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.

However, the manner of the increase was not experimentally determined until 1914 when Robert Andrews Millikan showed that Einstein's prediction was correct.

Hubert A. Newton's more thorough historical work led to a refined prediction of 1866, which proved to be correct.

However, the original discussion by Nozick says only that the Predictor's predictions are " almost certainly " correct, and also specifies that " what you actually decide to do is not part of the explanation of why he made the prediction he made ".

This prediction turned out to be partially correct: several tubes burned out almost every day, leaving it nonfunctional about half the time.

Baldwin's prediction was correct, and despite public defenses of Styron by leading artists of the time, figures such as Baldwin and Ralph Ellison, numerous other black critics reviled Styron ’ s portrayal of Turner as racist stereotyping.

However, Gold received little credit for his correct prediction, and was even criticized for his original prediction of a deep layer of lunar dust.

The displacement current is justified today because it serves several requirements of an electromagnetic theory: correct prediction of magnetic fields in regions where no free current flows ; prediction of wave propagation of electromagnetic fields ; and conservation of electric charge in cases where charge density is time-varying.

A processor with an implementation of branch prediction that usually makes correct predictions can minimize the performance penalty from branching.

* 1948-First correct tornado prediction by Robert C. Miller and E. J. Fawbush for tornado in Oklahoma.

Predictability is the degree to which a correct prediction or forecast of a system's state can be made either qualitatively or quantitatively.

This second prediction would be frequently violated in the real world, since it is often true that a given nonequilibrium system was at an even lower entropy in the past ( although the prediction would be correct if the nonequilibrium state were the result of a random fluctuation in entropy in an isolated system that had previously been at equilibrium-in this case, if you happen to observe the system in a lower-entropy state, it is most likely that you are seeing the minimum of the random dip in entropy, in which case entropy would be higher on either side of this minimum ).

When jump prediction is not correct ROR gets deleted and reservation stations get re-initialised.

When this methodology is used, a participant is only credited a correct prediction for guessing both the number and suit of the card.

Otherwise, de novo protein structure prediction must be applied, which is much less reliable but can sometimes yield models with the correct fold.
