Over 2,000 years ago Aristotle wrote: “To say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.” Truth begins with reality. But to examine reality, we need a reliable record of what actually happened. The internet changed that. Today anyone can clip a video, remove context, and push a fragment to millions. The viral version spreads faster than the full record. Soon the fragment becomes the narrative — even when it isn’t the whole story. The problem isn’t just misinformation. It’s that the record disappears behind the narrative. TruTime is an attempt to fix that. Not by deciding what’s true. But by preserving the record of media as it existed in time — so the full context can always be examined. Truth will always be debated. Interpretations will always differ. But the record should remain. The internet doesn’t need another referee. It needs a better record.

@TruTimeTeam Yeah this one was pretty wild

A clip circulating online appears to use an AI-generated voice overlay added to a segment from the DG ISPR press conference held on 27 February 2026. The segment being shared comes from approximately minute 2:05 to 2:35 of the original press conference. When audio overlays or edits are added to fragments of a longer event, the only reliable reference point is the full recording of the event itself. +The link to the original press conference is included below for comparison. Situations like this highlight a broader challenge online. Fragments can spread quickly, while the full record of the event is often harder to locate and verify. This is part of the problem projects like TruTime are trying to addres. creating verifiable references for media so that viral clips can always be traced back to the full record they came from. When the reference to the original event is easy to find, misinformation becomes much harder to sustain.

@togpeter @PhysInHistory Just a minor niggle: Your gay

@PhysInHistory Just a minor niggle: 'math' is an abbreviation for mathematics, which is plural from the Greek. As a plural, convention is that the abbreviation is plural too. Ergo, 'maths'.

Mathematician Paul Erdős used to work for nearly 19 hours a day doing math and often claimed that he requires only three hours of sleep. He published nearly 1500 papers on mathematics and co-authored with more than 250 mathematicians during his time. Erdös is credited for pioneering discrete mathematics which is considered to be one of the foundations of modern computer science as computer algorithms, and software programming use discrete mathematical concepts.
