Farewell Arthur C. Clarke

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

We would like to spend some time to say farewell to a person that inspired us in our quest for a universal truth. He is sci fi legend & one of the most renown futurist of our time Sir Arthur C. Clarke.

He died recently on the 18th of March in his adopted home of Sri Lanka.
Needless to say 2001: A Space Odyssey which he co-wrote with Stanley Kubric, is one of our favorite movies ever. It woke us up to artificial intelligence & also our existence in this universe. We followed Arthur C Clarke’s British television series in the late 70’s or early 80’s called Mysterious World religiously, which discussed everything from the Loch Ness monster to UFO’s.

Last December on his 90th birthday he passed along three wishes: “for ethnically divided Sri Lanka to find lasting peace, for the world to embrace cleaner energy resources, and for extraterrestrial beings to “call us or give us a sign.”
Thank you for the inspiration…
