NoteThe record correctly identifies the grantees (David Baker, Brian Kuhlman), funder (Foresight Institute), prize name (Feynman Prize 2004 — Theory), and year (2004). The amount of $5,000 is confirmed by the source table showing 'Theoretical $5000' for 2004. The date field shows '2004-10' which aligns with the October 21-24, 2004 conference date mentioned in the source. However, the record is incomplete in that it lists only the theory prize winners without noting that this was one of two separate $5,000 prizes (the other being experimental, awarded to Homme Hellinga). The record is accurate but represents only a partial picture of the 2004 Feynman Prize awards.
