The future has been a mystery for as long as mankind has been able to question it. Psychics and fortunetellers have made money predicting future events for thousands of years.

Whether you believe that spirits, gods, or some other force can reveal the future or not, you might be interested to know that at least one group is attempting to predict the future with math.
Recorded Future is a Boston area company that attempts to predict the future using patterns, statistics, and probability. Their team is made up of people from various fields, such as Computer Science, Linguistics, Engineering, and Technical Business.
