>You cant use history to predict the future. I mean this statement is somewhat false. If I show you a picture of a cup from 100 ms ago and it's in midair probability favors that the cup will be on it's way to the ground to its demise. Statistically this will be true. History is filled with analogous times where by watching the present you can make predictions far better than flipping a coin.
