OP Today marks the passing of one of the greatest writers of science fiction, Arthur C. Clarke. In his honor, I post his "laws":
1. 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.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
I know most of those visiting this website are born readers, although not all of science fiction, and hopefully appreciate the contributions Mr. Clarke made to expanding our thoughts and the pushing out the boundaries of what we know into what might be...

He will be greatly missed.
