Murphys Laws: Clarke's First Law to Clark's First Law of Relativity Corollary
(Murphy's Laws collected: 1583)
Clarke's First Law : 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.
Clarke's First Law Corollary (Asimov) : When the lay public rallies round an idea that is denounced by distinguished but elderly scientists, and supports that idea with great fervor and emotion -- the distinguished but elderly scientists are then, after all, right.
Clarke's Second Law : The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.
Clarke's Third Law : Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Clarke's Law of Revolutionary Ideas : Every revolutionary idea -- in Science, Politics, Art or Whatever -- evokes three stages of reaction. They may be summed up by the three phrases:
Clarke's Law of Revolutionary Ideas : It is completely impossible -- don't waste my time.
Clarke's Law of Revolutionary Ideas : It is possible, but it is not worth doing.
Clarke's Law of Revolutionary Ideas : I said it was a good idea all along.
Clark's First Law of Relativity : No matter how often you trade dinner or other invitations with in-laws, you will lose a small fortune in the exchange.
Clark's First Law of Relativity Corollary : Don't try it: you cannot drink enough of your in-laws' booze to get even before your liver fails.
