Throughout history, we will find that people are eager to know what will happen in the future  From primitive myths, religious stories to folk legends, there are many contents about prediction  A common feature of these predictions is mystery-knowing what it is but not why  In the history of natural development, scientists have also made predictions many times, and their methods are very different from those of mysticism  For example, in the early days of ancient Greek civilization, the philosopher Fengles traveled to Babylon, learned the periodic law of solar and lunar eclipses and successfully predicted a solar eclipse  This prediction is based on hundreds of years of astronomical observations and laws of Babylonian astronomers, which anyone can do as long as they study hard
There are many such successful predictions of solar and lunar eclipses in ancient China
Ancient scientific prediction is based on the understanding of the laws of nature.
