Dirty Data

Data quality is an enormous and underestimated problem at just about every company I talk to:

Dirty data will cost businesses money and time over the next two years with more than 25 per cent of all critical information used by Fortune 1000 companies having flaws, according to analyst Gartner.

Speed of Light Exceeded?

File this one under, well, wow!

Scientists have finally exceeded the speed of light, causing a light pulse to travel hundreds of times faster than normal. It raced so fast the pulse exited a specially-prepared chamber before it even finished entering it...

The scientific statement "nothing with mass can travel faster than the speed of light" is an entirely different belief, one that has yet to be proven wrong. The NEC experiment caused a pulse of light, a group of waves with no mass, to go faster than light.
