I cried when I found out he was dead. I was on the way to karate. I found out on the radio, ten minutes after it happened. I saved his obituary in the Washington Post. It is in my bedroom.
i agree with all of his visions and using electrical energy instead of oil.
Most of what Arthur said is coming true in
quantum physics, string theory and many dimensions.One day in time the people of Earth will transform to level #1and then to Level#2 when that happens we will be immortal.And yes we will be joined together in PEACE with many others in the UNIVERSE
Once the Human Genome is fixed we will live for a much longer time to visit the Universe
What a great man. I never met him but miss him. On his 90th birthday he wanted to give us his wisdom and understanding of the world. I have been told that there are two ways of living that become apparent in old age. One is of compassion and the other is of selfishness. Listening to Arthur C. Clark struggle to give us his last breaths is heartwarming.

Why do we block some negative comments? I am as curious to read the smart comments as the idiotic ones. We should not hide these as they are windows into the enlightenment and remaining idiocy in human nature. Peace...
Bouncingship. My view was clealy expressed in my comment. and ,sad though the truth, may be you have provided nothing ,in response, of any significance. whatsoever..
response to recent ommensts on his sexuality. I recall his open admission on TV to staying in Sri Lanka because of the ready availability of young boys. Brilliant writer, and thinker no doubt, but also a disgusting self confessed pervert, .Being "gay" is one thing, corrupting young , usually poverty stricken, innocents is another.
What the heck are you on about? "2001" was a superb piece of imaginative writing, and, might I add, made far more sense than the movie. And it's my favourite film ever, no less.
I think both the book and the film have their strong points. Overall, I would prefer the film, but the book is phenomenal. I wouldn't change a word of it.
Journalists who inquired of Clarke whether he was gay were told, "No, merely mildly cheerful." However, Michael Moorcock has written, "Everyone knew Arthur was gay. In the 1950s I'd go out drinking with his boyfriend. We met his proteges, western and eastern, and their families: people who had only the most generous praise for his kindness. Self-absorbed he might be, and a teetotaller, but an impeccable gent through and through." R.I.P. old buddy.
After the camera turned off, Clarke probably turned to his most trusted servant and said something like, ""Bring me that young fellow, the one with the lovely eyes. Drug him well. I don't feel like wrestling."
Oh you people with the thumbs down business need to lighten up and laugh a little. I am an Arthur C Clarke fan and I think Arthur would have the common sense to laugh right along witht eh rest of us. Stop with the hate and laugh a little...it keeps you young and makes you stronger. Light, love and blessings to the Clark family.
This was very moving. Arthur C. Clarke is a writer I admire very much. Even though I have only read a few of his work so far, I can say without hesitation that he was a genius and I can only imagine people's gratefulness for him and his contribution to literature and mankind will grow as time goes on.
this is sad to see him go, i only read childhoods end a month before i found out he passed, i can't believe somebody with such vivid dreams has just passed, rip Sir Arthur C. Clarke, you have changed my life and hopefully many others.
Rest in peace, Maestro! Thank you for everything that you were, for all these visions and adventures, that made my life a bit happier. We all love you! We miss you!
Thnx so much i hope you can read all these comments right now Arthur But I go 2 ur skoo thats named after you, AI herd a lot of ppl say that he wuz a great respectful man.
Lots of wise thoughts there even at such a ripe age. I wish him the best possible ride through his grand finalé years.
-------------
OT:
This made me feel sad inside. For a moment there, I imagined myself in his shoes, on the edge of logging out from this world. If I live the way I currently am, I'll regret alot of things when daydreaming about the past like he does. From now on, If need be, I'll take more opportunities, try more things and spread more love.
looking very much forward to seeing more videos. Just found out about Arthur C Clarke. Little late for the party but glad I found him here at youtube. Thanks for sharing his videos!
I'm not trying to disrespect him . I'm trying to say that God and Jesus loves him and they would take good care of him and his family . Now am I disrespecting him .
