Arthur Clarke stated three laws in his book An Inquiry into the Limits of the Possible.
 

Clarke's First Law:

"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."

Elderly is defined in physics, mathematics, and astronautics as being over thirty.  Elsewhere it is sometimes defined as being past fourty.  All though there are exceptions, in general scientists over fifty are good for nothing but board meetings, and should at all costs be kept out of the laboratory". (in Profiles of the Future.)

This is what Arthur Clarke thought.  What it's really about is that persons tend to be frozen in the paradign that they grew up in.  I consider myself to be an exception to the age rule, as I am starting fresh, and new, and keep and open mind like starting anew in my studies of esoteric science, technology, and magic.
 

Clarke's Second Law:

"The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible."
 

Clarke's Third Law:

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

My feeling is that magic is a form of technology.  It uses the scalar wave interferometry interface that is in every human brain.  Every person is capable of affecting the zero point energy "chaos" or quantum foam of virtual particles, directly affecting their order, and causing a coherence that can manifest in very real macroscopic effects.
