In April 2012, a group of 170 scientists published an open letter titled L'affaire Bogdanoff: Libert, Science et Justice, Des scientifiques revendiquent leur droit au blme (The Bogdanov Affair: Liberty, Science and Justice, scientists claim their right of critique). [20], The paper in question was, however, not officially withdrawn by the journal. [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". [62][63] A review in Science et Vie found that the book was light on detail and never actually said what the "Bogdanov equation" is: "Et arriv la conclusion, on n'est mme plus trs certain qu'elle existe rellement" ("Arriving at the conclusion, one is no longer even very certain that it really exists"). Though the family of her mother shuns her after engaging in an affair with an African-American musician. 45. The two brothers were also sent to court for "swindling vulnerable people", and the trial was due . The Register reported on the dispute on November 1, 2002,[17] and stories in The Chronicle of Higher Education,[3] Nature,[11] The New York Times, and other publications appeared soon after. C.A. [39][57], In 2005, the Bogdanovs became professors at Megatrend University in Belgrade where they were appointed Chairs of Cosmology and said to direct the Megatrend Laboratory of Cosmology. That's all I ask.[2]. Now they look like crazy . Eli Hawkins, acting as a referee on behalf of the Journal of Physics A, suggested rejecting one of the Bogdanoffs' papers: "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. A "draft [mathematical] construction" became "la premire construction [mathmatique]" ("the first [mathematical] construction"). [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. In contrast, Ignatios Antoniadis[de; fr] (of the cole Polytechnique), who approved Grichka Bogdanov's thesis, later reversed his judgment of it. Antoniadis told Le Monde, I had given a favorable opinion for Grichka's defense, based on a rapid and indulgent reading of the thesis text. When they were young they were the heart-throbs of France's small screen but after many rounds of plastic surgery and botox, the controversial Bogdanoff twins came to be considered 'freakish' by many. Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff have seen a dramatic alteration post-surgery. They have the right to have their work recognized with a diploma, which is nothing much these days. Much mystery surrounds the biography of the twins, who have encountered numerous legal problems. If researchers find merit in the twins' ideas, those thoughts will echo in the references of scientific papers for years to come. Picture: Valery HACHE / AFP Igor (R) and Grichka Bogdanoff (L) were stars in their native France. The much-anticipated New York Times article on the Bogdanov scandal has appeared. I first learned of the relevant papers in a posting on the internet by Dr. John Baez. In 2010, The Sydney Morning Herald described the twins' cheekbones as "so high and bulbous as to appear to threaten their owners' vision", adding that the twins' appearance at the Cannes Film Festival had "caused a stir around the world". The two have been involved in a number of controversies, most notably the Bogdanov affair, however, their personalities, family origins, and physical appearances are often more than enough fodder for Internet forums.. They had no connection to, or . The Bogdanoff twins, however, always denied having any plastic surgery. Yesterday it was reported that Igor Bogdanoff, one half of the popular crypto meme duo, has passed away only days after his twin brother, Grichka. It would be too good if all these ideas and (correct) formulae were necessary for a justification of a working solution to the initial singularity problem. Thuan suggests that the plagiarism suit pressed the brothers to obtain doctorates as fast as possible, since (according to Thuan) the back cover of the book claimed that the Bogdanovs held doctorates when they did not. Surely you've seen bad papers published in good journals before this! referees give opinions; the real peer review begins after a paper is published.[67]. [10], The brothers began careers in television, hosting several popular programs on science and science fiction. Both brothers passed following complications from Covid-19, emulating each other once more in death, as they did so often in life. Adrian Chen. Grichka, the younger twin, died in the intensive care unit on Dec. 28. [34][35], On December 30, 2004, the Bogdanoffs sued Ciel et Espace for defamation over the publication of a critical article titled "The Mystification of the Bogdanoffs". "[3] As of October2018[update], the Bogdanovs' most recent paper was "Thermal Equilibrium and KMS Condition at the Planck Scale", which was submitted to the Chinese Annals of Mathematics in 2001 and appeared in 2003. Twin French TV stars die after contracting COVID-19 00:30 Paris Controversial French TV stars and famous twins Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff were inseparable in life, and in death. Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff were previously the talks of the town due to their post-surgery facial appearance. The Bogdanoff Twins commonly appeared as part of crypto memes dating back several years, making them familiar faces with the community. Bogdanoff subsequently described this version as "dating from 1991 and too unfinished to be made public". Their names are Igor and Grichka Bogdanov, and they're from France. "[20][21], Copies of the email reached American mathematical physicist John C. Baez, and on 23 October he created a discussion thread about the Bogdanoffs' work on the Usenet newsgroup sci.physics.research, titled "Physics bitten by reverse Alan Sokal hoax? Damien Calaque of the Louis Pasteur University, Strasbourg, criticized Grichka Bogdanov's unpublished preprint "Construction of cocycle bicrossproducts by twisting".

