Summary

This quote, often attributed to Arthur C. Clarke, suggests that highly advanced technology can appear supernatural or miraculous to people who do not comprehend or understand it. When technology becomes so advanced that it surpasses our understanding, its workings may seem inexplicable, leading to the perception of it being magical. It emphasizes the idea that our perception of what is magical or extraordinary is relative to our level of knowledge and understanding of the world around us.

Beside her, she can feel each breath he draws. How is it possible to be so close to a person and still not know what you are to each other? With baseball, it's simple. There's no mystery to what happens on the field because everything has a label -- full count, earned run, perfect game -- and there's a certain amount of comfort in this terminology.
