Weather Forecasting
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_forecasting
"The chaotic nature of the atmosphere, the massive computational power required to solve the equations that describe the atmosphere, error involved in measuring the initial conditions, and an incomplete understanding of atmospheric processes mean that forecasts become less accurate as the difference in current time and the time for which the forecast is being made (the range of the forecast) increases."
- how analogous is that to investing? if it's analogous, how should that affect investors?