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT MATE. Why church killed lots of great scientists who discovered truth Gallelio Socratise. Now your churches APOLOGIZING For those mistakes.What a bloody crap
I really got the chills when he bid farevell at the end. Like a beautiful old and tired tide of geniosity and intelligence gently washing on a beautiful peaceful beach. You took us on the edge of imagination. All we can is to heartwarmingly thank you. You won't be forgotten - rest in peace.
What an amazing man, what an amazing mind. I just learned he passed. At the same time, I heard about this farewell video. Thank you for posting it, and thank you to Mr. Clarke for all his wonderful words and ideas.
I had no idea he died! And I just did a report on him in like February! I am shocked and really sad. Jeez, I had no idea...this sucks. Now the only survivor from the great trio of minds is Hawking, now that Sagan and Clarke are dead. Who knows when Hawking will drop dead?
You must have finished your report before he died, because he died in March. It's too bad - but he lived a long life and was an extraordinarily prolific author.
Excellent human being and visionary and someone who thought us that we can live in harmony with our technological mastery in harmony with the Earth and each other and that a glorious technological future awaits the human race which is a positive theme that runs in all his books and media appearances.
Sri Lanka's most famous resident since the 1950s. Sri Lanka and the world will deeply miss him!
A lovely man with a noble vision, Arthur Clarke was a benevolent and generous uncle for all of us.
His great dream, his grand wish, was for humanity to wake up from our primitive impulses, which proved an asset before but are now an onerous and dangerous burden. A way to achieve the enlightenment we are capable of, would be by realizing via irrefutable proof, that life exists elsewhere.
I love his dream. I dream of his dream and have made it my own.
What made him so great was that he reached out. He always wanted to talk, share and inform. I don't think that anybody can replace that sense of openness. Here's to vivid dreams...!
I sure am going too miss his wonderful way at looking at things. He has been an insperation too me for a very long time, and will live on in my memories.
read Don't laugh at this! Just do it Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck You have just been visited by DrSuess's Cat in the Hat. He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come true
Arthur C Clarke you will be sadly missed. I have videos of your programmes and I will always tresure them for ever and ever. I hope one day there will name a planet and a star after you. RIP Arthur you are a living legend and a great arthur and writer.
Sir Arthur, it is with some sadness and gratitude that I bid you farewell, may you enjoy your final odyssey, the lone trek into the unknown. May you rendezvous with your own personal Rama, a new place for life amidst the eternal stars. May your name be carved on black obelisks a mile high, for your contribution to the realms of mans mind-space.
I don't think anybody could have written a better send-off, your words brought a tear to my eye, thank you. Somewhere in the cosmos, a new Starchild has been born.
Don't just hear his words.. listen to them..If u do.. You'll find out What he tries to convey ! One of the great thinkers. If not for his Imaginations, You wont even be typing these Commence.. !! Have some respect towards this great man... RIP sir Clarke...
He took me to far away places and introduced me to strange new beings. He made me younger as I grew older. Life goes on, but not as bright as before. RIP Arthur.
it is bizzare but then you should look to other peoples derogatory statements and baseless accusations of arthur c clarke and then you will understand how this "bizzare argument" came about.
people greg jocka is a gay troll who I think was abused by a man as a young child, if you look at his page he has naked men and body builders , he is very angry and I think that is why he is trolling here with his obsessive allegations against clarke, i feel pity for him.
gregjocka said "you wouldn't know pseudoscience it dropped onto your five-month-old baby and crushed him to death." there seems to be a common thread with you, you are obsessed with peadophillia and now you talking about 5 month old babies, do you have something to confess, maybe we should call the authorities, it seems you have an unhealthy interest in young children.
