What this site ships is logged here, by date, one line each; before 20 August 2026, only new instruments and culture pieces. Mistakes have their own page: Corrections.
14 September 2026 (continued)
- Instrument The Dyson Swarm: Power is priced against one sourced figure across six benches: the Energy Institute's world total energy supply for 2025, just over 600 EJ, which is 19.0 TW. A second of sunlight now buys 638,000 years of it, and Project Hail Mary's fuel tank holds about 300
- Instrument Raptor and Merlin: Propellant mass flow is held fixed along the altitude slider and vacuum thrust derived from it, so a fixed-geometry engine no longer gains mass flow as the air thins
- Instrument Exoplanet Imaging: The Roman Space Telescope is in the past tense: it launched on 30 August 2026, and the bench says so
- Instrument GoFast: AARO's 6 February 2025 case resolution joins the sources, putting the object near 13,000 feet and its ground speed between 72 and 161 miles an hour, and the filming date reads January 2015 with the official 21st
13 September 2026
- Instrument The Red Coast Link Budget: Red Coast's sixteen-minute solar delay placed on the real Sun-Earth-Jupiter triangle, the hundred-million-fold shout on the ladder the book quotes, and the cover story priced in dish and pointing
- Site The Radiation Dose: Every 3D model on the site is re-encoded: 66 MB of model files became 15 MB, textures sized to what the screen can show and stored as WebP, geometry quantised where the bench does not measure it, nothing visibly changed; the heaviest page drops from 11 MB to 1.6 MB before its model appears
- Site Fonts ship as variable-weight files instead of being inlined into the stylesheet of every page, and only Chinese pages load the Chinese face: the shared stylesheet is 13 KB compressed where it was 264 KB, and a Chinese page downloads about a third less font data on a first visit
- Culture The Three-Body Problem: Signed review of Cixin Liu
- Wiki Three-Body Problem batch: The novel, its author, the sophon and Trisolaris, the dark forest and the shooter and farmer parables, and the real record behind them: the Fermi paradox, the Drake equation, METI, the Arecibo message, the Wow! signal and the 1960 Brookings report
- Instrument The instruments: Every bench on the site that carries code now has a calibration script, the last eight written today, and all of them run inside the build
- Instrument Wormhole: The tides fall below 1 g at a throat about a hundred thousand kilometres wide, not an astronomical unit, and the price tag now says so
- Instrument Crop Circles: The field draws about three hundred thousand stalks, and the page now says so
- Instrument Quantum Eraser: The eraser label follows the analyser angle instead of always reading 45°, and the verdict is dated from the first laboratory run
- Instrument Warp Drive: The schematic's own field is the same ahead of the bubble as behind it; the page now says the direction is carried by the labels
- Instrument Black Hole: The disk is described as it is computed: hottest just outside the inner edge, the blue-white coming from the Doppler boost
- Instrument Project Orion: Eight clickable components, with the shield deck and the crew decks listed separately
- Instrument Raptor and Merlin: Merlin's vacuum thrust is the sea-level engine's own figure, and the story says which throttle setting it quotes
12 September 2026
- Site Bold openings on the Chinese pages read as bold again, instead of printing their asterisks
- Instrument Chinese claim tables carry the same verdicts as the English ones; claims English marks as failed had been showing as settled
- Instrument Gravity: The planet system keeps the near-circular orbits it is described as having; its planets were heavy enough to throw one of their own clear of the scene within the first minute
- Instrument Four benches: The Double Slit, Light Bending, Near Light Speed and Drake Equation benches print the numbers their own models return, and each now carries a calibration script that holds them there
- Instrument Four more benches: The Arecibo Message, Dyson swarm, c-Wall and Render Engine benches do the same: their captions, ladders and evidence rows now match what each instrument computes
- Instrument The instruments: Eight more benches carry calibration scripts, from the Fermi Paradox to the Wow! Signal, and every script runs inside the build
- Instrument King's Chamber Resonance: The mode dials no longer throw when all three reach zero: (0,0,0) is the uniform pressure state, not a room mode, and the panel says so
- Instrument The Wave Schedule: The schedule readout no longer prints a pair of NaNs when there are too few intervals for a bootstrap band
