the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that mercury becomes a solid below minus 38.8 degrees Celsius?

Unclear. The retrieved items only partially bear on the claim: one reference notes mercury is a liquid at ordinary temperatures, and a simulation study discusses solidification of mercury confined in carbon nanotubes. Neither gives the specific -38.8 degrees Celsius freezing point, so the exact figure is not settled by these sources.
