Experimental Roadmap
& Falsification Timeline

A physics theory is only as good as what it predicts and whether those predictions can be proven wrong. This page tracks BPR's open predictions against real experiments, past and future. Green = confirmed. Amber = being tested now. Purple = predicted but not yet measured.

About falsification criteria

A theory that can't be falsified isn't science. BPR commits to specific thresholds: if DESI-II measures w₀ > −0.8, the framework is ruled out. If next-generation atomic spectroscopy detects no 66.8 Hz substrate shift, BPR is ruled out. These aren't vague they're quantitative predictions tied to scheduled experiments.
