Scientists And Mathematicians Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-31 · 10 entries checked · 13 flagged · 17 issues confirmed · 3 corrected · 14 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Kurt Gödel — Gödel emigrated to the United States in 1940, not 1939.

Leonhard Euler — Euler entered the Paris Academy prize competition more than 12 times, not exactly 12 times

Leonhard Euler — Euler was the eldest of six children, but only two (not three) survived to adulthood

Paracelsus — The claim that Paracelsus studied at the University of Vienna is not supported by reliable historical evidence.

Paracelsus — The first attested use of the name 'Paracelsus' was for a medical/alchemical work in 1529, not a political-astrological publication.

Linus Pauling — [staleness sweep] contains time-sensitive marker (as of 2010) - verify against current source and re-date or remove

Mikhail Lomonosov — [staleness sweep] contains time-sensitive marker (As of 2019) - verify against current source and re-date or remove

Louis de Broglie — [contradicted] During the First World War, he served in the engineering forces, working on wireless communications, including with submarines, alongside his brother Maurice and Léon Brillouin. :: The source states he was seconded to the Wireless Communications

Louis de Broglie — [contradicted] thesis, de Broglie introduced his theory of electron waves, culminating in the de Broglie hypothesis that any moving particle or object has an associated wave. :: The source says his 1924 thesis introduced his theory of electron waves and the de

Ludwig Boltzmann — [contradicted] Boltzmann's tombstone bears the inscription S = k·log W :: His tombstone bears the inscription of Boltzmann's entropy formula: S = k·log W. (The source confirms this, so no contradiction; however the page content says 'S = k·log W' which matches

Niels Bohr — [contradicted] He founded the Institute for Theoretical Physics (since 1965, known as the Niels Bohr Institute) at the University of Copenhagen in 1921. :: The source explicitly states Niels Bohr founded the Institute for Theoretical Physics (since 1965, known
