Philosophical Concepts
“Technology is our word for stuff we
don’t understand.”
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic.”
- Arthur C.
Clarke’s Third Law
|
Arthur C. Clarke’s Three Laws: |
|
1.
“When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is
possible, he is almost certainly right.
When he states
that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. |
|
2.
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a
little way past them into the impossible. |
|
3.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” |
|
- Arthur C. Clarke’s Three Laws
4. When technology becomes
sufficiently obsolete, it becomes an art form. - Hytowitz’s Third Law of Technology and Rule #8 of Science |
“Technology is the use of
increasingly accurate, self-evident, and reproducible information to replace
energy and matter.
The benefit of technology is NOT in what
it lets people accomplish, but in how it improves the character of people.”
- Hytowitz’s
Rule #9 of Science
“As a culture we are only
as good as our memory. As a species we
are only as good as our vision.”
“Knowledge is good.”
–
Emil Faber (“Animal House”)
“It is
important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to
their studies;
they are
not here to worship what is known, but to question it.”
- Jacob Bronowski, “The Ascent of Man”
The first rule of science
is to challenge your own assumptions.

Cyclops – The World’s Largest Vision Test Device Acrobat Document
Cyclops
is a 10 foot diameter Dyop® image used at Boy Scout Camp Rainey Mountain to
determine the line
of sight distance from Big Rock to the Camp Administration Building. The rotating Dyop® segments were
moved inward to reduce the rotating image diameter in 3 inch increments. The Dyop® acuity endpoint Image diameter of 9 feet 6 inches indicates a
Big Rock Viewing Distance of 3800 feet. (Assistance and permission thanks
to the Staff and Leadership of North East Georgia Boy Scouts.) |

From the “Gates of Repentance” Prayer Book: “Just as the hand, held before the eye, can hide the tallest mountain, so the routine of everyday life can keep us from seeing the vast radiance and the secret wonders that fill the world.” - Chasidic, 18th Century The Scientists’ Prayer: “Blessed are You, Eternal our God, Sovereign of
the Universe, who enlightens us with Your Commandments and allows us to use
honest weights and measures to better see and understand the Universe and
You.” - Hytowitz’s Research
