Project Prove It

A complete graph of scientific proofs

Any proof of a scientific fact builds upon the proofs of other facts. And the proofs of those facts depend on even more facts. The goal of this book is to repeatedly present the proofs for it all. If you are perpetually curious or insatiably stubborn, this book should leave you completely satisfied.

The purpose of this book is not to present the history of how scientific facts were actually discovered. While learning about the context behind the scientists that discovered truths and invented tools is fascinating and inspiring, this book focuses on the best proof of a particular fact, instead of the argument that was initially presented.

The purpose of this book is not to teach scientific concepts. While a reader may discover new information, this book will assume that the reader is familiar enough with the ideas to only require the minimum information for the proof.

Below is the current table of contents of this book's knowledge graph. Each page contains a proof of the fact and links to proofs of all of the facts it relies on. Eventually, we will visualize this as an interactive graph, so that the connections between various facts is clearer.
