Childhood's end: Arthur C. Clarke passes away at age 90
Arthur C. Clarke is perhaps best known for his three laws of prediction. These laws may not have been perfectly planned, and the second one was added by his readers; it simply appeared in the same essay as the first. The third was added by Clarke 11 years later, making an even set. The laws state:
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.
la terza è di gran lunga la mia preferita e Clarke dopo Philip K.Dick è sempre stato il mio autore preferito di SF tradizionale. Altro buon giornalismo anglosassone qui, una ironica spiegazione del perchè non vedremo presto (forse mai) un film tratto da Rendezvous with Rama* dal mio sito preferito
mia madre diceva sempre che se ne vanno a grappoli di tre. uhm.
*che è molto più figo di 2001: a space odissey
