Revision as of 22:13, 20 July 2005 by Anville (talk | contribs) (reversion and POV-ectomy)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)In 2002, a pair of brothers (Igor and Grichka Bogdanov), managed to get several papers published in physics journals which, upon closer inspection, seemed to be full of pseudoscience under a layer of dense technical jargon. The brothers have since defended their theories (which claim to deal with the area of topological field theory), but the veracity of their work remains in extreme doubt.
The incident has been termed a "reverse Sokal Affair", though the parallel between the two cases is far from exact.
