The 11th of April 1954.
According to the British newspaper The Telegrapha software identified that this date was the one that had the least relevant news since 1900. The program, called True Knowledge, created by researcher William Tunstall-Pedoe, from the University of Cambridge, reached this conclusion after scanning more than 300 million facts involving people, places and events.
With the help of complex algorithms, it was then possible to determine the most boring day in recent history. No one known died, nor was anyone born who would become important, for example. To give you an idea, the most prominent news of the day in Telegraph were the arrival of the US Secretary of State in London and the failure of a surrender plan in Kenya. Only.
