Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

1.) What is your belief on this?
2.) Lets say you go back in time and give a medival man any everyday item from day, they would consider it magic, how is that different?
3.) If you were put 2000+ years in the future and you see their everyday items which you would not believe is possible for humans to create (that doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future) would that be magic or would that still be science?
4.) How would you define magic then?

Personally magic is something that defies the fundamental laws of the universe itself, but even that can be debated so I am kind of stuck on this.

Just to somewhat counter that statement. How can we define magic from 2000 years ago? Maybe this wouldn't even qualify as magic for them, maybe they didn't even believe in magic? who knows? What I do believe in is technology. Everything mankind creates via technology is using the planet's resources, so it's nothing supernatural and will eventually lead to us running ourselves dry.

10 years ago VR sounded a dream of fantasy to me and now that its here everyone just overlooks it like its some basic technology
so yeah i think if we back to like 1940 with some vr technology they'd be like this is alien technology or some shit

magic is to me is flying, supernatural stuff duh

That question can only be answered if you have ice barrage unlocked.

Magic is anything someone doesn't understand, so ya advanced tech can be viewed as magic

[Tiger.]

Magic is something that isnt possible, so technology really shouldn't be classified as "magic"

Let me ask you another question than dave; If you lets say were asked to be part of a experiment and you were told you would be transported 2000+ years in the future, would anything you see shock you there? Has today's society become so desensitized to progress that nothing can really shock us (to an extent that it might shock a medieval or caveman if they came here today)

Initial shock, sure. Humans adapt and get used to shit. I'd get used to it over time.
