I think Physics is has more constant variables than Meteorology.
That's a very perspicacious statement.
The comet landing was an incredible feat and a milestone for human achievement. Yet, the physics involved is mostly linear - they used the earth's gravity (orbited thrice) AND that of Mars to slingshot the probe to achieve the relative velocity of the comet - it has to match the speed of the comet which was traveling incredibly fast - to land on it.
The Physics can be calculated EXACTLY to do such a thing.
With weather systems - the entire thing is highly non-linear and extremely complex even for the most advanced supercomputers that exist.
That is why predicting the weather accurately is very very hard.

You would think the greater prevalence of the internet in our daily lives, now hitting that 2 decade mark, would have long ago seen the end of such old and stupid questions....but alas, I fear it has only created a greater number of even dumber questions.

Over the last 10 years or so, this line has been said many times by many people in many ways.
Ignorance is epidemic.
I don't mind, I miss midwest wintersIt would be hilarious to have the Buffalo area weather hit Dallas. 24-30" of snow in parts of the region.
You do know it was Europe that landed a probe on a comet not the U.S.?
Are there consequences for predicting the weather wrong for a TV station?
Probably the best gig out there.
