Reward is a feature that we hope will inspire experts to answer important questions and make their answers available to everyone. It allows a sponsor to signal that they think a question is particularly important by offering a financial prize for established arguments that contribute to the establishment or refutation of the topic. A prize winner can keep the money, apply it to reward other questions, or donate it to charity.

STATEMENT | TSSciencecollaboration Answers Your Questions by Rating as tentatively established those Statements that have a proof for which all rebuttals have be | TSSciencecollaboration Answers Your Questions by rating Statements as Tentatively Established when they have a tentatively established proof for which all proposed refutations have been refuted., and Giving their demonstrations. You can not only see which statements have demonstrations, but trace backward in the Diagram to find the Demonstration, and to see how challenges have been refuted. At a given time, the status may be recently changed by an incorrect challenge. The answer may be more reliable if there have been many views since the last status change. |

STATEMENT | A statement is Tentatively Established, if at least one of its proofs are TE, and no challenge is. | A Statement is Tentatively Established, if at least one of its proofs are TE, and no challenge is, or if it has been posted without any proofs, and has no challenges. The reason for this latter is: If a proof has been proposed for the statement and subsequently challenged, we require that at least one proof be established before we consider the statement TE. However, when a statement is asserted without proof, and nobody has challenged it, we do not require an additional proof be added to declare it TE, since if further proof was necessary to conclude the declaration, someone could validly challenge on that basis. Thus every statement is TE when it is first added and until it or a statement in its demonstration is challenged. By the demonstration of a Statement, we mean a proof of it, together with (as necessary because of challenges) the demonstrations of its proof statements and falsifications of its challenges. |

STATEMENT | A tentatively established statement has a demonstration for which every challenge has been refuted. | A tentatively established statement has a demonstration for which every challenge has been refuted, and is thus considered Tentatively Established-- Established until someone raises a valid objection. A tentatively refuted statement has a tentatively established Challenge, that is a Challenge that is itself Tentatively Established, or every proposed refutation of it has such a TE Challenge. |

In response I have edited the topic statement, and have added a statistic to the website reporting views since last each statement's rating changed, which should be some indication of whether recent changes have been vetted. |

SUGGESTEDEDIT | "Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts"--R.P. Feynman | "So there came a time in which the ideas, although accumulated very slowly, were all accumulations not only of practical and useful things, but great accumulations of all types of prejudices, and strange and odd beliefs. Then a way of avoiding the disease was discovered. This is to doubt that what is being passed from the past is in fact true, and to try to find out ab initio again from experience what the situation is, rather than trusting the experience of the past in the form in which it is passed down. And that is what science is: the result of the discovery that it is worthwhile rechecking by new direct experience, and not necessarily trusting the [human] race['s] experience from the past. I see it that way. That is my best definition...Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts." --Richard P Feynman, What is Science? (1968) http://www-oc.chemie.uni-regensburg.de/diaz/img_diaz/feynman_what-is-science_68.pdf |

The system immediately highlights its impact. | Any person in the world can contribute, pasting his idea right where its (hopefully) relevant. The system immediately highlights its impact. This person may not have any evidence, etc. but can be reasonable sounding or seemingly intelegent. Until someone challenges it, the impact of the statement may as well be the same as true. |

STATEMENT | A "New" status or something similar could help with this | If a new challenge/proof/etc. and it's effects could be seen seperately, it would give time for responses to occur before its effects are considered settled (at least for now), but still allow people to see the effects immediately. Potentially: New could be established by time, views or (IMHO ideally) a combination of both. |
