Evidence & sources

Readable does not mean unverifiable

The public site explains the research in plain language. That simplification must not strengthen the scientific claims. This page links back to the versioned foundations, sources, and reporting rules.

How the website reports a case

Every public case answers the same six questions, preserves the exact claim, date, scope, comparator, and independent findings, and links its primary source and P3 basis. New evidence creates a new run rather than rewriting the earlier time-indexed record.

GW150914 · publication provenance

Eight source PDFs are byte-sealed

The complete frozen E-lineage used by the public GW150914 record was locally SHA-256 sealed before deployment. Twelve recorded page references were re-verified on those sealed files. R01 is identified truthfully as the APS/PRL publisher PDF published on 11 February 2016; no byte-equivalence to arXiv:1602.03837v1 is asserted. R04/AC-01 is normalized to PDF page 6 (1-based; viewer index 5). Later debate remains post-t_R audit context and did not enter either 2016 verdict.

GWB-T2 / GWB-T3 · evidence provenance

The Timescape / Pantheon+ evidence corpus is byte-sealed

The public GWB-T2 continuity record is backed by an 11-PDF evidence corpus frozen on 31 August 2026. The public seal lists the authoritative container SHA-256 and the SHA-256, byte size and page count of every source PDF. Later evidence remains separately identified as GWB-T3-Lane and GWB-T3-Seifert.