[12] Soon after, Freidel denied writing any such remarks, telling the press that he had forwarded a message containing that text to a friend.[12]. The twin celebrities and scientists first rose to fame as co-hosts of the television show 'Temps X', which blended science and science . [59] Jovanovi later became embroiled in controversy and resigned his post when it was revealed that he had not obtained a PhD at the London School of Economics as he had claimed. The death of Igor Bogdanoff, 72, was confirmed on Monday evening by his lawyer Edouard de Lamaze, as well as . Both unfortunately succumbed to complications related to COVID. 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). [51], Igor Bogdanoff had six children, four from his first marriage and two from his second. "[2], In 2001 and 2002 the brothers published five papers in peer-reviewed physics journals, including Annals of Physics and Classical and Quantum Gravity. The twins came from European nobility - but their relatives had their fair share of scandal. [8][9], Besides French, they spoke German, Russian, and English. 1 min read. "[35] An official report from the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), which became public in 2010, concluded that the paper "ne peut en aucune faon tre qualifi de contribution scientifique" ("cannot in any way be considered a scientific contribution"). [61], In 2008, Presses de la Renaissance[fr] published L'quation Bogdanov: le secret de l'origine de l'univers? "[14], Others compared the quality of the Bogdanov papers with that seen over a wider arena. Igor Yourivitch Bogdanoff (French pronunciation:[i jui.evit bdanf]; 29 August 1949 3 January 2022) and Grgoire "Grichka" Yourivitch Bogdanoff (French:[ewa ika]; 29 August 1949 28 December 2021) were French twin television presenters,[1] producers, and essayists who, from the 1970s on, presented various subjects in science fiction, popular science, and cosmology. The paper was discussed extensively at the annual Editorial Board meeting and there was general agreement that it should not have been published. see the stunning before and after photos here! Urs Schreiber, then a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hamburg, noted that the mention of the Foucault pendulum was at odds with the papers' general tone, since they generally relied upon more "modern terminology". [11] Both brothers received the lowest passing grade of "honorable". [68] One retrospective commented, Several sources have referred to the Bogdanov affair as a "reverse Sokal" hoax, drawing a comparison with the Sokal affair, where the physicist Alan Sokal published a deliberately fraudulent and indeed nonsensical article in the humanities journal Social Text. Their book "Before the Big Bang" (2004), which encapsulated their research for a general audience, was a swift seller . "[24] The New York Times reported that the physicists David Gross, Carlo Rovelli, and Lee Smolin considered the Bogdanoff papers nonsensical. Schreiber concluded, Just to make sure: I do not think that any of the above is valid reasoning. After a legal battle in France, during which a judge initially ruled in Thuan's favour, Thuan and the Bogdanovs settled out of court, and the Bogdanovs later denied all wrongdoing. The online discussion was quickly followed by media attention. He came to trial and was convicted in March 2012. [3], Grichka Bogdanov was given a PhD by the University of Burgundy (Dijon) in 1999,[7] though this doctorate is sometimes erroneously described as having been granted by the cole Polytechnique. The BBC said the un But the most famous paper about the solution of the initial singularity is a bit different; it is more sophisticated. [30] Moreover, a comment by physicist Peter Woit written as, "It's certainly possible that you have some new worthwhile results on quantum groups", was translated as "Il est tout fait certain que vous avez obtenu des rsultats nouveaux et utiles dans les groupes quantiques" ("It is completely certain that you have obtained new and useful results on quantum groups") and published by the Bogdanovs in the addendum of their book. 05/19/10 07:41PM. (And be sure that Jackiw, Kounnas, and Majid were not the only ones with this kind of a conclusion. ), officially written in English by Lubo Motl and translated into French. Did you know that the Bogdanoff twins rose to prominence hosting a French science fiction series that repurposed footage from shows like Doctor Who and The T. He added that the fact some journals and scientific institutions have low or variable standards is "hardly a revelation". Alas, I was completely mistaken. YouTube videos featuring Bogdanoff Bitcoin memes have racked up millions of views. In 2010, the Sydney Morning Herald described the twins' cheekbones as "so high and bulbous as . [8][18] These news stories included commentary by physicists. [64][55], During the heyday of this affair, some media coverage cast a negative light on theoretical physics, stating or at least strongly implying that it has become impossible to distinguish a valid paper from a hoax. themselves