Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The absurd consequences of neglecting structure but using the concept of order just the same are evident if one examines the present terminology of information theory.
Physics tells us observations can't be predicted absolutely. Rather, there's a range of possible observations each with a different probability.
Complex, statistically improbable things are by their nature more difficult to explain than simple, statistically probable things.
Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.
But I don't think I have any particular talent for prediction, because when you have three or four elements in hand, you don't have to be a genius to reach certain conclusions.
The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.
It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
The key to making a good forecast is not in limiting yourself to quantitative information.
It is certain because it is impossible.
Mathematicians have tried in vain to this day to discover some order in the sequence of prime numbers, and we have reason to believe that it is a mystery into which the human mind will never penetrate.
