Clarke's Laws
Clarke's Laws are three adages proposed by the science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke that highlight the relationship between technology and society. The first law states that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, meaning that unfamiliar technologies can seem miraculous. The second law suggests that scientists may limit their imaginations when creating technologies, which can hinder innovation. The third law emphasizes that for every expert, there is an equal and opposite expert, implying that knowledge is often contested. Together, these laws reflect the complexities and paradoxes of human understanding and technological progress.
