Splash du Jour: Wednesday


He is the world’s best-selling science fiction writer.
In Nostradamian fashion, he has predicted satellite communications, man's landing on the moon and giant space stations circling the Earth.

He is Arthur C. Clarke.

He said:
I'm sure we would not have had men on the Moon if it had not been for Wells and Verne and the people who write about this and made people think about it. I'm rather proud of the fact that I know several astronauts who became astronauts through reading my books.

Clarke's First Law: When a distinguished but elderly scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he says it is impossible, he is very probably wrong. Clarke's Second Law: The only way to find the limits of the possible is by going beyond them to the impossible. Clarke's Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Have a great Wednesday!
