understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
At the beginning of the nineties, one day after school I was reading novel Dune by Frank Herbert. Then I got wish to play newly acquired video game Dune. After couple hours of playing, I left home, and on the street met a friend who said that he is hurrying home because David Lunch’s movie Dune (from 1984) is due to start in 15 minutes on some local TV station. We went to his apartment , and watched the movie together. After 2+ hours (it was getting late) I returned to my home. And just before sleeping I turned on the radio to listen my favourite radio station . They aired “To Tame a Land” by Iron Maiden. A song about Dune –planet Arakis.
