Question
Hi,
How did the late Paul the Octopus predicted perfectly world cup? What does science say about him?
If the question doesn't relate to you, please guide me in which section it should be asked.
Thanks.
How did he do it? He didn't. Somebody arbitrarily interpreted his activity as a prediction and used an octopus as a tourist attraction What does science say. It is a lot of fun but there is no scientific evidence that any animals including people can predict the future. It was an ocean version of the groundhog.
