Science & anomalies
Browse 13 source-linked records about science & anomalies, with evidence labels, original sources and limitations.
Historical artifacts, claims and scientific context retain their own labels. Inclusion in this collection does not establish a claim as true.
- science misinterpretation
ANITA as proof of a backward-time universe
Anomalous observations did not establish this conclusion.
- optical-phenomenon interpretation
Antarctic sunlight reflects off a solid firmament
Teyit identified ice halos and sundogs, not evidence of a solid dome.
- anomaly interpretation
Bloop as an unknown giant animal
NOAA identifies an Antarctic icequake, not an animal.
- supported scientific explanation
Chlorine and bromine ozone destruction
Supported by measurements; included separately from conspiracy claims, not an unresolved mystery.
- historical scientific hypothesis
Ozone depletion from descending nitrogen oxides
1986 observations of low nitrogen dioxide argued against this explanation.
- historical scientific hypothesis
Ozone hole from rising ozone-poor air
Measured tracer abundances argued against this as the cause.
- research guide
Rivers from another age.
Claim catalog entry; inclusion is not verification.
- climate misinterpretation
Short-term ice gain disproves warming
Short-term precipitation-driven change does not overturn longer-term trends.
- research guide
Six million years in the ice.
Claim catalog entry; inclusion is not verification.
- data interpretation
Strava traces reveal underground Antarctic bases
GPS traces do not directly reveal tunnels or depth. Surface operations, travel and data errors require examination before assigning a cause.
- research guide
The screenshot problem.
Claim catalog entry; inclusion is not verification.
- research guide
The world beneath the ice.
Claim catalog entry; inclusion is not verification.
- scientific misinformation
Volcanoes alone explain Antarctic ice loss
Geothermal heat exists but does not explain the recent observed regional loss; ocean and atmospheric warming must be accounted for.
