Contrary to popular opinion, libertarian socialism has not traditionally been a utopian movement, tending to avoid dense theoretical analysis or prediction of what a future society would or should look like.

Quantum mechanics has superseded classical mechanics at the foundational level and is indispensable for the explanation and prediction of processes at molecular and ( sub ) atomic level.

In particular, the field has made great advances in the understanding of the relationship between the atomic-scale structure of minerals and their function ; in nature, prominent examples would be accurate measurement and prediction of the elastic properties of minerals, which has led to new insight into seismological behaviour of rocks and depth-related discontinuities in seismograms of the Earth's mantle.

A great deal of effort has been devoted to developing analogies among these three transport processes so as to allow prediction of one from any of the others.

When Pluto was discovered 19 years later, its mean distance of 39. 48 AU and orbital period of 248 Earth years were close to Ketakar's prediction ( Pluto in fact has a 2: 3 resonance with Neptune ).

This prediction meanwhile has proved to be true in a variety of fields.

Following the success of QuakeWorld, client-side prediction has become a standard feature of nearly all real-time online games.

Since the tertiary structure of proteins is an important problem in biochemistry, and since structure determination is relatively difficult, protein structure prediction has been a long-standing problem.

:: An ethical law has the nature not of a scientific law but of a scientific prediction: and the latter is always merely probable, although the probability may be very great .”

LP filtering also has disadvantages in that signals with a large number of constituent frequencies may exceed the number of frequencies that can be represented by the linear prediction filter.

* The prediction that time runs slower at lower potentials has been confirmed by the Pound – Rebka experiment, the Hafele – Keating experiment, and the GPS.

This discrepancy has been called " the worst theoretical prediction in the history of physics!

His prediction has proven to be uncannily accurate, in part because the law is now used in the semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for research and development.

This data has been used to create a random forest model for melting point prediction which is now available as a free to use webservice.

In modern HF communications, ALE has largely replaced HF prediction charts, propagation beacons, chirp sounders, propagation prediction software, and traditional radio operator educated guesswork.

" Since the end of World War II, this prediction has held.

In science, a prediction is a rigorous, often quantitative, statement, forecasting what will happen under specific conditions ; for example, if an apple falls from a tree it will be attracted towards the center of the earth by gravity with a specified and constant acceleration.

More recently on May 21, 2011, his third prediction attracted worldwide media interest.

It has attracted considerable attention in recent years, as many studies have suggested that the phasic activity of dopamine neurons in mesostriatal DA projections in the midbrain encodes for the type of prediction error detailed in the model.

The usefulness of the VAN method for prediction of earthquakes has been a matter of debate.

Poindexter faced criticism from the media and some politicians about the Policy Analysis Market project, a theoretical prediction market that would have rewarded participants for accurately predicting geopolitical trends in the Middle East.

He took some criticism for publicizing this prediction right when movie companies were publicizing films like " Deep Impact " ( see also Science by press conference ).

They furthermore admitted having used suggestive language by saying “ e understand how the language in the article could lead the reader to think the research was a prediction, but it is not .”, The company's decision to stand by the findings was met with additional criticism.

Beyond a few million kilometers from the Earth, but still in the region of the Earth's orbit, a prediction of the flux of dust is even more unreliable.

* Analyzing pollen found in fossils and sediment from thousands or millions of years ago allows reconstruction of past climates and the prediction of future ones.

These include various predictions of the downfall of the northern kingdom, the equivalent prediction of the downfall of Judah following the reign of Manasseh, the extension of Josiah's reforms in accordance with the laws of Deuteronomy, and the revision of the narrative from Jeremiah concerning Judah's last days.

Shortly after, in 1869, Irish chemist Thomas Andrews studied the phase transition from a liquid to a gas and coined the term critical point to describe the instant at which a gas and a liquid were indistinguishable as phases, and Dutch physicist Johannes van der Waals supplied the theoretical framework which allowed the prediction of critical behavior based on measurements at much higher temperatures.

This is interpreted as evidence in favor of Einstein's prediction that gravity would cause deviations from Euclidean geometry.

ECMWF uses the computer modelling technique of numerical weather prediction ( NWP ) to forecast the weather from its present measured state.

More recently, genome-wide screens to identify imprinted genes have used differential expression of mRNAs from control fetuses and parthenogenetic or androgenetic fetuses hybridized to expression arrays, allele-specific gene expression using SNP genotyping arrays, transcriptome sequencing, and in silico prediction pipelines.

However, the most important experiment supporting Fresnel's theory, was Fizeau's 1851 experimental confirmation of Fresnel's 1818 prediction that a medium with refractive index n moving with a velocity v would increase the speed of light traveling through the medium in the same direction as v from c / n to:

The elution of Md just before Fm in the elution sequence of the trivalent actinides from the cation-exchange resin column, confirmed this prediction.

It also results in a prediction that the speed of light can vary from one reference frame to another.

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.

The word oracle comes from the Latin verb ōrāre " to speak " and properly refers to the priest or priestess uttering the prediction.

The related but distinct idea of ' exogenesis ' () is a more limited hypothesis that proposes life on Earth was transferred from elsewhere in the Universe but makes no prediction about how widespread it is.

Instead, it makes a prediction using a probability distribution ; that is, it describes the probability of obtaining the possible outcomes from measuring an observable.

With the help of client-side prediction, which allowed players to see their own movement immediately without waiting for a response from the server, QuakeWorld network code allowed players with high-latency connections to control their character's movement almost as precisely as when playing in single-player mode.

The tradeoff to client-side prediction was that sometimes other players or objects would no longer be quite where they had appeared to be, or, in extreme cases, that the player would be pulled back to a previous position when the client received a late reply from the server which overrode movement the client had already previewed ; this was known as " warping ".

These conclusions are derived from the studies conducted by Jay Hall on a number of laboratory-based group ranking and prediction tasks.
