Entropy.

"overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out."

Arthur C. Clarke's star has gone out.

Farewell, old friend.

My absolute favorite Clarke story - The 9 Billion Names of God.

Therefore, now is the time at Castle Argghhh! when we dance: In Memoriam of Sir Arthur C. Clarke, futurist, most excellent SciFi author, and Flight Lieutenant, Royal Air Force.

"‘It’s nothing as trivial as that’."

Yeah, that was the best Clarke story ever.
 
I enjoyed everything of his I ever read, but the one that had the most impact on me was "Childhood's End". Blew my mind at the time. He will be missed - but his work still inspires.
 
Also my favourite of his stories.
