\end{flashcard}
\begin{flashcard}[Law]{Clarke's Second Law}
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the improbable.
\end{flashcard}
\begin{flashcard}[Law]{Clarke's Third Law}
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
