The other day I was talking about Sir Arthur Charles Clarke, as I do from time to time, because, for starters, he inspired me when I was a child much shorter than I am now, via his television programmes ‘Arthur C. Clarke’s Mysterious World’ and ‘Arthur C. Clarke’s World of Strange Powers’.其他天我是說主席先生查爾斯克拉克，正如我這樣做，從時間，時間，因為，首先，他啟發我，當我還是小孩的短得多，比我現在，通過他的電視節目' ，阿瑟克拉克' s神秘的世界'和'阿瑟克拉克'的世界奇怪的權力' 。 I grew to also appreciate his scientific contributions, his writing contributions, his love of space, and for being a pioneer and explorer and inventor and futurist.我小時候也欣賞他的科學貢獻，他的寫作的貢獻，他的愛的空間，和作為一個先鋒和Explorer和發明家和未來。 A friend just now told me that he died yesterday, so I’m talking about him now to say, thank you for being.一位朋友剛才告訴我，他昨天去世，因此，我談論他現在說，謝謝你。 You touched my life, as well as the lives of millions.你感動我的生命，以及數百萬人的生命。

Dear Reader, you know me and my “Curiouser and Curiouser …”, well this is something I like about Sir Arthur, who said, “Somewhere in me is a curiosity sensor.親愛的讀者，你知道我和我的“ curiouser和curiouser … … ” ，以及這是我喜歡亞瑟主席先生，誰說， “ 在某處我是一個好奇的傳感器。 I want to know what’s over the next hill.” 我想知道是什麼在接下來的山“ 。
I relate! i涉及！ Sense the same sensor!意識相同的傳感器！ I am curious, I want information, I want to experience, I want to know, and then I want to know more!我很好奇，我想資料，我想經驗，我想知道，然後我想知道更多！ To explore the mystery!探索之謎！ Present with this hill, and, with an (mind’s) eye on the next!目前，與這山，並與一（介意的）著眼於未來！

His work is characterised by an optimistic view of science empowering humanity’s exploration of the solar system and this is the positive view I too share.他的工作特點是由一個樂觀的看法，科學賦予人類的探索太陽系，這是正面的看法，我也分享。

He was Inquiry into the Limits of the Possible.他被調查的範圍可能。 Clear-eyed and far-sighted.清晰的眼睛和富有遠見的。 He never lost his sense of Wonder.他從來沒有失去他的感覺，難怪。

A man who makes us dream.一名男子誰使我們的夢想。

This original thinker ached for better things and I understand this.這個原來的思想家ached更好的東西，我明白這一點。

Interesting that I wrote here on the 19th with bananas in mind!有趣的是，我寫在這裡於19日與香蕉在銘記！ As this is one of my favorite Clarke quotes (outside of quotes from ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’):由於這是一個我最喜愛的克拉克引號（以外的行情從2001 ：太空漫遊' ） ：

“Life is just one big banana. “生命只是一個大香蕉。 Science fiction allows us all to peel open the reality and discover the yellow truth inside.” 科幻小說，讓我們所有果皮開放的現實和發現黃河真理內“ 。

Clarke’s 3 laws: 克拉克的三法律：

1. 1 。 “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. “當一位傑出的科學家，但老人的國家的東西是有可能的，他幾乎可以肯定是正確的。 When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.”當他的國家的東西是不可能的，他是極有可能是錯誤的“ 。

2. 2 。 “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.” “唯一的出路發現的界限，可能是風險小的方式，過去他們把不可能的” 。

3. 3 。 “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” “任何足夠先進的技術是無法區分的，從魔術” 。

And this quote, forgive me, makes me giggle!:這引述，請原諒我，使我giggle ！ ：

Of UFOs: “They tell us absolutely nothing about intelligence elsewhere in the universe, but they do prove how rare it is on Earth.”對ufos ： “他們告訴我們，絕對沒有什麼關於情報其他地方的宇宙，但他們的確證明如何罕見的，這是地球上” 。

In December 2007, on his 90th birthday, Clarke recorded a video message to his friends and fans bidding them good-bye.在2007年12月，他的90歲生日時，克拉克所錄得的視頻信息，他的朋友和歌迷競投，他們良好的再見。 I remember watching it and saying, good-bye for now and thank you.我還記得收看，並說，良好的告別為現在和謝謝。 Fascinating how you can feel connected to someone you’ve never had contact with.迷人的你如何能感受到連接到某人，你以前從來沒有遇到過接觸。
