I woke up this morning with just as much junk in my throat as yesterday afternoon. Thankfully, I could afford to sleep in today and gain a bit of extra rest to aid in the healing. Despite having no class today, I went into town to the Mensa for a while to eat lunch, simply in order to get out of my room for a while. I managed to get all of my homework for the weekend done, with the exception of reading books and a single article plus article response that need to be read and completed.
Today has been one of those “just take it easy” days, which is a nice change from being in town in class for much of the day.
In working on one of my sci-fi class assignments, I was reminded of one of my favourite quotes, as well as two other quotes that other authors wrote in corollary. These three quotes are as follows (my favourite being the first one):
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” –Arthur C. Clarke, (Clarke’s) Three Laws of Prediction
“Any sufficiently rigorously defined magic is indistinguishable from technology.” –Larry Niven, Niven’s Law (re Clarke’s Third Law)
“Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced. “ –Gehm’s Corollary to Clarke’s Third Law
