Following Clarke’s three laws1.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 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.
Arthur C. Clarke in the essay "Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination”, 1962
