Preparations under way for the 13th meeting of the Council
Sophon Activity WarningPDC/SAC/WARN-04 · Issued on 22 March, Year 4 of the Crisis Era Anomalies in global hadron collider experiments persist, and the collision window for this season has been postponed again. The public is urged to verify information regarding alleged "breakthroughs in fundamental physics" through this website and the national scientific institutions of member States, and to be wary of pseudoscientific projects seeking to profit from the situation.

Fact Check

FACT CHECK · Fact Check · Public submissions for verification are welcome

In the Crisis Era, rumours are as destructive as panic. This column verifies unconfirmed information circulating online regarding the Crisis and publishes conclusions. Verification is based solely on publicly available observational data and official documents of the Council.

Unfounded

"The Trisolaran Fleet has turned away from the Solar System; the Crisis is over"

Briefings Nos. 5, 6, and 7 of the Observation Network show no signs of orbital changes, acceleration, or deceleration; the document number cited in the so-called "leaked briefing" does not exist in the Council's document numbering sequence. See press release (PDC/PIO/FC-011) for verification details.
Verification date: 20 February, Year 4 · Status: Ongoing monitoring of related dissemination
Unfounded

"A certain country has secretly built a light-speed probe, which will intercept and crush the Fleet upon its arrival in four hundred years"

The fundamental physical theories underpinning light-speed travel have not been experimentally verified (see "Explanation of Technology Lockdown"); there is no technological pathway to realize a light-speed probe. Any fundraising or investment campaigns using "light-speed spacecraft" as a gimmick are suspected of fraud.
Verification date: 6 February, Year 4
Unfounded

"Sophons can read human thoughts, even dreams"

All confirmed evidence indicates that Sophons can read visual information and communication content; there is no evidence showing they can read human neural activity or thoughts. The judgment that "thoughts cannot be read," which underpins the Wallfacer Project, is precisely the shared cognitive basis of the Council and the Trisolaran side.

Verified (with supplementary explanation)

"The Stars Plan is 'selling' stars outside the Solar System"

True, but requires full elaboration: the registration scope is limited to stars and planets beyond 100 light-years from the Solar System; the exercise of rights must not violate the Space Law Convention and its Crisis Addendum; ownership does not constitute development rights; proceeds are earmarked for basic research on the defense system and subject to audit. See the Stars Plan Committee official website for details.
Verification date: 28 January, Year 4
Unfounded

"The collider anomaly was merely an equipment failure; it will be fixed with repairs"

The anomaly exhibited cross-device and cross-continental synchronicity, exceeding the attribution scope of any single equipment or environmental factor. The Scientific Advisory Committee has confirmed its cause (PDC/SAC/WARN-01). The global collider network remains operational precisely to monitor and prepare for recovery.
Verification date: 15 January, Year 4
Misleading

"The ETO has been completely eradicated"

The main body of the Earth-Trisolaris Organization (ETO) suffered a devastating blow during law enforcement operations prior to Year 1 of the Crisis Era, but residual forces and associated propaganda activities still exist today. Maintain vigilance regarding accounts and activities claiming to represent the "Trisolaran civilization," and submit leads via reporting channels.
