I think the best way to go about defining it is to try to keep the definition wide and open but make note of the fact that there are some types of magic that are the high degree of science humans do not fully understand or have a more solid foundation in science which can be explained or reasoned by human standards. That's not how we do things here. We can't twist the official MCU facts and ignore Thor's statement just because you don't like it. If the MCU characters say that magic and science are the same thing, we have to accept that. It could be that Asgardians are so skilled in both that they see little difference. Or, Thor could be stating that magic is their science. Either way, I think it will be explained in Ragnarok, because we'll be seeing more of the mystical figures like Hel and Surtur.
