Verify Lectures 1–8: fix Stokes velocity error, complete author lists
Phase 1c verification of all 8 foundational lectures: - Fix Stokes settling velocity in L4 (was 0.04 m/s, correct is ~4 m/s) - Fix Mars scale height temperature in L5 (210→215 K for consistency) - Replace truncated author lists for Thomas2023 (49) and Farley2022 (114) - Mark L1–8 as "Verified" in course development roadmap Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

where $\Delta\rho \approx 4000$ kg m$^{-3}$ is the density contrast between metal and silicate, $g$ is the gravitational acceleration, $r$ is the droplet radius, and $\mu$ is the dynamic viscosity of the silicate melt. For centimetre-sized iron droplets ($r \sim 0.01$ m) in a low-viscosity magma ocean ($\mu \sim 0.1$ Pa s, $g \sim 5$ m s$^{-2}$ for an Earth-sized body during formation), this gives $v_{\mathrm{Stokes}} \sim 0.04$ m s$^{-1}$, or about 4 cm per second. At this rate, droplets could traverse a magma ocean thousands of kilometres deep in a matter of **hundreds of years** — geologically instantaneous {cite:p}`Rubie2015`.
