This has since been generalized into the prediction market idea which the Pentagon proposed to operate as part of Total Information Awareness ; however, this proved controversial as it would theoretically let assassins predict and then benefit from their predictions, which they would cause to come true.

" His prediction eventually proved true when Huysmans converted to Catholicism in the 1890s.

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.
