March 18th, 2008 by Bryan | File under: Obituary

Science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke died today. He was 90 years old.

Clarke’s 3 Laws of Prediction:

  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.

He’ll be missed, Dave.
