An observatory for knowledge
Every claim carries its epistemic status, a confidence score with a recorded rationale, and the evidence for and against it. The interface never looks more certain than the knowledge it displays.

The epistemic taxonomy
Overwhelming convergent evidence; reversal would be revolutionary.
Well supported by multiple independent lines of evidence; open questions remain.
Consistent with evidence and theory; rivals remain credible.
Coherent but weakly constrained by evidence; held lightly.
Not enough evidence to favor any answer. A state of the map, not an error.

A brief epoch of exponential expansion in the first fraction of a second explains the universe's flatness, homogeneity, and the origin of structure.
The gravitational anomalies attributed to dark matter are caused by an as-yet-undetected, weakly-interacting massive particle (or similar) beyond the…
Cosmic acceleration is driven by a constant vacuum energy density (Λ), the simplest addition to general relativity consistent with the data.
Self-replicating RNA molecules, acting as both genetic material and catalyst, preceded DNA and proteins and bootstrapped the first evolving systems.
All that exists is physical, and every phenomenon — including mind — is ultimately constituted by physical processes described (in principle) by physi…
Space and time are not basic but arise from a deeper, possibly information- or entanglement-based structure; gravity is a thermodynamic/emergent pheno…
