Logic Failure
Investigations into official explanations that entirely contradict their own internal logic.

UKCA and UK REACH – Post-Brexit Regulatory Capacity Under Pressure
UKCA and UK REACH promised separate British regulatory systems. Government records show repeated extensions alongside limited specialist testing, costly chemical-data requirements and pressure on regulatory expertise.
Vitamin D – How a Calculation Mistake Shaped Global Guidance
The global Vitamin D standard was built on a confirmed calculation error. Corrected mathematics points to a higher dose, yet the official guideline remains unchanged.
Creatine Cognitive Research – Academic Disclosures and Consumer Marketing
Researchers disclosed financial ties to creatine manufacturers and supplement brands in academic papers. Those disclosures are not fully reproduced on reviewed consumer pages carrying cognitive claims.
The Creatine Vegetarian Gap – From Scientific Research to Marketing Claims
Early creatine trials reported cognitive benefits, but later studies produced mixed or null results. In 2024, UK and EU regulators found the evidence insufficient for the proposed health claim.
The Cornish Pasty Claim About an Arsenic Handle
The legend claims the crimp was a disposable handle against arsenic. However, archival photos show miners using ‘crib bags’ instead. We test this theory against estimated daily energy needs to see if the story is history or fakelore.
The Narrative Killers – A Psychological Autopsy of the Flannan Isles Mystery
The story of the Flannan Isles is defined by fictions that are more memorable than the facts. This is a psychological autopsy of why the human mind prefers a good story over a true one, and how narrative can kill a record.
Phantom Laboratories in Space Medicine – Data Discrepancies Found
An investigation into long-duration space medicine papers reveals duplicated clinical datasets, impossible calculations, and phantom institutional research bases that do not exist in the physical records.
Antikythera Mechanism – An Engineering Audit of the Academic Record
The academic consensus surrounding the Antikythera bronze claimed it functioned as a precision astronomical device. A recent structural tolerance test applied to the hand-cut gears reveals the accepted mathematical model jams almost immediately.
