~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Henry didn’t care how famous or influential a verified user might be.

When it came to assigning labels, he showed absolutely no mercy.

In science, right was right, and wrong was wrong.

There was no such thing as ”It’s correct because a famous person said so.”

Even papers published by leading figures in academia frequently received Disproved or Controversial tags, accompanied by detailed replies pointing out their flaws.

And there was no arguing their way out of it unless they could actually resolve the issues that had been identified.

By this point, the Science Forum created by the mysterious CK had begun to occupy a position vaguely resembling that of an academic journal within theoretical science circles.

Of course, it wasn’t about to dethrone the world’s premier journals.

But universities had already begun approaching CK about collaborations.

Some requested dedicated sections for their institutions and voluntarily uploaded papers from their internal journals onto the Science Forum.

This served two purposes.

First, it prevented papers from being plagiarized or having their authorship altered maliciously.

Second, it functioned as a public showcase, demonstrating the achievements each university had made in theoretical science.

As for concerns that someone might exploit the research or rush to file patents first, hardly anyone worried.

After all, the forum dealt almost entirely with theoretical science.

Applied science was still busy digesting ideas from a century ago.

Who exactly was going to read these papers and immediately turn them into patentable inventions?

Anyone capable of understanding most of the material on the Science Forum was either a hidden genius from some country or a renowned scholar preparing to take on students.

For a Kryptonian equipped with a super-brain, reviewing new forum submissions was little more than a recreational activity.

It was a convenient way to pass the time.

The Science Forum had grown considerably.

Even though it automatically deleted useless comments and retained only academically relevant discussions, the number of new submissions arriving each day remained impressive.

Some were simple.

Others were extraordinarily complex.

Henry generally ignored comment threads and relied on the forum’s automated systems for moderation.

He also used plagiarism-detection software and various modular tools to reduce his workload.

Most days, ten minutes was enough to process all newly submitted papers.

Occasionally, however, a particularly sophisticated paper from a major scholar required an extra minute or two to fully understand.

Still, such researchers usually prioritized established international journals for their major work.

The Science Forum served primarily as a place to exchange ideas with colleagues around the world.

The forum’s translation system was especially valuable.

Not everyone could communicate smoothly in English or express complicated ideas precisely in a foreign language.

The translation feature solved many of those problems.

---

Several verified users had particularly caught Henry’s attention.

Tony Stark, naturally, needed no introduction.

The man behaved much like CK himself.

He loved pointing out mistakes—and then mocking people afterward.

Technically, meaningless comments were automatically deleted by forum rules.

But if profanity happened to appear inside a legitimate academic discussion, even if it crossed into personal insults, the system left it untouched.

Tony exploited that loophole to perfection.

Bruce Banner was highly active in theoretical physics and occasionally appeared in mathematical discussions as well.

He had contributed improvements to numerous papers labeled Controversial and seemed genuinely happy to help.

As a result, he had earned the nickname:

”The Nice Guy.”

Hank Pym, the great physicist from Howard Stark’s generation, also appeared from time to time.

He rarely published papers himself.

Instead, he loved showing up in other people’s discussions and asking extremely difficult questions related to their work.

Reed Richards and Victor von Doom—better known as Doctor Doom—were also active participants.

Both could frequently be found in mathematics and physics sections.

Unlike most users, however, they rarely interacted directly with others.

Their posts typically consisted of incomplete ideas, partial proofs, or highly specialized side results.

It often felt as though they were using the forum to crowdsource bug-finding for their own research.

In many ways, people’s online behavior reflected their personalities in real life.

Although Henry only formally reviewed original posts, he occasionally browsed popular comment threads.

After all, all the forum statistics and activity data were visible from the administrator backend.

If something unusual appeared, it was only natural to investigate.

Many times, he found mathematicians and physicists using the forum rules to construct highly sophisticated insults.

One particularly common example was:

tan(90°)

A shorthand way of calling something completely meaningless nonsense.

Others preferred comments like:

”Your answer is like a proton, an electron, and a neutron walking into a black hole.”

The implication being that the answer had passed beyond the event horizon and become separated from the observable universe—in other words, utterly detached from reality.

Human creativity, it seemed, could not be constrained by rules, ethics, or laws.

Reading pages of academic-sounding mockery and insults left Henry speechless.

He wasn’t even sure whether he should ban such behavior in order to preserve the purity of the Science Forum.

---

Just as he was wrestling with that question, his cellphone rang.

Once again, it was the NYPD dispatch center.

Henry answered immediately.

”Hello, this is Henry Brown.”

”Mr. Brown, are you currently at the old bridge near the South Lake in Central Park?”

”No. We’re at home.”

”Understood, we just need to confi—”

The dispatcher suddenly paused.

”Wait. You’re at home?”

”Yes. Turtle Bay. East Forty-Ninth Street. Fourth floor.”

”I see... Then what about the tiger you own?”

”Ms. Katharine Hepburn is currently using her as a pillow by the fireplace.”

”So...”

The dispatcher sounded increasingly confused.

”The tiger at the old bridge near South Lake in Central Park isn’t yours?”

”No.”

Henry paused.

”You might want to check with the zoo.

”As far as I know, there aren’t many people in New York raising tigers.”

”Understood. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Brown.”

Before Henry could say anything else, the dispatcher hurriedly hung up.

---

Sitting by the fireplace, the elderly actress looked over at him from where she reclined.

”What happened?”

”The police think there’s a tiger running loose in Central Park. They called to ask if it was Katie.”

Hearing her name, the tiger lifted her head.

Katharine immediately grabbed it and began rubbing her affectionately.

She paid absolutely no attention to the fact that if Katie opened her mouth right now, half of her body could fit inside it.

Her courage had reached a level Henry genuinely didn’t know how to evaluate.

”How could it possibly be our Katie?”

Katharine muttered in the same tone one might use with a baby.

”Such a good kitty.”

Then she looked up.

”Henry, aren’t you going to check it out?”

”What for? It’s not my tiger.”

”But if that tiger hurts someone, won’t it make things troublesome for us when we go out later?”

The old woman truly understood how people worked.

If a stray tiger injured someone, then even if it wasn’t Katie, public opinion toward tigers roaming outside would inevitably worsen.

Stereotypes and prejudice were almost always directed toward entire groups.

For a single individual to overcome that prejudice required far more effort than outsiders could imagine.

After thinking it through, Henry stood up.

”Alright. I’ll go take a look.”

”Go, Tiger!”

”You’re acting like this is Detroit.”

Henry muttered under his breath, referencing the Detroit Tigers baseball team.
