Yeah, I felt like doing something stupid and random today. It is highly likely that my brain is fried. I was talking to a friend and she posed an interesting question. Let us assume you met a rudimentary magician. Let us assume he can do
five simple tricks–he can pull a rabbit out of his hat, he can make a
coin disappear, he can turn the ace of spades into the Joker card, and
two others in a similar vein. These are his only tricks and he can't
learn any more; he can only do these five. HOWEVER, it turns out he's
doing these five tricks with real magic. It's not an illusion; he can
actually conjure the bunny out of the ether and he can move the coin
through space. He's legitimately magical, but extremely limited in
scope and influence.






Would this person be more impressive than Albert Einstein?


I think the more common answer would be the magician because he breaks the rules that Albert Einstein subscribes to. However, I came to the conclusion that both are impressive in their own right. Albert Einstein was an impressive man, aside from what he did for the scientific community and the magician certainly must be impressive for defying the laws of physics. But they are two separate individuals equally impressive in their own rights. I can figure out the theory of relativity and pull negro out of a hat using real magic. I win.


till next time
