Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge.

I don't think of myself predicting things. I'm expressing possibilities. Things that could happen. To a large extent it's a question of how badly people want them to.

Physics tells us observations can't be predicted absolutely. Rather, there's a range of possible observations each with a different probability.

But to us, probability is the very guide of life.

Human nature is not amenable to prediction based on the trends or tendencies prevailing at the time. It is amenable to startling creativity of the kind practiced by great artists, directors, writers, musicians, actors, who know how to touch a chord in humans everywhere.

It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.

Statisticians tell us that people underestimate the sheer number of coincidences that are bound to happen in a world governed by chance.

We know from chaos theory that even if you had a perfect model of the world, you'd need infinite precision in order to predict future events. With sociopolitical or economic phenomena, we don't have anything like that.
