Pop Goes the Big Bang

The “Axis of Evil” and related controversy surrounding the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) has focused on the quadrupole and octopole and their rotations. This paper shows how, from the perspective of Vedic Physics, scientists have misinterpreted data on the quadrupole and this had led to the controversy surrounding the CMB, which, by the way, is actually the e logarithm of 2.718...the state ...

Pop Goes the Big Bang III

In the late 1990s, observations of Type IA supernovae led to the astounding discovery that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. The explanation for this anomalous acceleration has been one of the great problems in physics since that discovery. In this article we propose cosmological models that can explain the cosmic acceleration without introducing a cosmological constant into th...

Big Data Quality: From Content to Context

Over the last 20 years, and particularly with the advent of Big Data and analytics, the research area around Data and Information Quality (DIQ) is still a fast growing research area. There are many views and streams in DIQ research, generally aiming at improving the effectiveness of decision making in organizations. Although there are a lot of researches aimed at clarifying the role of BIG data...

Big Data: Understanding Big Data

Steve Jobs, one of the greatest visionaries of our time was quoted in 1996 saying “a lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them”[38] indicating he advocated products to be developed based on human intuition rather than research. With the advancements of mobile devices, social networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) enormous amounts of complex data, both structure...
