Arthur C. Clark’s Three “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.

  3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

- Arthur C. Clarke, author of 2001: A Space Odyssey
