Research findings, viral studies, and scientific claims under the lens.
Claim:
Core properties invoked in physicalist or materialist metaphysics, including mass, time, momentum, and color, cannot be ontologically reduced to an underlying substrate that would count as traditionally physical under Newtonian or…
MOSTLY BS
Claim:
In set theory without the axiom of choice but assuming the Boolean prime ideal theorem, every product of nonempty compact Hausdorff spaces is nonempty.
NOT BS
Claim:
The Boolean prime ideal theorem is equivalent, in Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory without the axiom of choice, to Tychonoff's theorem for compact Hausdorff spaces.
NOT BS
Claim:
The abc conjecture in number theory is true.
TOTAL BS
Claim:
Standard univariate linear models analyze traits separately and can fail to detect multivariate changes in body shape or somatic condition, including changes in mass-to-girth ratios.
HARDLY BS
Claim:
Every Robbins algebra is a Boolean algebra.
NOT BS
Claim:
Approximately 2% of the global population has green eyes.
HARDLY BS
Claim:
Scientists warned that there is a secret base on the Moon after a giant fleet of UFOs was spotted on the Moon's surface, as reported by the Daily Mail.
HARDLY BS
Claim:
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth's land surface.
NOT BS
Claim:
Dolphins evolved from terrestrial (land-dwelling) mammals whose ancestors later returned to living in the water.
NOT BS
Claim:
Sodium silicate solution (water glass), used in glass bonding, can help tin-based solder (solder wire or solder paste) bond during soldering because high temperature increases molecular motion and directly lowers the surface tension of tin.
MOSTLY BS
Claim:
A new data center in Utah will release waste heat and energy into the atmosphere each day equivalent to the energy of 23 atomic bombs.
HARDLY BS
Claim:
An adult Tyrannosaurus rex needed to eat about 700 kilograms of meat per day to avoid starvation.
TOTAL BS
Claim:
Fairbairn (1997) is a widely cited methodological reference for measuring sexual size dimorphism.
NOT BS
Claim:
The publication by Lovich and Gibbons from 1992 is the best reference for analyzing sexual size dimorphism.
MOSTLY BS
Claim:
Station-based observations from the Kgalagadi/Kalahari Gemsbok National Park area show that the mean annual maximum temperature in the Kgalagadi region increased by about 0.039°C per year (about 1.6°C over 40 years).
HARDLY BS
Claim:
As prey biomass declines with vegetation productivity and thermal load increases, the energetic cost of maintaining a large body mass in a low-resource environment increases.
HARDLY BS
Claim:
Thermal selection and sexual selection can act in opposite directions in shaping organismal phenotypes.
NOT BS
Claim:
In males living in the Kalahari environment, elevated circulating testosterone indicates that a sexual-selection-related physiological axis remains active in the population despite thermal stressors.
TOTAL BS
Claim:
A commonly circulated visualization of the joint wavefunction of two entangled photons resembles the yin-yang symbol.
HARDLY BS
No checks match that verdict.
