Story
Ever since the dawn of human civilisation, we have been trying to make predictions about what's in store for us. We do this on a personal level, so that we can get on with our lives efficiently (should I hang my laundry out to dry, or will it rain?). But we also have to predict on a much larger scale, often for the good of our broader society (how can we spot economic downturns or prevent terrorist attacks?). For just as long, we have been getting it wrong.

Story
Ist es wahrscheinlicher, dass du in einer Bäckerei arbeitest, wenn dein Nachname Bäcker lautet? Wie kannst du hundertprozentig sicher sein, dass du eine Wette gewinnst? Warum blieben so viele Einwohner von Pompeji an Ort und Stelle, als der Vesuv ausbrach? Wie kann ein Atomkrieg verhindert werden? Seit Beginn der Menschheit versuchen wir, vorherzusagen, was die Welt für uns bereithält. Genauso lange liegen wir damit aber auch schon falsch. Von religiösen Orakeln über Wettervorhersagen bis zur Politik – wir sind ständig mit mangelhaften Prognosen konfrontiert.
