Sir Arthur C. Clarke, the author of the novel "2001: A Space Odyssey" and its accompanying movie directed by Stanley Kubrick, passed away this morning in his home in Sri Lanka.

It's a bit hard for me given that Clarke's writings were one of my first introductions to science fiction. I did my 6th grade book report on 2001: A Space Odyssey. Rendezvous with Rama and its sequels saw me through my teenage years. Fountains of Paradise introduced me to the idea of the orbital elevator. The first time I ever heard the words "Mandelbrot Set," it was in the book "Ghost from the Grand Banks."

CLARKE'S THREE LAWS:

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."

3. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."


Farewell, old man. Hope Stanley Kubrick's waiting for you on the other side.

P.S. Dear all other celebrities who touched and shaped my childhood: none of you are allowed to die for another two or three years. Signed, the 10 year old Albert

Hey...
If not else, there's still the matter of honoring your side of the deal on that old meme. After all, you gave your word; and I imagine the worth of your word should be more to you, as you are a writer.

I mean; if I writer's word is worthless....
