Just trying to think critically. What is the theory that could link the Qposts about "WATCH(ing) the water" from 3 years ago to something that's so complicated and hard to predict reliably as weather events past a couple days today?
Weather predictions are made on simulations based on "the current weather" and "past years weather data", introducing a bias making it less likely to predict such a storm of catastrophic events.
I've worked for a research center which tries to predict forest fire spread based on "current weather" and "terrain type". They have moved on from the project since, and went into building new weather prediction methods, using simulations and heuristics and whatnot (I don't have details).
Suffice it to say this is very high-level stuff, applying physics to large masses of air at different pressures and speeds (wind), taking into account all parameters like humidity and temperature, to an uneven land with trees and houses and whatever, so never is the starting data set large enough to model reality and predict the future reality... It's extreme.
That sounds awesome, it's entirely possible to predict weather with 100% precision but you'd need to be a super advanced race at that point, you would need to calculate the physics of individual leaves on trees and their density's and so on, so fascinating. I'm glad to hear they are advancing such things.
you would also have to calculate people breathing using heaters, their movements ect. so fun to think about, i guess those toys are only meant for God xD
