Clarke’s three laws. Formulated by Arthur C. Clarke.
* 1st law: 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.
* 2nd law: The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little ways past them into the impossible.
* 3rd law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
