Clarke or Azimov, can't remember which titan of SF said it.
It was Clarke - Azimov had other highly relevant quotes though, particularly the one on anti-intellectualism...
Really? I was sure that was emperor Cleon the somethingth...
Open to correction, however
Nope. It was Clarke.
Foundation turned science to religion which is essentially using Clarke's laws but drawn to it's extreme.
Essentially faith + magic = miracle ≈ science + religion
Nice - thanks for chipping in!
It's Clarke's Third Law.
Pretty sure that was Abraham Lincoln
The vampire hunter?
Neat!
