About

We check the things everyone “knows”.

LumeQL takes everyday beliefs, from goldfish memory to the Great Wall seen from space, and checks them against the evidence. Every case file gives a clear verdict, explains where the myth came from, and lists its sources so you can check our work.

Every myth is researched, written and illustrated by hand.

How we rate a myth

TRUE

The claim holds up against the evidence.

HALF-TRUE

There’s something real in it, but it leaves out or bends part of the story.

BUSTED

The evidence says the claim is false.

UNPROVEN

There isn’t enough evidence to call it either way.
