As crazy or stupid as it may sound to some people there are some dreams and ideas I will never Give up no matter how impossible it may seem now.
One account stated that Clarke’s laws were developed after the editor of his works in French started numbering the author’s assertions. [ 2 ] All three laws appear in Clarke’s essay “Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination”, first published in Profiles of the Future (1962); [ 3 ] however, they were not all published at the same time. Clarke’s first law was proposed in the 1962 edition of the essay, as “Clarke’s Law” in Profiles of the Future.
The second law is offered as a simple observation in the same essay but its status as Clarke’s second law was conferred by others. It was initially a derivative of the first law and formally became Clarke’s second law where the author proposed the third law in the 1973 revision of Profiles of the Future, which included an acknowledgement. [ 4 ] It was also here that Clarke wrote about the third law in these words: “As three laws were good enough for Newton, I have modestly decided to stop there”
