Cue the 'aliens' click bait stories in about 24 hours. Less sarcastically...has anyone created some sort of internet archaeology tools that allows quick traceback of information linked from page to page to show how science becomes news then bad news then click bait?

That would be a great tool. The only examples I've seen are when youtubers like portholer54 do it, presumably manually.

Actually the Ancient Babylonians had clay tablets that could trace the origin of information linked from tablet to tablet far more accurately than modern computing devices can.

  1. That technology was probably given to them by aliens /s 2. Do you have a link about this? I assume that tablets had identifying marks on them, and subsequent tablets had some sort of "source:" citation on them?
