A new scientific study shows that humans may have some ability to predict the future. In particular, “participants correctly identified the future position of erotic pictures.” It’s long been regarded as pseudo-science or simple lore, but precognition – that is, the ability to not just predict but to actually perceive the future – is getting [...]
Read More →A computer that can predict hurricanes up to ten years in advance
Currently, we’re only able to predict the next year in hurricanes with any accuracy. But a new system that incorporates 35 years worth of hurricane data has found patterns that could predict hurricanes a decade in advance. UK researcher Doug Smith used a computer model known as DePreSys, which is currently used to make general [...]
