"Noted science writer arthur c. clarke later predicted that the Haisch?Rueda—Puthoff paper would one day be regarded as a 'landmark^, and in 300/: The Final Odyssey, gave a nod to their contribution by creating a spacecraft powered by an inertia-cancelling drive known as the SHARP drive (an acronym for 'Sakharov, Haisch, Alfonso Rueda and Puthoff ').38 As Clarke wrote, in justifying his immortalization of their theory: It addresses a problem so fundamental that it is normally taken for granted, with a that's-just-the-way-the-universe-is-made shrug of the shoulders." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "It was evident to everyone that they were at the beginning of an exploration that would one day, as arthur c. clarke had put it, make today's current efforts at venturing beyond our atmosphere look like nineteenth-century attempts to conquer flight with a hot-air balloon." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Our View of Theory and Experiments," published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration: As we peer into the heavens from the depth of our gravity well, hoping for some "magic" solution that will launch our spacefarers first to the planets and then to the stars, we are reminded of Arthur C. Clarke's phrase that highly advanced technology is essentially indistinguishable from magic. Fortunately, such magic appears to be waiting in the wings of our deepening understanding of the quantum vacuum in which we live. Why the Universe Cannot Be Random?" - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)

"The science writer arthur c. clarke reminds us that, "Science, unlike politics or diplomacy, does not depend on consensus or expediency—it progresses by open-minded probing, rigorous questioning, independent thought and, when the need arises, being bold enough to say that the emperor has no clothes." The public has been deceived by 40 years of references to hyperactivity, minimal brain damage, ADD, ADHD, etc. as neurologic, pathologic, biologically based, or chemical imbalances, and none of it could pass the test of science. Indeed, the emperor is ugly, and it is not a pretty sight." - Fred A. Baughman, Jr., M.D. and Craig Hovey, The ADHD Fraud: How Psychiatry Makes "Patients" of Normal Children (Get the book.)

"Early concepts of a "tower" reaching into orbit first popped up in the late nineteenth century, and arthur c. clarke imagined a more plausible version in his 1953 Fountains of Paradise. In the late 1990s, when NASA's Institute for Advanced Concepts first started seriously entertaining the idea, they projected that development would take until the latter part of the twenty-first century. But the LiftPort Group now says that a working version could be built by 2018. Going up?" - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Arthur C. Clarke's foreword in 2001, A Space Odyssey, 1968) Clarke himself, the towering visionary giant of science futures, probably gets a whole galaxy allocated to him! RESOURCES CHAPTER 1 1 A. Linde, 'The Self-Reproducing Inflationary Universe', Scientific American vol 9, no. 1, 1998. 2 M. White, Isaac Newton, The Last Sorcerer (Fourth Estate, 1997). 3 R. Sheldrake, The Rebirth of Nature (Rider, 1990). 4 J. C. Eccles, Evolution of the Brain: Creation of the Self (Routledge, 1989). 5 R. D. Pearson, Intelligence Behind the Universe (The Headquarters Publishing Co. Ltd., 1990). 6 R." - Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.) "What Nature can do,' the late arthur c. clarke wrote, 'Man can also do in his own way'. As Frederik Pohl, also a sci-fi writer, stated in a 1964 Playboy article 'Intimations of Immortality': 'The essential 'you' isn't your body. It is what we call your personality, your memory, your mind. This essential 'you' could be preserved inside a computer, a collection of magnetic impulses in an IBM machine'. What then would be the state of VIRTUAL MEDICINE? Presumably physicians like me would have to be computer geeks and know how to handle floppy discs, save, copy, backup, restore and edit files." - Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.) "Celebrated writer arthur c. clarke first put forward this idea in a 1956 book The City and The Stars, though how the fictional civilization managed this trick he does not reveal in the story. But writer Bob Ettinger takes it very seriously and his book Man Into Superman is definitely non-fiction. He foresees the day when it will be possible to transfer our human personalities to a software package which thinks, feels and communicates. We would then dispense with the inconvenient restrictions of the body and its incessant demands for foraging and procreation." - Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.)

"Destined for fame as the author of 2001:A Space Odyssey (1968), the English-born arthur c. clarke (b. 1917) got his start in Astouding Stories under Campbell as well. Campbell also raised the profile of fantasy through another pulp, Unknown. Only Weird Tales, the primary outlet for the legendary fantasist H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), exceeds Unknown in significance. A number of fantasy writers elaborated on Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos, a system of gods and demons based in his native New England. The mushroom clouds that ended World War II fundamentally changed science fiction and fantasy." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)
