The website reports on the first-ever filming of goblin sharks, California's proximity to a major earthquake, physicists splitting a photon into a swarm of particles, and the rediscovery of a dwarf fox in Cozumel, Mexico.
The claims were evaluated based on available evidence. The claim about goblin sharks being filmed for the first time is supported by multiple sources confirming the first filming in 2019. The prediction about California being close to a major quake is speculative and rated as a prediction, thus unverifiable. The claim about physicists splitting a photon into a swarm of particles is supported by theoretical evidence, though experimental confirmation is pending. The rediscovery of the Cozumel dwarf fox is well-supported by multiple sources. Finally, the claim about the San Jacinto and southern San Andreas faults reaching their highest stress levels in 1,000 years is strongly supported by multiple authoritative sources. Overall, the claims are mostly supported by evidence, with the exception of the speculative prediction about California's earthquake risk.

Goblin sharks were filmed for the first time.
Multiple sources confirm that goblin sharks were filmed alive in their natural habitat for the first time in 2019 and again in 2024. This supports the claim that they were filmed for the first time, although the exact year of the first filming was 2019, not 2024.

Evidence SummaryMultiple web sources confirm goblin sharks were filmed for the first time in 2019.
This claim is a prediction about future events and cannot be verified. Snopes rated a related claim as 'Mixture', indicating uncertainty about the imminence of a major quake. California is known to be at risk for earthquakes, but predicting exact timing is speculative.
