Clarke's Three Laws
Science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke formulated the following three laws:
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 by venturing a little way past them into the impossible.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
