Is it reading myself to sleep if I have to fight to stay awake?

Of his three laws, which do you find the most intriguing or insightful?

1. 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.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

What's an example of how you can apply the second law, or how it's already been applied?
