During 2001-2002 popular French TV presenters Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff published several papers, consisting of incoherent stream of buzzwords of modern physics, in five physics journals. The incident has been termed a "reverse Sokal Affair", though Bogdanoff brothers, unlike Sokal, do not admit to hoax, but claim that their papers are scientific. They even used "research" reported in those papers to get doctorate degrees in theoretical physics from from the University of Bourgogne in Paris, France.
