Arthur C Clarke - 1917 to 2008 ... and beyond

Clarke’s First Law: “When a distinguished but elderly scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he says it is impossible, he is very probably wrong.”

Clarke’s Second Law: “The only way to find the limits of the possible is by going beyond them to the impossible.”

Clarke’s Third Law: ”Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
