Clarke’s Third Law
Clarke’s Third Law is probably the best known and most widely cited of the three and states that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Just as an aside the others are:
1. 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.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

As far as that Malcolm is concerned just about any technology conforms to Clarke’s Third Law.
