Henry didn't care how impressive the verified users were; the authenticity of the labels was ruthless. In the scientific field, right is right, and wrong is wrong; there's no Reason "whoever says it is right."

Articles published by some academic luminaries are often labeled as "falsifiable" or "controversial," followed by a response pointing out the errors. They can't simply deny it; they have to find a way to justify the errors that have been pointed out.

Today, the Scientific Forum founded by CK has gained a status in the field of theoretical science that is somewhat similar to that of an academic journal.

The status of top international journals remains unshakable. However, some universities have already sought cooperation with CK to create dedicated university sections and have proactively moved papers from their internal journals to the Scientific Forum.

Besides preventing the misuse or alteration of authors of papers from one's own school, this can also serve as an external Google platform, showcasing a university's achievements in the field of theoretical science.

As for the malicious use of research papers, or even the pre-registration of patents, people are really not afraid.

Because this place is all about theoretical science; applied science is still stuck on things from a hundred years ago. How could anyone possibly conjure up any new ideas from this knowledge and register patents prematurely?

If someone can understand most of the articles on this Scientific Forum, it's either because a hidden expert from some country has revealed themselves, or because some expert is preparing to take on students.

For Kryptonian with their Super Brain, reviewing new posts on the forum is more like a way to relax and kill time.

Even with the automatic deletion of some useless comments and the retention of only academic discussion articles, the number of new articles on Scientific Forum is still considerable, covering a wide range of topics.

Henry doesn't read the comments section under the articles; he relies solely on the forum's own mechanisms for management. He also uses plagiarism detection programs for initial screening and modular functions to reduce his workload.

Most of the time, ten minutes a day is enough to handle the accumulated number of new articles. But sometimes there are profound papers by experts that take Henry an extra minute or two to understand.

However, these leading figures still prefer to publish papers in international journals. They rely more on Scientific Forum to engage in academic exchanges with researchers in the same field around the world.

In particular, the translation function on Scientific Forum has solved many communication problems for many people. Not everyone can use English fluently and express their thoughts accurately.

In addition, many other registered users caught Henry's attention.

There's no need to say much about Tony Stark, that show-off kid. He's similar to CK in his behavior; they both like to point out other people's mistakes and then take a jab at them.

Yes, the rules of the Scientific Forum are that useless comments will be deleted. But if there is profanity mixed in with academic discussions, even to the point of being personally insulting, it will be kept. This guy has really taken advantage of the rules to the extreme.

Bruce Banner is quite active in theoretical physics and occasionally appears in mathematics. He has also helped improve many controversial articles, and enjoys doing so, earning him the nickname "good guy".

Hank Pym, a physics luminary of Howard Stark's generation, also occasionally chimed in. Although he didn't publish any articles, he would often visit the comments section of other people's papers, asking tricky questions and seeking answers.

Mister Fantastic Reed Richards and Victor von Doctor Doom, also Doctor Doom, were also present.

They can be found in both mathematics and physics.

They primarily focus on publishing papers and don't interact much with others. Moreover, most of what they publish is flawed content or peripheral information within proofs. It's more like they're using this platform to find people to help them catch bedbugs.

It can be said that one's personality in real life can be seen to some extent from each person's behavior.

Although Henry only reviews the opening posts, he still checks some of the popular comments. After all, the backend data is right under his nose, so it's normal for him to take a look if there are any problems or anomalies.

It's common to see mathematicians and physicists using forum rules to create articles that are essentially meaningless. For example, the most frequently used term is tan90°, which represents utterly meaningless garbage.

Or your answer is like a proton, an electron, and a neutron walking into a black hole. The metaphorical answer is separated from the event horizon and our universe, meaning it is impractical.

This shows that rules, Moral, laws, and other restrictions cannot limit the infinite potential of humankind.

Henry was speechless as he read the sarcastic and abusive comments that seemed to be part of an academic discussion. He wondered whether he should ban these kinds of comments to maintain the purity of the Scientific Forum.

Just as he was hesitating, his phone rang. It was the NYPD's operations center again. Henry answered, "Hello, this is Henry Brown."

"Mr. Brown, are you currently at the old bridge over South Lake in Central Park?"

No, we're at home now.

"Okay, we'll check—um, are you at home now?"

"Yes, Turtle Bay, East 49th Street, fourth floor."

"And what about the Tiger you keep?"

"Ms. Catherine Hepburn used it as a cushion by the fireplace in her home."

So—that Tiger at the South Lake Bridge in Central Park isn't yours?

"No. Perhaps you could check with the zoo. As far as I know, there aren't many people Tiger in New York."

"Okay. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Brown."

I was about to reply when the other party abruptly hung up the phone.

The old woman sitting by the fireplace looked at the young man on the sofa and asked, "What's going on?"

"There might be a Tiger running around in Central Park, and the police called to ask if it was Kitty."

Hearing someone call its name, the lying Tiger raised its head, only to have its head grabbed by the old lady and stroked up.

Completely disregarding the fact that once that tiger's mouth opened, she was probably halfway into it. Her audacity was so great that even Henry didn't know how to describe it.

"How could it be our Kitty? Such a good cat," Catherine Hepburn muttered, as if talking to a baby. She then asked, "Henry, aren't you going to go check?"

"What would I go there for? It's not like I raised it."

"But if that Tiger hurts someone, it'll be a lot of trouble for us when we go out in the future."

It's fair to say the old man's keen insight into human nature wasn't Reason. If that strange Tiger had injured someone, even if it wasn't Kitty, it would certainly have given people a negative impression of Tiger roaming the land.

Stereotypes and prejudices are usually directed at an entire group. The difficulty and effort required for a single individual to reverse such discrimination is unimaginable to outsiders.

After thinking it through, Henry stood up. "Okay, I'll go take a look."

Go, Tiger!

"This isn't Detroit (referring to the Detroit Tigers, a Major League Baseball team)," Henry muttered, pouting.