no no, i didnt say everything that i have said is wrong, and I was not referring to the peado allegations of arthur c clarke, unlike you I do not believe to possess absolute truth, you profess to have this truth of arthur clarkes activities but yet you provide no evidence for your allegations, I think you are just a troll trying to wind people up.
your logic is insane, what you are doing is using a non sequitur, he was implying because peadophiles have gone free therefore arthur c clarke is guilty, that is called a non sequitur and no evidence has been provided that arthur clarke was a peado, if you make allegations then you should back them up with evidence, he was an alleged peado and he was cleared, therefore they were unproven allegations, that does not mean he was innocent, you are calling someone peado but you provide no evidence.
Now I am humble enough to admit if I am wrong, so it would be interesting to know what his supporters and detractors both feel about his contributions.
I am truly sorry for what that man did to you as a child. It is profoundly sad. However, focusing your anger on Clarke after his death is pointless and sad. I wish you peace and happiness. Keep your chin up buddy, no-body is perfect.
There are things that Sir Arthur C. Clarke, knew that he probably should not have known. He was involved with some high level technology. I am sure that "they" used this form of slander to help to control him. It was probably more of a warning. You have no idea what technologies are possible today. His plea for change in world energy policy might have something to do with this.
You are a sad sad homosexual man. Keep your issues and insecurities to yourself. I have never witnessed so much hate flow from an individual such as yourself. Once you accept that you love the cock (like you do), I think you might find peace with yourself. I am sorry that you were abused by an older man as a child. It was not fair, and it was wrong. Please let go and find peace. Bringing your hate to youtube will not solve anything.
Incidentally, your profile says you're a 32 year old Canadian. Therefore you have no excuse for not knowing that the burden of proof is on the accuser. Nobody was ever under any obligation to disprove the allegations.
The police never even found enough evidence to charge him.
Try knowing what you're talking about before you say anything. In your case that would mean a vow of silence, but that's alright.
Hey greg, go and read some of Clarke's best of instead of rotting your brain in front of the net. It'll probably come in handy for your vocabulary as well.
he came up with the idea for telecommunications in Geostationary orbit... he is the father of modern communications as well as many of the great feats of space travel now...
If it wasn't for speculative sci-fi much of the technology we take for granted today might not be. Many breakthroughs in a great many areas of human knowledge have been inspired by the works of the great authors in the genre.
Reading the trash that has been written in these comments, it becomes sorely evident that most of the denizens of youtube are little more than functional, de-evolving apes with a barely minimal understanding of both language and morals. Indeed retards.
Anyone here have actual proof of the allegations thrown at the late Mr. Clarke?
Arthur C. Clarke did not create this technology, he inspired it.
He was also not a pedophile. If you believe everything The Sunday Mirror says, I do throughly suggest you start learning, as you, of course, have little regard for anything other then people agreeing with you. What a lovely person you must be. Also, if I come back on and find out the only thing you've said in reply are insults instead of ideas, or proof to back up your claims, then I will hold no value by your judgements.
"I want to be remembered most as a writer. One who entertained readers and hopefully stretched their imaginations as well."
Arthur you did it beautifully. I shall never forget reading "The nine billion names of God" and "Travel by wire" when I was nineteen. Your short stories have given so much to those that have dreamed of a better world and an enlightened humanity. Thank-you.
thank you for beeing one of my idols! i haven't shed a tear for a long time, but you´ve made that happen with this message! may you rendezvous with your rama! may your childhood ended...and your ultimate trip began! RIP sir...farewell!
I'll always remember Arthur C. Clarke like a great visionary and writer. Thank you, Mr. Clarke, for your masterpiece "2001; a space odyssey" and Space Odyssey serie!
Rest in Peace-Arthur C Clarke !

