Arthur C. Clarke's Three Laws
While reading Arthur C. Clarke's obit in the times today I came across his three laws:
- "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong."
- "The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible."
- "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
These resoundingly ring true.
