What is Prediction?
A '''prediction''' is a statement that someone makes about what they think is going to happen. It is often very helpful to know what is going to happen to help prepare for these [[future]] [[event]]s. Predictions are based on the [[idea]] that two beginning [[position]]s that are like each other will have [[similar]] results. By watching something happen, it is possible to predict what will happen if something similar happens. Predictions are given by [[science]] or fortune tellers or [[horoscope]]s. The most common [[example]] of a prediction is the [[weather forecast]]. Studying how weather happens lets people predict what the weather will be by looking at what is currently happening. This is helpful because by knowing that it is going to [[rain]], a person can wear the right [[clothing|clothes]] for it. [[Nostradamus]] has made many predictions about the future. == Related pages == *[[Forecasting]] *[[Hypothesis]] {{stub}} [[Category:Future events]]
