¿Qué es el futuro?

• ¡El futuro ya no es lo que era antes!

Mafalda

Carl Sagan: The Cosmic Calendar

Sir Arthur C. Clarke in Sri Lanka


Las 3 Leyes de Arthur C. Clarke

• Primera Ley: Cuando un científico famoso dice que algo es posible, probablemente tiene razón. Pero cuando dice que es imposible, probablemente está equivocado.

• Segunda Ley: La única manera de conocer los límites de lo posible es aventurarse más allá de ellos y llegar hasta lo imposible.

• Tercera Ley: Cualquier tecnología suficientemente avanzada no se diferencia de la magia.