A lovely man with a noble vision, Arthur Clarke was a benevolent and generous uncle for all of us.
His great dream, his grand wish, was for humanity to wake up from our primitive impulses, which proved an asset before but are now an onerous and dangerous burden. A way to achieve the enlightenment we are capable of, would be by realizing via irrefutable proof, that life exists elsewhere.
I love his dream. I dream of his dream and have made it my own.
Bless you, Mr Clarke, and good night.

What made him so great was that he reached out. He always wanted to talk, share and inform. I don't think that anybody can replace that sense of openness. Here's to vivid dreams...!

Sir Arthur, it is with some sadness and gratitude that I bid you farewell, may you enjoy your final odyssey, the lone trek into the unknown. May you rendezvous with your own personal Rama, a new place for life amidst the eternal stars. May your name be carved on black obelisks a mile high, for your contribution to the realms of mans mind-space.
Goodnight, sir. Goodnight.

people greg jocka is a gay troll who I think was abused by a man as a young child, if you look at his page he has naked men and body builders , he is very angry and I think that is why he is trolling here with his obsessive allegations against clarke, i feel pity for him.
ProudToBLoud 3 years ago
gregjocka said "you wouldn't know pseudoscience it dropped onto your five-month-old baby and crushed him to death." there seems to be a common thread with you, you are obsessed with peadophillia and now you talking about 5 month old babies, do you have something to confess, maybe we should call the authorities, it seems you have an unhealthy interest in young children.
ProudToBLoud 3 years ago
no no, i didnt say everything that i have said is wrong, and I was not referring to the peado allegations of arthur c clarke, unlike you I do not believe to possess absolute truth, you profess to have this truth of arthur clarkes activities but yet you provide no evidence for your allegations, I think you are just a troll trying to wind people up.
ProudToBLoud 3 years ago
your logic is insane, what you are doing is using a non sequitur, he was implying because peadophiles have gone free therefore arthur c clarke is guilty, that is called a non sequitur and no evidence has been provided that arthur clarke was a peado, if you make allegations then you should back them up with evidence, he was an alleged peado and he was cleared, therefore they were unproven allegations, that does not mean he was innocent, you are calling someone peado but you provide no evidence.

Greg,
I am truly sorry for what that man did to you as a child. It is profoundly sad. However, focusing your anger on Clarke after his death is pointless and sad. I wish you peace and happiness. Keep your chin up buddy, no-body is perfect.
Best Regards.

There are things that Sir Arthur C. Clarke, knew that he probably should not have known. He was involved with some high level technology. I am sure that "they" used this form of slander to help to control him. It was probably more of a warning. You have no idea what technologies are possible today. His plea for change in world energy policy might have something to do with this.

Greg Jock,
You are a sad sad homosexual man. Keep your issues and insecurities to yourself. I have never witnessed so much hate flow from an individual such as yourself. Once you accept that you love the cock (like you do), I think you might find peace with yourself. I am sorry that you were abused by an older man as a child. It was not fair, and it was wrong. Please let go and find peace. Bringing your hate to youtube will not solve anything.
clevername333 3 years ago
Incidentally, your profile says you're a 32 year old Canadian. Therefore you have no excuse for not knowing that the burden of proof is on the accuser. Nobody was ever under any obligation to disprove the allegations.
The police never even found enough evidence to charge him.
Try knowing what you're talking about before you say anything. In your case that would mean a vow of silence, but that's alright.

Hey greg, go and read some of Clarke's best of instead of rotting your brain in front of the net. It'll probably come in handy for your vocabulary as well.

If it wasn't for speculative sci-fi much of the technology we take for granted today might not be. Many breakthroughs in a great many areas of human knowledge have been inspired by the works of the great authors in the genre.

Reading the trash that has been written in these comments, it becomes sorely evident that most of the denizens of youtube are little more than functional, de-evolving apes with a barely minimal understanding of both language and morals. Indeed retards.
Anyone here have actual proof of the allegations thrown at the late Mr. Clarke?
brokenclavicle 3 years ago 7
The allegations were investigated and found to be completely without merit.
quasarsphere 3 years ago
Arthur C. Clarke did not create this technology, he inspired it.
He was also not a pedophile. If you believe everything The Sunday Mirror says, I do throughly suggest you start learning, as you, of course, have little regard for anything other then people agreeing with you. What a lovely person you must be. Also, if I come back on and find out the only thing you've said in reply are insults instead of ideas, or proof to back up your claims, then I will hold no value by your judgements.
