Sir Arthur C Clarke, RIP
It is with sadness we learned today of the passing of Sir Arthur C. Clarke, the great science fiction writer and space visionary.
Arthur was a hero of ours, and his cartoon self found his way into many of our comics over the years. It was a great thrill of ours when a few years ago, we learned from an acquaintance of Arthur's, that he had seen our work and thought it was "well done".
Among his many legacies are Clarke's Three 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.
Thanks Arthur, for bringing both advanced technology and such wonderful magic into this world.
Below are Arthur's 90th birthday reflections...
