| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 50569543 United Kingdom11/26/2013 10:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is convention in our modern world (or seemly so) that everything is nuts and bolts. Yet the belief in magic is usually for those countries less reliant on technology or western philosophies. Is quantum mechanics a insight into magic? Or is magic a term used for things that we cannot explain? |

And that if you showed modern man magic, he would think it was technology." -Outlast “The living being had no need of eyes because there was nothing outside of him to be seen; nor of ears because there was nothing to be heard; and there was no surrounding atmosphere to be breathed; nor would there have been any use of organs by the help of which he might receive his food or get rid of what he had already digested, since there was nothing which went from him or came into him: for there was nothing beside him. Of design he created thus; his own waste providing his own food, and all that he did or suffered taking place in and by himself. For the Creator conceived that a being which was self-sufficient would be far more excellent than one which lacked anything; and, as he had no need to take anything or defend himself against any one, the Creator did not think it necessary to bestow upon him hands: nor had he any need of feet, nor of the whole apparatus of walking; but the movement suited to his spherical form which was designed by him, being of all the seven that which is most appropriate to mind and intelligence; and he was made to move in the same manner and on the same spot, within his own limits revolving in a circle. All the other six motions were taken away from him, and he was made not to partake of their deviations. And as this circular movement required no feet, the universe was created without legs and without feet.” -Plato |
