  9. Arthur C. ClarkeAuthor of 2001 : A Space Odyssey • “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.” • “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.” • “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” The goal, with the help of teachers, is to bring a little of the magic of CERN into the classroom 12/11/2016 Budapest CERN Teacher Programmes
