    Clarke’s three laws, referring to Arthur C. Clarke.

    The laws are:

    • 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.
    • The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
    • Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

      Thank you!

      There’s actually a very cool philosophical argument that we are actually creating new fundamental rules of the universe by studying them. Simulation theory maybe? Dunno how much stock I put into it, but it’s kinda cool to think about.
