Actually there is. If you view all data as statistical probability, data from the past is simply a 1.0 possibility of occurring, and future data is less than 1.0. We can easily see this by looking at weather forecasting, as a common example which both exemplifies the possibility and serves as an example of why it’s not perfect.
