Death of Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke, one of the best science fiction authors of 20th century, died today at Colombo Sri Lanka. The death finally cought him in the age 90; he was planning to be the guest of first hotel in the Earth’s orbit in 2017, and it is sad that he was unable to fulfil his dream.

When I was a boy, his novel “Childhood’s end” blew up my mind completely, and he remained number 1 in the list my favorite SF writers still. In a sense, I became a physicist because of his books.

Rest in peace, Sir Arthur.