qualified as "extraterrestrials". For example, John C. Baez stated that the Bogdanov papers are "a mishmash of superficially plausible sentences containing the right buzzwords in approximately the right order. Since 1991, they signed their books as "Bogdanov", preferring "v" to "ff". The hard part is identifying the quantum system to which the condition should be applied, which is not done in this paper. Bogdanoff Twins' before and after surgery pictures look drastically different, the two brothers have changed their faces with plastic surgery and their followers are saying their surgery is a disaster. A source close to the brothers told French outlet Le Monde that neither had been . In a statement shared by his agent, the family of the eccentric French TV personality had died on Tuesday (28 December) surrounded by family. In April 2012, a group of 170 scientists published an open letter titled L'affaire Bogdanoff: Libert, Science et Justice, Des scientifiques revendiquent leur droit au blme (The Bogdanoff Affair: Liberty, Science and Justice, scientists claim their right of critique). One of the scientists who approved Igor Bogdanoff's thesis, Roman Jackiw of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, spoke to The New York Times reporter Dennis Overbye. Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff starred in '80s French sci-fi shows. [44][45] Mia Jovanovi, the rector and owner of Megatrend University, wrote a preface for the Serbian edition of Avant le Big Bang. Other than a statement by Dr. Stanislaus Dumin (included in a message posted by the twins on 7 January 2005 to the alt.talk.royalty Usenet newsgroup), there isn't much evidence to support this claim. With revisions I expect the paper to be suitable for publication. Alas, it suffers from the usual journalistic conceit that a proper newspaper article must cover a "controversy". [53], The Bogdanoff twins were both hospitalized, at the Georges Pompidou European Hospital in Paris,[54] in critical condition on 15 December 2021, after contracting COVID-19. French physicists, authors and TV presenters. 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." The Bogdanoff family decided against disclosing the cause of Grichka's death, too. Alas, I was completely mistaken. [] 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. Igor Bogdanoff's net worth was roughly $1.2 million, compared to his twin brother's estimated net worth of $2 million. [3], Although the Bogdanoff twins claimed to be descended paternally from a noble Muslim Tatar family traceable to the beginning of the 17th century (originally from Penza, one of whose mirzas converted to Orthodox Christianity, and was rewarded with the title of prince by a decree from Tsar Feodor III; the mirza did not exercise this right, and the title of "Prince Bogdanoff" was lost by the end of the 19th century),[5][6][citation needed] there is scant evidence for that. Humans who deeply . Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff became famous in the 1980s after hosting sci-fi shows on French TV, and became well known for their dramatic plastic surgery in recent years, despite denying they had . This is surely an indictment of something, but its relevance to string theory is marginal at best.[65]. Starke Verlag, 2011, pp. "[3] Before the controversy over their work arose, the scientific community had shown practically no interest in the Bogdanovs' papers; indeed, according to Stony Brook physics professor Jacobus Verbaarschot, who served on Igor Bogdanov's dissertation committee, without the hoax rumors "probably no one would have ever known about their articles. A number of English Wikipedia users, including Igor Bogdanov himself, were explicitly named in this ban. Rumors spread on Usenet newsgroups that their work was a deliberate hoax intended to target weaknesses in the peer review system that physics journals use to select papers for publication. The siblings - who were raised by their maternal grandmother in her castle in southern France - reportedly underwent their first round of plastic surgery in the 1990s. [3][5], In 1991 the Bogdanovs published a book, Dieu et la Science (God and Science), drawn from interviews with Catholic philosopher Jean Guitton, which became a French bestseller. According to Sternheimer, the twins viewed themselves as "the Einstein brothers" and had a propensity to voice vague, "impressionistic" statements; he considered guiding their efforts "like teaching My Fair Lady to speak with an Oxford accent. Comment. Rather than suing Riazuelo for defamation, Bogdanov filed a criminal complaint of copyright (droit d'auteur) violation against him in May 2011. The Bogdanoffs quickly became a popular discussion topic, with most respondents agreeing that the papers were flawed. However, after the publication of the article and the publicity surrounding the controversy, mathematician Greg Kuperberg posted to Usenet a statement written by the journal's senior publisher, Andrew Wray, and its co-editor, Hermann Nicolai. