiently advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic."
Note: Technology. The item under review is an actual technology, it's not actually magic.
Note: "indistinguishable" does not mean it IS magic, just that the observer doesn't understand how it works. Ignorance is the key here. I'm very ignorant of string theory (namu amida butsu for that) and some alien technology millions of years ahead of us would be a PFM as well. Such mysteries do not mean magic has suddenly become a possibility, however, they just mean we don't know how they work. C.f. that cell phone in your pocket. Save a movie on it. Take that phone back to Benjamin Franklin, certified genius. Play it for him. He'll be amazed and freaked, but he won't have a clue how it works. But it doesn't work by MAGIC.
Sheesh.
Yes, Einstein did quote that the most incomprehensible thing about Universe is the Universe is comprehensible.
Since the world and universe is about 99% unknown to each and every one of us. Could magic be something that is highly unknown and when it appears it is manifested into our ego self (which is the known)? Perhaps the unknowns, could also be called spiritual,
The ancient spiritual Religions are now known, so it is no longer a magical or first time spiritual or magical experience. It hard for me to believe if God did have a plan, he would set it into the hands of the Christians in which have the worst record ever, for sin. Or some other one and only right way to God Religion.
For I’m spiritual rather than religious
