In 1963, Gábor Danesh, who later won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in holography [Gábor Danesh - Wikipedia https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9C%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BB%E 3%83%87%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8D%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A5] wrote the book “Inventing the Future”

We are still masters of our own destiny. Rational thought cannot predict the future, even with the help of every conceivable electronic calculator. All rational thought can do is draw a map of the probability space that is different tomorrow when one of an infinite number of possible states will be realized from the probability space that is currently appearing. Through technological and social inventions, this probability space is constantly expanding. The future is unpredictable. but [The future can be invented. Human society exists because of man’s ability to invent. The mental process of invention remains a mystery. It is rational but not logical, i.e., not deductive.
