Editions¶
| Version | Date | Change | What changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| v4 | 2026-09-28 | The cosmology passage now says Bondi (1952, 2nd ed. 1960) set out the privileged cosmological frame, the rest frame of the substratum, before the CMB was known, and that the CMB later made it observable through its dipole anisotropy, first detected in 1977 (Earth moving at about 390 km/s). Added the Smoot, Gorenstein and Muller (1977) footnote, and the Bondi footnote was corrected from 1959 to the 1952 first edition and no longer credits the book with defining inertial frames using the CMB. | prose — detailed body (prose edited) |
| v3 | 2026-09-16 | Citation verification: a first 3,245 citations (7.5 %, prime abstractions) now carry a "Show verification details" record under the article's References and on the work's page — graded Supported, Supported in part, or Borderline support, each naming what it was verified against and quoting the passage it rests on. New "Against the text" section and filter on the References index; reference-page Verification rewritten as question and answer. Footnotes cleaned of editorial bookkeeping (~2,900 entries; ~450 mechanism/article versions move). Registry rebuilt. Negative verdicts withheld pending review. | prose — detailed body (prose edited) |

Editions are cut at publish time from a content hash of the entity's canonical source, so a version changes only when the content actually changed. Full canonical content for every edition, and the exact per-part diffs between them, are in the downloadable editions archive (editions_archive.jsonl); the current-state index is versions.jsonl.