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. They are published authors who are able to communicate with . The report stated that "the viewpoint presented in this paper can be interesting as a possible approach of the Planck scale physics." The University of Burgundy awarded Igor Bogdanoff a Ph.D. in theoretical physics in 2002. [58][59] Mia Jovanovi, the rector and owner of Megatrend University, wrote a preface for the Serbian edition of Avant le Big Bang. Igor followed him on Monday. She "chased him away", leading him to be absent from his sons' lives until they were ten years old, and subsequently divorced from Maya. [53], The verdict outraged many scientists, who felt that the police and courts should have no say in a discussion of the scientific merits of a piece of work. While the Bogdanov brothers continued to defend the legitimacy of their work, the debate over whether it represented a contribution to physics spread from Usenet to many other internet forums, eventually receiving coverage in the mainstream media. But before his tragic death, he and his brother Igor were well-known for their eccentric personalities . On Tuesday, December 28, Grichka Bogdanoff, one of the two renowned Bogdanoff twins, passed away at the age of 72. [17][11] In 2002, Igor Bogdanoff received a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Burgundy. THE BOGDANOFF TWINS (DUMP IT) Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff's personalities and appearance have served as source material for all kinds of memes long before they were adopted by the crypto community. The magazine was eventually ordered to pay 64,000 in damages, much less than the 800,000 each which the Bogdanoffs had originally demanded. Grichka and Igor Bogdanoff, the eccentric French TV presenter twins, have died of Covid within six days of each other. I gor and Grichka Bogdanoff, the most eccentric twins made famous on French television, died six days apart of Covid, two years into the coronavirus pandemic.Grichka died first, on 28 December . 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. Igor Bogdanoff, the French TV star known for his eccentric personality and appearance, has died at 72. [2][32] Nobel laureate Georges Charpak later stated on a French talk show that the Bogdanovs' presence in the scientific community was "nonexistent".[33][15]. A fine of 2,000 the court imposed was suspended, and only 1.00 of damages was awarded,[38] but in passing judgement the court stated that the scientist had "lacked prudence", given "the fame of the plaintiff". I couldn't believe it. [49] In 2006, Baez wrote on his website that for some time the Bogdanovs and "a large crowd of sock puppets" had been attempting to rewrite the English Wikipedia article on the controversy "to make it less embarrassing to them". In addition, the paper claimed, the Foucault pendulum experiment "cannot be explained satisfactorily in either classical or relativistic mechanics". In August 2004, they presented a 90-minute special cosmology program. [14][15] They used these methods to defend their work and sometimes to insult their critics, among them the Nobel Prize recipient Georges Charpak. Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff were identical twin brothers born to Maria "Maya" Dolores Franzyska Kolowrat-Krakowsk (19261982), of Bohemian and Polish descent, and Yuri Mikhalovitch Bogdanoff (19282012),[2] an itinerant Russian farm worker, later a painter. 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. "[8] The New York Times reported that the physicists David Gross, Carlo Rovelli and Lee Smolin considered the Bogdanov papers nonsensical. [2][3] In justifying the conferring of doctoral degrees to the Bogdanovs, Sternheimer told the Times, "These guys worked for 10 years without pay. [44], In 2004, the Bogdanovs published a commercially successful popular science book, Avant Le Big Bang (Before the Big Bang), based on a simplified version of their theses, where they also presented their point of view about the affair. [11][19], In October 2002, the Bogdanoffs released an email containing apparently supportive statements by Laurent Freidel, then a visiting professor at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. [16], Grichka Bogdanoff received a Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the University of Burgundy (Dijon) in 1999. [66], The affair prompted many comments about the possible shortcomings of the referral system for published articles, and also on the criteria for acceptance of a PhD thesis. This almost goes without saying; for a quantum system, the KMS condition is just the concrete definition of thermodynamic equilibrium. The Bogdanoff conspiracy. The twins, now aged in their 60s, were best known in the late 1970s as the classically handsome hosts of French science-fiction series Temps X ( Time X ). He died just six days after his brother Grichka Bogdanoff passed away in a . A controversy began on the French Wikipedia when Igor Bogdanov and his supporters began to edit that encyclopedia's article on the brothers, prompting the creation of a new article dedicated to the debate (Polmique autour des travaux des frres Bogdanov"Debate