Researchers who use artificial
intelligence methods are never able to include every
tiny detail of the physics in their equations. There is
inherent uncertainty in both the measurements and the
equations. But looking at how the environment has
previously changed will help us predict how it will
change the next time, even without modeling all the
details. We can use the patterns we recognize, whether
they are cold fronts and warm fronts or clustering in
some phase space to tell us what typically happens
in such a situation.
