  • The linked statement does not show that the Clay Navier–Stokes millennium problem has been solved. Clay still listed Navier–Stokes as an unsolved problem on September 8, 2026, and the PDF itself describes the Navier–Stokes result only as an unreleased or unverified claim.

  • As of September 8, 2026, the Clay Mathematics Institute still lists the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize problem as unsolved. There is no accepted proof establishing finite-time blow-up for the actual 3D Navier–Stokes equations.

  • JAEA evaluated nuclear data do not support a 10× gap. They list Am-242m at 6.401 kb thermal fission cross section and Cf-251 at 4.939 kb, so Am-242m is only about 1.3× higher, not 10×.

  • Authoritative BIS/I4IS summaries describe Project Daedalus as carrying a 450-tonne scientific payload, not 500 tonnes.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion)
  • This is incorrect because the Partial Test Ban Treaty is a multilateral treaty with many participating states, not a restriction that applies only to the U.S., Russia, and the U.K.
  • The miles-per-second conversion is wrong. 19–31 km/s is about 11.8–19.3 mi/s, not simply “19 mi/s.”
  • The model’s size is misstated. The Smithsonian lists the Orion model’s overall dimensions as 1 ft 10 in (55.88 cm) by 1 ft 7¼ in by 8 in by 4 in, not 26 inches (66 cm) tall.
  • This entry misidentifies both the spelling and role of Orion team member Michael Treshow. Sources describe him as Michael Treshow, a design specialist/mechanical engineer, not “Micheal Treshow, physicist.”

  • Pulwama is not an Indian border post. It is a district (and city) in Jammu and Kashmir; the 2019 attack was on a CRPF convoy at Lethpora in Pulwama district.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Hill_Church
  • This location count is paired with the wrong number of states. Mars Hill’s 15th location was in Phoenix, Arizona, so 15 locations meant operations in five states, not four.
  • Not every Mars Hill location became an independent church. Contemporary reporting and Mars Hill’s own archived directory show only 11 newly independent churches, while some locations combined or did not continue.

  • This sentence misplaces several settlements. Timure, Dhunche, and Syafrubesi are in Rasuwa District, not Nuwakot.
  • These numbers do not match each other. Reports using the same breakdown give either 21,402 total with 7,912 police, or 21,465 total with 7,974 police.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_A-12
  • Official CIA sources date the loss of A-12 Article 129 to June 4, 1968, not June 5, 1968.
  • The A-12 first flew in April 1962, so saying it “flew from 1963 to 1968” is a year late.

  • The post’s own follow-up says Gemini chose an RFC 5737 TEST-NET-1 address. TEST-NET-1 is a documentation-only block reserved by IANA/ARIN, not a U.S. Department of Defense-assigned IP range.

  • By April 2026, OpenAI and Microsoft had already amended their partnership so Microsoft's license runs through 2032, and multiple reports said the old AGI-triggered contractual clause was removed. So the agreement was no longer contingent on OpenAI not 'reaching AGI.'

  • ChatGPT Work cannot simply inspect “everything” on your computer or all your mail/messages just from a prompt. OpenAI says it only gets access to specific local folders or explicitly connected accounts, and cloud browsing is separate from your own device/browser state.

  • Kenny G’s birth date is not June 6, 1956. Reputable biographies list him as born on June 5, 1956, so he should not appear in a June 6 birthday list.
  • Karen Stupples was not born on June 6, 1973. Reputable golf biographies list her birth date as June 24, 1973.
  • Paul Naschy was not born on June 6, 1934. Reliable film and news sources give his birth date as September 6, 1934.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_the_Great
  • Josephus does not describe Herod as descended from Eleazar Maccabeus. In Josephus, Herod’s paternal line is Idumaean/Edomite, and Josephus explicitly rejects Nicholas of Damascus’s alternative claim of Babylonian-Jewish ancestry.
  • Herod’s audience with Octavian at Rhodes is generally dated to spring 30 BCE, after the 31 BCE battle of Actium—not to 31 BCE itself.
  • Josephus does not place Salome’s bequest simply in the Gaza region. He says she received Jamnia, Ashdod/Azotus, and Phasaelis—and Phasaelis was in the Jordan Valley north of Jericho.

  • SB 423 does not apply to every San Francisco apartment project that follows zoning rules. San Francisco’s own materials say only specific project types qualify, and some projects still require an informational Planning Commission hearing before a ministerial application can even be filed.
  • That is not how the 1965 Voting Rights Act worked. Coverage required both a discriminatory ‘test or device’ and low registration/turnout, and the law imposed federal preclearance and possible federal examiners—not a blanket rule that any county below 50% registration simply ‘lost control’ of its elections.

  • Der Lotoseffekt macht Lotusblätter wasserabweisend, aber nicht frei von Mikroorganismen oder Krankheiten. Auf Lotusblättern sind sowohl bakterielle Blattgemeinschaften als auch pilzliche Blattkrankheiten nachgewiesen worden.
  • Hier werden Frucht und Blütenboden verwechselt. Bei Nelumbo sind die eigentlichen Früchte einzelne nussartige Früchtchen; der große „Duschkopf“ ist der vergrößerte Blütenboden bzw. das Receptaculum.
