I foretell the future.

It's always difficult to predict, especially about the future.

The future's not ours to see

The future's not ours to see...

Can't put me finger on what lies in store

And if we can predict, then we can engineer the future.

How can you predict the future? That's really hard.

I see a fight.

So since we can't predict the future, we want to spend a lot of our time trying to create that future.

Science has the power to predict the future in many cases now.

It's analyzing trends. It's predicting the future.

It's really not that hard to make reasonable predictions about where a car's going to be in the near future.

RCA started this whole thing off, and said, you know, televisions are the future, not computers.

And you'll hear people say, well, we can't predict the future.

So that really means I have to make predictions of the future.

And we predicted what would happen, and we got it all wrong.

And I come now, into projections, but I have to stop at the door of Lehman Brothers there, you know, because that's where the projections are not valid any longer.

I want to be very clear here. I'm not projecting some past data into the future.

What I'm going to try to do is explain to you quickly how to predict, and illustrate it with some predictions about what Iran is going to do in the next couple of years.

And with computation and algorithms and predictive models, we will be able to see the future.

The number of major collisions predicted by several models (EVOLVE, CHAIN, CHAINEE and IDES) are presented as envelopes of predictions in figure VII. The number of fragments generated by future sources is less consistently predicted for small fragments.

None of us can predict the future, but we do know one thing about it and that's that it ain't gonna go according to plan.

Bruce Bueno de Mesquita predicts Iran's future

Total programme expenditures from regular resources, projected in the present plan, are based on forecasts of future regular resources income.

Projections indicate that extreme weather events will become more common in the future.

As regards currency fluctuations and inflation projections, United Nations past rates were used in the outline and no attempt was made to predict these for the future.

Furthermore, it is recommended that future projections be provided for the forestry sector.

Overall, even though total revenues for 2004 exceeded budget projections by over 100 million, external donor support did not meet projections.

This is more or less what we saw last year, and this is how it will go on into the future.

I cannot imagine the future

In a sense, the group of betters at the racetrack is forecasting the future, in probabilistic terms.

And I've always been nervous about the term futurist, because you seem doomed to failure because you can't really predict it.

Furthermore, major assumptions must be made in applying these models to predict the future environment.

They carried out sensitivity analyses by projecting high and low emission scenarios on future sea level changes and predicted impacts on coastal zones and resources.

And in fact, scientists were originally saying sea ice is going to disappear in the next hundred years, then they said 50 years.

So, this is part of the ability that we have, to try to stretch our imagination, in terms of what we may find in the future.

29. At a minimum, projections would be made of future emissions and removals of the following greenhouse gases CO2, CH4, N2O, PFCs, HFCs and SF6.

Judge, then, if prophecies predict the future.

Do you want me to tell your fortune?

In Kurzweilian terms this is gloomy.

You can imagine, in the future, as we develop this kind of technology, a keyboard that kind of automatically drifts as your hand moves away, and really intelligently anticipates which key you're trying to stroke with your hands.

Alan Kay is famous for saying the best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Two diametrically opposed scenarios exist for what will happen to global real interest rates over the next generation.

The future, as we know it, is very unpredictable.

Very dumb approach simply compartmentalize. Put those things whose evolution we could predict and I don't mean that we could say whatever would actually happen in the future, but we have some certainty of the spectrum of whatever would happen in the future put those in boxes designed specifically for it, and put the things that we can't predict on the rooftops.
