What's your favourite Arthur C. Clarke novel?

@clintonsmith5163 3 года назад

I'll go with Clarke's novella "A Meeting With Medusa", about an expedition to explore the atmosphere of Jupiter.

An amazing man and a wonderful interview but can’t help but feel sad at his hopeful enthusiasm for the immediate future of space travel. He would love our space telescopes and Mars probes but I think he would be disappointed overall in our slow rate of progress.

@ellie-tk4jy Год назад

He only died in 2008.

@sciencedavedunning3415 Год назад

We're all disappointed in our lack of progress. We went to the moon too early and for the wrong reasons. As soon as we discovered what resources were there , we dismantled the Saturn5 infrastructure and locked ourselves up back on Earth. Then we built the shuttle system designed to bring down satellites for repair , when by he time they needed repair they were obsolete anyway. We pay to send the same shuttle mass up over and over again leaving nothing in orbit. If, instead of shuttles, we had sent up habitat modules, Nasa would be selling tickets for orbital adventures instead of private industry run by kooks who think Mars is the next target. If you want a space program to pay for itself, Ceres is the target. Mars is Death Valley, Ceres is the Comstock Lode.

@linengray 3 года назад

@J. Bernays On second thoughts, I would have avoided the cruise to avoid being near to Norman Mailer who did assault and stab his wife, nearly killing her. After a thorough investigation there were never any charges nor any case filed against Clarke and no one ever came forward to say he abused them. You would think that since Clarke has been dead for over 12 years that someone, anyone, anywhere would have come out of the woodwork by now.

Einstein is so often misunderstood because he was always very careful to state that his 'laws' were subject to the observer and their frame of reference.

@ellie-tk4jy Год назад

Which then means most science is questionable.

@fred_2021 Год назад

@@ellie-tk4jy In the context of Einstein’s ‘relativity’, ‘subject to the observer’ does not mean ‘subject to the observer’s opinion of what the laws of physics should be’. You will understand that if you look into why his theories are labeled Special RELATIVITY and General RELATIVITY. If you can’t get your head around the fact that the ‘speed of light’ is the same for all observers, regardless of their speeds relative to each other, don’t worry about it, you’re in good company.

In hindsight it is sad that Apollo 17 was the end of the US missions to the Moon. The hopes and dreams expressed by Dr Clark about future space travel within a decade were the optimism of the day. Congress dashed those hopes of mankind when NASA had its budgets slashed for thirty years ending the aspirations of an entire generation of people.

Yes, this was 1972 and Arthur C. Clark was proven right again. We all would be able to fly in space in just a few years and stay in hotels on the moon. But those who have stayed in those space hotels orbiting the earth, on the moon, and even now on Mars, say it looses it thrill after a few times being that those places are urber expensive, and only one mistake away from a life threatening disaster.

@LoveAlwaysAlwaysLove 2 года назад

To have huminismzed God, is way erroneous to enlightenment. God, by any name, is greater than ourselves and beyond measure. The speed of light, we've now come to understand, is too slow for our non-linear universe to traverse. As well as we ourselves. The truth is unconditional love does liberate us all, from any previously held restrictions, and far far more than we've yet to imagine. Remaning openhearted to the infinite possibilities of our shared creative source oneness, allows only the highest and best to blanket all outcome as well as results to every goodness. Yepper!

One problem with Clarke's idea about God not being able to move faster than light is that, biblically, God is everywhere. Oxygen doesn't need to move faster than light to be in China. It's omnipresent. God is not a corporeal being bound by the limitations of the material world. He's beyond it.

@reimourrpower9357 3 года назад

Respect to clarke on 2001: A Space Oddessey and his ideas on the Universe. It's interesting he would not believe that areas like the Bermuda Triangle are actual vortex regions where unusual occurences happen. Too many pilots & ships have experienced strange events in that place to deny it exists. The bermuda Triangle is no more out there than UFO's and outer space intelligent life Clarke proposes.

@brianarbenz1329 Год назад

Clarke is correct on that. The number of ships and planes that have been lost in that territory known as the Bermuda triangle, when adjusted for the relative number which travel through it, is no greater than the number of ships and planes lost in any other similarly sized part of the ocean. The reason no remains are ever found is because airplanes become completely submerged very quickly after a crash or a ditch -- often less than two minutes. Same for sinking ships. And small debris left after a crash is very hard to spot from search planes, even flying low, because of sun angles and bobbing waves. The whole legend of the "Bermuda Triangle" was pushed by unscrupulous pseudo-researchers who often falsified reports of UFO sightings and took data from old records out of context. An excellent PBS Nova report in 1977 showed how all this was done.

@sledgehammer9739 3 года назад

God is an atheist.

@theresahemminger1587 3 года назад

The difference between the laws of nature and breaking the laws of nature is called a miracle. One may or may not believe in miracles (‘belief’ being necessary because a miracle is outside the laws of nature) but if someone brings up ‘god’, then ‘miracles’ are part of the discussion. The ‘laws of nature’ (in both causation and logic) stem from the nature of god but do not exhaust it. So there is no conflict between god and reason, i.e. logic, including math, and science which deals with the measurable universe and is numerative. Pure spirit would not be measurable and, being whole, is not numerative, and, being infinite, is not measurable. I am, myself, an atheist but I am tired of weak arguments that prove nothing but make people who believe in god feel stupid. If it makes their lives that are full of experiences that don’t feel scientific or logical feel more comprehensible or comforting, I’m all for it. I’m not for the use of religion as a political ramrod or a mass market money machine.

. . As it was, his aversion to religion, in the sense usually attached to the term, was of the same kind with that of Lucretius: he regarded it with the feelings due not to a mere mental delusion, but to a great moral evil. He looked upon it as the greatest enemy of morality: first, by setting up fictitious excellences-belief in creeds, devotional feelings, and ceremonies, not connected with the good of human-kind-and causing these to be accepted as substitutes for genuine virtues: but above all, by radically vitiating the standard of morals; making it consist in doing the will of a being, on whom it lavishes indeed all the phrases of adulation, but whom in sober truth it depicts as eminently hateful.
