As the girls wonder what Tad Hamilton — the star of the film — is doing at that moment, their prediction of praying is proven false as the scene cuts to Tad — described in the next scene by his agent —" drinking, driving, smoking, leering and groping all at the same time ".

In his book about the history of the World Series, historian Lee Allen made the point that it was the last " pure " World Series, in the sense that divisional play would raise the possibility that the team with the best record from one or both leagues might not get into the Series, which has proven to be an accurate prediction ( both teams in 2006, for example ).

This prediction has proven false, with hardly any discussion about the Papers ( and the known Anti-Federalist Papers ) continuing to this day.

The peace agreement Hector negotiates with the visiting Greek commander Ulysses, is no match for Demokos's deliberate lies, and at the end of the play, the seer Cassandra's cynical prediction that war cannot be avoided has been proven right.

Euan MacKie, recognizing that Thom's theories needed to be tested, excavated at the Kintraw standing stone site in Argyllshire in 1970 and 1971 to check whether the latter's prediction of an observation platform on the hill slope above the stone was correct.

Followers of the purported psychic Edgar Cayce take his prediction that evidence of Atlantis would be found in 1968 as referring to the discovery of the Bimini Road.

Whereas Macbeth places his hope in the prediction that he will be king, Banquo argues that evil only offers gifts that lead to destruction.

There is a close connection between machine learning and compression: a system that predicts the posterior probabilities of a sequence given its entire history can be used for optimal data compression ( by using arithmetic coding on the output distribution ), while an optimal compressor can be used for prediction ( by finding the symbol that compresses best, given the previous history ).

Their tests involved tunneling electrons, where the group argued a relativistic prediction for tunneling time should be 500-600 attoseconds ( an attosecond is one quintillionth ( 10 < sup >− 18 </ sup >) of a second ).

Matching the theory's prediction to observational results for planetary orbits ( or, equivalently, assuring that the weak-gravity, low-speed limit is Newtonian mechanics ), the proportionality constant can be fixed as κ = 8πG / c < sup > 4 </ sup >, with G the gravitational constant and c the speed of light.

After the prediction became true he was released by Vespasian who considered his gift of prophecy to be divine.

In digital signal processing, linear prediction is often called linear predictive coding ( LPC ) and can thus be viewed as a subset of filter theory.

In system analysis ( a subfield of mathematics ), linear prediction can be viewed as a part of mathematical modelling or optimization.

Moreover, a useful economic theory should be judged not by its descriptive realism but by its simplicity and fruitfulness as an engine of prediction.

He described therein how small terms in the prognostic fluid dynamics equations governing atmospheric flow could be neglected, and a finite differencing scheme in time and space could be devised, to allow numerical prediction solutions to be found.

# Structured prediction: When the desired output value is a complex object, such as a parse tree or a labeled graph, then standard methods must be extended.

In 1992 one commentator who claimed to be able to contact Nostradamus under hypnosis even had him ' interpreting ' his own verse X. 6 ( a prediction specifically about floods in southern France around the city of Nîmes and people taking refuge in its collosse, or Colosseum, a Roman amphitheatre now known as the Arènes ) as a prediction of an undated attack on the Pentagon, despite the historical seer's clear statement in his dedicatory letter to King Henri II that his prophecies were about Europe, North Africa and part of Asia Minor.

Because the discrepancy is not fully explained, uncertainty of our prediction of UT ( rotation angle of the Earth ) may be as large as the difference between these values: 11 s / cy < sup > 2 </ sup >.

The particles were never observed to rise above 6 km and when combined with scavenging by clouds gave the smoke a short residency time in the atmosphere and localized its effects ; Professor Carl Sagan of the Turco, Toon, Ackerman, Pollack, Sagan ( TTAPS ) study hypothesized in January 1991 that enough smoke from the fires " might get so high as to disrupt agriculture in much of South Asia ...." Sagan later conceded in his book The Demon-Haunted World that this prediction did not turn out to be correct: " it was pitch black at noon and temperatures dropped 4 °– 6 ° C over the Persian Gulf, but not much smoke reached stratospheric altitudes and Asia was spared.
