[] It would take up too much space to enumerate all the mistakes: indeed it is difficult to say where one error ends and the next begins. One bit of jargon, the Hagedorn temperature, comes from string theory, but as Schreiber notes, the paper does not use this concept in any detail; moreover, since the paper is manifestly not a string theory treatise, "considering the role the Hagedorn temperature plays in string cosmology, this is bordering on self-parody." [4] Her pregnancy by African-American tenor Roland Hayes caused her to forfeit access to her four elder children, to her palatial homes in Berlin and Prague, and also her reputation in European society.

Jackiw defended the thesis: All these were ideas that could possibly make sense. The two brothers were also sent to court for "swindling vulnerable people", and the trial was due . Prior to the controversy, the reports on the Bogdanov theses and most of the journal referees' reports spoke favorably of their work, describing it as original and containing interesting ideas.

[18], In 2001, the Czechoslovak Journal of Physics accepted an article written by Igor Bogdanov, entitled "Topological Origin of Inertia". The brothers Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff are French brothers and science fiction producers who've attracted online attention for their unusual appearances. The paper was discussed extensively at the annual Editorial Board meeting and there was general agreement that it should not have been published. Grichka and Igor Bogdanoff became France's most famous twins, hosting a TV science and science-fiction show in the 1980s on a spaceship set.

"[12] Jacques Distler voiced a similar opinion, proclaiming "The [Bogdanovs'] papers consist of buzzwords from various fields of mathematical physics, string theory and quantum gravity, strung together into syntactically correct, but semantically meaningless prose. [45] Jovanovi himself later became embroiled in controversy and resigned his post, when he was found out to not have obtained a Ph.D. at the London School of Economics as he had claimed. Yikes.

[8][18] These news stories included commentary by physicists. Since then several steps have been taken to further improve the peer review process in order to improve the quality assessment on articles submitted to the journal and reduce the likelihood that this could happen again.

In conclusion, I would not recommend that this paper be published in this, or any, journal. I first learned of the relevant papers in a posting on the internet by Dr. John Baez.

Though people are convinced that they used implants, botox, and fillers to stretch their faces, the twins always claimed that's wasn't true. Newman. [25], The Chinese Journal of Physics published Igor Bogdanoff's "The KMS state of spacetime at the Planck scale", while Nuovo Cimento published "KMS space-time at the Planck scale". And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. The Bogdanov affair was an academic dispute regarding the legitimacy of a series of theoretical physics papers written by French twins Igor and Grichka Bogdanov (alternatively spelled Bogdanoff).The papers were published in reputable scientific journals, and were alleged by their authors to culminate in a theory for describing what occurred before and at the Big Bang.
