Arthur C. Clarke (for his notions on time)

Arthur C. Clarke, a visionary science fiction writer, explored complex ideas about time, notably through his concept of "clarke's three laws," especially the third: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." He also considered time as flexible and multi-dimensional, suggesting that future civilizations might manipulate or perceive time differently than we do. His works often depict time as a non-linear flow, emphasizing that our understanding of past, present, and future may be limited, and that advanced knowledge could allow for behaviors like time travel or altering historical events, all rooted in plausible scientific principles.
