Arthur C. Clarke

For many years Arthur’s books has thrilled my imagination and curiousity and I think he influenced the way I think of science – he had a positive attidtude towards new science and he was an optimist and a dreamer, and he loved talking about exploring the universe.

Each clear night when I study and gaze at the stars I alsways let my imagination fly, mostly with images that Arthur C. Clark helped me form in my inner space with books like Glide Path, 2001 A Space Odyssey, 2010 Odyssey Two, 2061 Odyssey Three, 3001 The Final Odyssey, The Nine Billion Names of God, Imperial Earth, The deep range, Songs of Distant Earth, Imperial Earth, The wind from the sun, Rendezvous with Rama and so on. Rendezvous with Rama the movie btw is being released 2009.

In june 1999 I joined SETI and The Planetary Society – inspired by Arthur C. Clarke, after that all my computers have been working day and night. He was a fighter for Seti and I think we can thank him that the project still gets funding.

Rest in peace Arthur, I hope you get your 3 wishes through – that we once find cleaner forms of energysources, we once find life in outer space and peace in Sri Lanka.

Arthur C. Clarke

I mange år har bøkene til Arthur C. Clarke pirret min fantasi og nysgjerrighet og jeg tror han har påvirket mitt syn på vitenskap i stor grad. Han hadde alltid en positiv tone når han snakket om ny vitenskap, han var en optimist og en drømmer og han elsket å snakke om utforskning av universet.

Hver stjerneklare kveld når jeg nyter synet lar jeg fantasien min fly, mest med bilder påvirket av Arthur C. Clark fra hans bøker som Glide Path, 2001 A Space Odyssey, 2010 Odyssey Two, 2061 Odyssey Three, 3001 The Final Odyssey, The Nine Billion Names of God, Imperial Earth, The deep range, Songs of Distant Earth, Imperial Earth, The wind from the sun, Rendezvous with Rama osv. Rendezvous with Rama er forresten i ferd med å bli filmatisert og kommer i 2009.

I juni 1999 ble jeg medlem av Seti og Planetary Society – inspirert av Arthur C. Clark. Siden da har maskinene mine tygget på data både natt og dag. Han kjempet for Seti og jeg tror Seti kan takke Arthur C. Clark for at prosjektet fremdeles eksisterer.

Hvil i fred Arthur, jeg håper dine tre ønsker går i oppfyllelse – at vi en gang finner en renere form for energikilde, at vi en gang finner liv i rommet og at konflikten på Sri Lanka løses.

    A wonderful author! I can still remember the effect of Nine Billion Names of God when I read it years and years ago.

  3. Hope sier:

    My first, and still favorite, was Childhood’s End. His work was “indistinguishable from magic.”

    All I can say is, that he will be missed.

    Arthur C Clark along with Robert Heinlein were my introduction into the world of science fiction back when I was just a puppy. They are both gone now and the world is a dimmer place for that.