surrounding the work of the Bogdanov brothers"). He posted an unpublished version of Grichka Bogdanov's PhD thesis on his personal website, along with his critical analysis. [51], Alain Riazuelo, an astrophysicist at the Institut d'astrophysique de Paris, participated in many of the online discussions of the Bogdanovs' work. Though they have a strange aura and physical appearance that gets them a lot of media attention, they are intellectuals with doctorate degrees in science. They had no connection to, or involvement with, their father's family, and were raised by their maternal grandmother, Countess Bertha Kolowrat-Krakowsk (18901982),[3] in her castle in southern France. bogdanoff twins tv show crew dies. Two French twin brothers who became the faces of a famed 1980s science TV programme before winning notoriety for their cosmetic surgery have died within a week of each other from Covid-19 after refusing the vaccination, friends and family said. Then they got addicted to plastic surgery. Yet this rephrasing is itself equivalent to the statement, If this was the essence of the statement, Baez noted, it cannot be very useful in "explaining the origin of inertia".[27]. They explain that they have found proof that their father was the descendant of a prince, the right arm of Tsar Peter the Great", that "according to them, Youra was a young artist [] he would have followed 'a solid training as a painter as a free auditor at the Beaux-Arts'", and that "it was there, according to the twins, who love romance, that a "famous writer" met in Paris would have introduced Youra to their grandmother". [29] Baez and Russell Blackadar attempted to determine the meaning of the "plane of oscillation" statement; after the Bogdanovs issued some elaborations, Baez concluded that it was a complicated way of rephrasing the following: Since the big bang happened everywhere, no matter which way a pendulum swings, the plane in which it swings can be said to "intersect the big bang". The paper was discussed extensively at the annual Editorial Board meeting and there was general agreement that it should not have been published. Yikes. There must be two sides to the controversy, and the reporter's job is to elicit quotes from both parties and present them side-by-side. [18][19] Controversy over the Bogdanoffs' work began on 22 October 2002, with an email sent by University of Tours physicist Max Niedermaier to University of Pittsburgh physicist Ezra T. In particular the sentences "it does not meet the standards expected of articles in this journal" and "The paper was discussed extensively at the annual Editorial Board meeting and there was general agreement that it should not have been published" were removed. [37], Alain Riazuelo, an astrophysicist at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris, participated in many of the online discussions of the Bogdanoffs' work. Some corrections were requested. Cependant, cela ne les prive pas thoriquement de la possibilit de confirmer nouveau leur droit au titre de prince sur les voies de la grce du chef de la maison impriale de, (entry in the French academic library directory), Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Centre national de la recherche scientifique, "Youra Bogdanoff, pre des clbres frres Igor et Grishka Bogdanoff est dcd cette semaine. The scientific language was just an appearance behind which hid incompetence and ignorance of even basic physics.[24]. In 1999, Grichka Bogdanoff earned a mathematics Ph.D. from the University of Burgundy (Dijon). "[26], Not all review evaluations were positive. It is the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology which is located in Clear Water Bay, not Hong Kong University (HKU), whose main campus is located in the Mid-Levels of Hong Kong Island. Sometimes a referee makes a mistake. [45], Additionally, in the same addendum, a critical analysis of their work made by Urs Schreiber, and affirmed by the Bogdanovs as "very accurate", was included with the exception of the concluding remark "Just to make sure: I do not think that any of the above is valid reasoning", thus inverting the meaning from criticism into ostensible support.

Eli Hawkins, acting as a referee on behalf of the Journal of Physics A, suggested rejecting one of the Bogdanovs' papers: "It is difficult to describe what is wrong in Section 4, since almost nothing is right. The incident prompted criticism of the Bogdanovs' approach to science popularization, led to a number of lawsuits, and provoked reflection among physicists as to how and why the peer review system can fail. [40][c], In 2002, the Bogdanovs launched a new weekly TV show Rayons X (X Rays) on French public channel France 2. [29][30], Robert Oeckl's official MathSciNet review of "Topological field theory of the initial singularity of spacetime" states that the paper is "rife with nonsensical or meaningless statements and suffers from a serious lack of coherence", follows up with several examples to illustrate his point, and concludes that the paper "falls short of scientific standards and appears to have no meaningful content.
