Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Clarke or Azimov, can’t remember which titan of SF said it.

It was Clarke - Azimov had other highly relevant quotes though, particularly the one on anti-intellectualism…

Really? I was sure that was emperor Cleon the somethingth…

Open to correction, however

Nope. It was Clarke.

Foundation turned science to religion which is essentially using Clarke’s laws but drawn to it’s extreme.

Essentially faith + magic = miracle ≈ science + religion

Nice - thanks for chipping in!
