I really feel inspired by all three of his witty summaries and agree completely. In the few articles in this blog I have tried to approach the essence of transcendental phenomena (Tomorrow), hinted to by the second law.
- First law: 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.
- Second law: The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- Third law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
As to the third law, I have not gone into depth in discussions of complexity (Alucard), most certainly since I do not posses a deep formal understanding of the related family of scientific fields.
The first law is truly fascinating in its own right. I will probably write a separate post in the near future, pertaining to the principle impossibility of developing an intuition for the unknown and the dreadful double-edged blade of experience.
