Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A universe born in a black hole would be located on the other side of the event horizon and connected to the parent universe through an Einstein-Rosen bridge.

    “A universe born in a black hole would be located on the other side of the event horizon of the black hole and connected to the parent universe through an Einstein-Rosen bridge [3].”
  • Such a closed universe might have originated as a baby universe from a bounce in the interior of a black hole existing in a parent universe.

    “Such a universe might have originated as a baby universe from a bounce in the interior of a black hole existing in a parent universe [2][3][4][5].”
  • Such a contraction could correspond to gravitational collapse of matter inside a newly formed black hole existing in another universe.

    “Such a contraction could correspond to gravitational collapse of matter inside a newly formed black hole existing in another universe (Novikov 1966;Pathria 1972;Frolov et al. 1989Frolov et al. , 1990;;Smolin 1992;Stuckey 1994;Easson & Brandenberger 2001;Smoller & Temple 2003;Popławski 2010aPopławski , 2010cPopławski , 2011a)).”

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.
