Welling Mathematics Indistinguishable from Magic

Clarke's Three Laws are three "laws" of prediction formulated by the British writer and scientist Arthur C. Clarke. They are:

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

One of the best ways to go about achieving a goal of creating advanced technology is to look to the past. Cultures from the past might have very well put time into the realm the modern researcher wants to explore. Instead of reinventing the wheel, seek out what experiments ancient cultures did.
