Horizon: The Age of Big Data

00:00:08 In Los Angeles, a remarkable experiment is under way.

00:03:08 where we need to do our police work

00:05:23 It represents a treasure trove of potential information

00:08:07 What you see is that after a crime occurs, there's an elevated risk

00:10:49 actually self-excites the possibility of future crimes.

00:14:08 When they reach their assigned hotspot

00:16:37 Professor Phil Beales is a geneticist

00:19:06 the more hidden patterns he discovered.

00:21:40 ..because they know it's difficult for him.

00:23:52 Data is becoming a powerful commodity.

00:26:24 but the prevailing wisdom was that this was an impossible task.

00:28:42 It reminds me of Bill Gates

00:30:48 not just take decisions on the basis of human feelings

00:33:22 The patterns in the data are constantly shifting and changing.

00:35:59 was actually the math.

00:38:47 and it would take you hundreds of years

00:41:05 at least two people in the lander and one person in orbit

00:43:26 and, you know, potentially more annoying.

00:46:01 and if they find signals of abnormal behaviour

00:48:37 This is a huge discovery.

00:50:55 We have Scorpio right in ascendance above us.

00:53:38 and as you can see, it's the road to nowhere, really.

00:55:50 bringing data, siphoning back into the Karoo

28:00:00 across the world.
