How this receipt has changed
Charles Goodyear discovered the process of vulcanization, which allows for the production of stable rubber for tires.
This receipt has not been rewritten since it was published on 03 Oct 2026. Its current version is 1.
Weight is the one the receipt's balance bar uses: every source counts 1, plus a bounded bonus for how often it has been cited, so one famous paper cannot outweigh three dissenting ones (at most 3x a bare source). It is a reading aid built from facts the receipt already stores, not the engine's confidence.
