    Nostradamus was a French physician, astrologer, and prophet in the sixteenth century. He is well known for his work as an astrologer and the many predictions he made during his lifetime. Nostradamus made many predictions throughout his life that many believe are true predictions of the future.

Others, however, argue that Nostradamus’ vague predictions cannot be considered true prophecies of the future. In December 1503, Michel de Nostradame was born to Reyniere de St-Remy and Jaume de Nostradame. He was born in Saint-Remy-de-Provence in southern…

    Nate Silver’s introduction to The Signal and the Noise offers up an intuitive definition of the split between prediction and forecast. Prediction is judgemental and accounts for future changes and opinions, whereas forecast is pure scientific fact and interpretation of the past events.
