Preface on Making Oxygen
Abstract
Imagine a planet whose atmosphere is irreversibly changed \nby the dominant lifeform inhabiting it. The lifeform releases a gas--a waste gas--trillions and trillions of tons of it. The atmosphere becomes so altered that evolution on the planet is forever changed. Science fiction? Not at all! The planet is Earth, but the waste gas is not carbon dioxide and the time is not now. Instead, the unwanted gas is oxygen, the subject of this issue’s Forum, and the time is long, long ago. On primordial Earth, the atmosphere was reducing, most likely made up mainly of nitrogen, methane, ammonia, and water vapor. While oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, it did not exist in the atmosphere in primordial times to even a small fraction of the extent that it does today.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
