Virtualization and Recreation of Time and Space through Data Processing

From PDI

Utilizing existing and future metadata, collected from a number of disparate sources and processed through a data filter, computers will be able to four-dimensionally recreate past events and model potential future occurrences.

If you were to collect enough data from the internet (or other networks) and extract dates and geo-tags, you could create a model of everything that has ever been written about, photographed, recorded, or video taped. The model could be in 3D, or could simulate 3D, and could be navigated both spatially and temporally. This information could allow you to not only predict past events for which records are missing, but also potentially extrapolate future events with a high degree of certainly. Using nothing more than the data that already exists on the internet, the most comprehensive model of the world, human history, geography, and events could be constructed.
