Why it matters
It probes long-horizon reasoning and hypothesis refinement, distinguishing recall from genuine scientific reasoning.
Motivation
Frontier LLMs now perform strongly across a wide range of physics evaluations, but it is hard to disentangle genuine reasoning from recall of established science.
Primary resources
Benchmark Radar records only publicly supported details and links back to primary sources for verification.
