Abstract: Anticipating the future is a fundamental human desire which draws on past experiences. Predictions make us feel protected from the unexpected, they drive science, and they shape our lifestyles. The 2023 Branco Weiss Lecture will explore the notion of predictability, and how science and society handle unpredictability. Join us on an (un)predictable journey through clouds and climate, artificial intelligence, history of religion and the control of mechanical and quantum systems.
Speakers: Matteo Fadel, Vincent Fortuin, Franziska Glassmeier, Michael Muehlebach, and Aurore Schwab
