Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Arthur C. Clarke

I'm surprised at some technological development, and the realization that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. I think the CD-ROM is the best example of that. The idea of having a whole symphony, or opera, or novel in a little piece of plastic is pretty amazing.

Arthur C. Clarke

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a completely ad hoc plot device.

David Langford

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.

Arthur C. Clarke

Any kind of music can be written badly and it can be written wonderfully. I admire a top performer in any field.

Jack Kirby

Sufficiently advanced political correctness is indistinguishable from sarcasm.

Erik Naggum

The 'indistinguishable from magic' thing is highly dependent on where a viewer is looking from and not something intrinsic to any particular sort of tech.

Ann Leckie

Any technology that is distinguishable from magic is not sufficiently advanced.

Gregory Benford

William knows that science and magic are the same thing; magic is only science that hasn't been explained yet. Tonight he has made chemistry into magic for her.

Joshilyn Jackson

I abhor badly-written characters and any character, be it man, woman, any character in the film. If it is a well-written character, it will come across as strong.

Sayani Gupta

Effective searching procedures become, when the search-space is sufficiently large, indistinguishable from true creativity.

Richard Dawkins

It's not that any sufficiently advanced technology is magic, it's that any technology taking place beyond the threshold of our senses is.

Nick Harkaway

We are not sufficiently astonished by the fact that any science may be possible.

Louis de Broglie

The truth is more magical - in the best and most exciting sense of the word - than any myth or made-up mystery or miracle. Science has its own magic: the magic of reality.

Richard Dawkins

Magic is antiphysics, so it can't really exist. But is shares one thing with science. I can explain the principle behind a good science experiment in 15 seconds; the same way with magic.

Koji Nakanishi

It's a fine line between magic and science. In medieval times, science was magic.

Dan Fogler
