Quo Fuit places 4 dated presences for James Cronin across 4 places, from 1931 to 1971.
Each one keeps the sentence it was taken from and a link to its source.

Every dot is a place James Cronin is documented in, on a dated record. The interactive globe carries the full detail.

Open Quo Fuit to see these 4 presences on the
globe, filter them by date, and follow the journey year by year.
In each of these, a source puts James Cronin and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that James Cronin was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.

University of Utahmentioned“In 1998 he joined the faculty at the University of Utah on a half-time basis to work on ultra-high-energy cosmic ray physics and to jumpstart the Pierre Auger Observatory project.”source: Wikipedia: James Cronin
Two people documented in the same place in the same year is a correlation, not a meeting.
Quo Fuit will never say they met without a source that says so.
How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.

See James Cronin on a 3D globe, filter the record by date, and cross this life with another to find
where the two overlap.
