Adrian Chen. Then they got addicted to plastic surgery. And I want to know the answers to many questions that are opened in their paper. . The University of Burgundy awarded Igor Bogdanoff a Ph.D. in theoretical physics in 2002. [a] Moreover, Die Zeit quoted Nicolai as saying that had the paper reached his desk, he would have immediately rejected it. 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). But before his tragic death, he and his brother Igor were well-known for their eccentric personalities . 05 January 2022. 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. Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff are fraternal twin brothers born to Yuri Mikhalovitch Osten-Sacken-Bogdanoff (1928-2012), a Russian painter of Tatar origin and descent from a line of Prince Bogdanoff, and to Maria Maya Dolores Franzyska Kolowrat-Krakowsk (1926-1982). Starke Verlag, 2011, pp. Majid also described more than ten other modifications of meaning, each one biased towards "surestimation outrancire""outrageous over-estimation". Their book "Before the Big Bang" (2004), which encapsulated their research for a general audience, was a swift seller . "[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. 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. 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. [26] On the other hand, George Johnson's report in The New York Times concludes that physicists have generally decided the papers are "probably just the result of fuzzy thinking, bad writing and journal referees more comfortable with correcting typos than challenging thoughts. [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. 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 ). The magazine was eventually ordered to pay 64,000 in damages, much less than the 800,000 each which the Bogdanoffs had originally demanded. One episode after the heyday of the affair involved the participation of an unidentified "Professor Yang". Igor, 72, has died in hospital reportedly from Covid jus In August 2004, they presented a 90-minute special cosmology program. Life before and after surgery as Grichka dies aged 72. 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 . 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. [9] That journal ceased publication in 2005. He posted an unpublished version of Grichka Bogdanoff's Ph.D. thesis on his personal website, along with his critical analysis. After several rounds of plastic surgery and botox, the brothers ended up with a shocking appearance. 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"). But the most famous paper about the solution of the initial singularity is a bit different; it is more sophisticated. Igor followed him on Monday. Majid said that his original report described a "very weak" student who nevertheless demonstrated "an impressive amount of determination to obtain a doctorate. A Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) internal report later concluded that their theses had no scientific value. [42] The Bogdanoffs also sued the CNRS for 1.2 million in damages, claiming that the CNRS report had "port atteinte leur honneur, leur rputation et leur crdit" ("undermined their honor, reputation and credit") and calling the report committee a "Stasi scientifique", but a tribunal ruled against them in 2015 and ordered them to pay 2,000. Bogdanoff subsequently described this version as "dating from 1991 and too unfinished to be made public". "[14], Others compared the quality of the Bogdanov papers with that seen over a wider arena. 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. "[24] The New York Times reported that the physicists David Gross, Carlo Rovelli, and Lee Smolin considered the Bogdanoff papers nonsensical. Igor Bogdanoff, the French TV star known for his eccentric personality and appearance, has died at 72.

Grichka Bogdanoff who is known as one of the Bogdanoff twins has passed away at the age of 72. But before his tragic death, . With the death of Grichka Bogdanoff, a whole part of the 1980s died out. She "chased him away", leading him to be absent from his sons' lives until they were ten years old, and subsequently divorced from Maya. Igor Yourievitch Bogdanoff and Grichka Yourievitch Bogdanoff who since the 1970s, the twin brothers have presented numerous issues in science . 1 min read. [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 2002, after publishing the requisite articles, Igor was given a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Burgundy. Grichka and Igor Bogdanoff, who were known as the Bogdanoff twins, have passed away at the age of 72. Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff starred in '80s French sci-fi shows. The hard part is identifying the quantum system to which the condition should be applied, which is not done in this paper. "[40] This was not confirmed officially by HKU and no Prof. Yang existed on the roster of the HKU physics department; nor did the university have an "International Institute of Mathematical Physics". 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. [20] Niedermaier suggested that the Bogdanoffs' Ph.D. theses and papers were "spoof[s]", created by throwing together instances of theoretical-physics jargon, including terminology from string theory: "The abstracts are delightfully meaningless combinations of buzzwords which apparently have been taken seriously. 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 brothers became a running gag in crypto following a series of parody videos in 2018 by the YouTube channel Bizonacci, which portrayed the Bogdanoffs as omnipotent market actors who conspire against an average crypto trader. However, Baez pointed out, this statement does not in fact concern the Big Bang, and is entirely equivalent to the following: No matter which way a pendulum swings, there is some point on the plane in which it swings. [70] The physicist John Baez compared the two events in his October 2002 post to the sci.physics.research newsgroup. The first was on December 29 and the second on January 3. . Jacques Distler argued that the tone of the media coverage had more to do with journalistic practices than with physics. 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. 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. (in German); Aprs consultation de tous les nobiliaires faisant autorit, aucun ne mentionne une quelconque famille de prince Bogdanoff: Patrick de Gmeline. Some corrections were requested. (And be sure that Jackiw, Kounnas, and Majid were not the only ones with this kind of a conclusion. [27], The statement was quoted in The New York Times,[11] The Chronicle of Higher Education,[12] and Nature. The police detained and interrogated Riazuelo. I first learned of the relevant papers in a posting on the internet by Dr. John Baez. [11] Posters on blogs and Usenet used the affair to criticize the present status of string theory; for the same reason, Peter Woit devoted a chapter of Not Even Wrong, a book emphatically critical of string theory, to the affair. "[7] Journalist and documentary filmmaker Maud Guillaumin, author of Le mystre Bogdanoff (L'Archipel, 2019), comprehensively examined the twins' account, noting it to comprise "approximations and historical inaccuracies"; she found that Yuri Bogdanoff had gone to Spain as a young man, and, unable to return to the USSR as he would have been considered a spy and imprisoned, went to France and began "a life of wandering from farm to Pyrenean farm" before, in 1948 aged 21, arriving at the castle of his future mother-in-law, "renowned in the Gers for employing Slavs". 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. The Bogdanoff brothers published a number of works in science fiction, philosophy and popular science. [2][3] In justifying the conferring of doctoral degrees to the Bogdanovs, Sternheimer told the Times, "These guys worked for 10 years without pay. Grichka died on 28 December,[55] and Igor died six days later, on 3 January 2022. Their mother Maya Kolowrat Bogdanoff was a result of an affair between Austrian grandmother Bertha Kolowrat-Krakowsk and African American Tenor Roland Hayes in 1925. ADS. "[11][6] Copies of the email reached American mathematical physicist John Baez, and on 23 October he created a discussion thread about the Bogdanovs' work on the Usenet newsgroup sci.physics.research, titled "Physics bitten by reverse Alan Sokal hoax? She tried to sustain her episodic relationship with Hayes after her divorce and his return to the United States, but declined his offer to legally adopt and raise their daughter, Maria, who became Igor and Grichka's mother. THE Bogdanoff twins were known for their extreme cosmetic enhancements - but there was more to their lives than plastic surgery. Drs Igor and Grichka Bogdanov, French mathematical physicists and twins, create stir in physics world with novel and highly speculative theory about what happened before Big Bang; scientists . Rather than suing Riazuelo for defamation, Bogdanoff filed a criminal complaint of copyright (droit d'auteur) violation against him in May 2011. [10] The story spread in public media, prompting Niedermaier to offer an apology to the Bogdanovs, admitting that he had not read the papers firsthand. 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. [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. Almost inevitably, this "balanced" approach sheds no light on the matter, and leaves the reader shaking his head, "There they go again"[32], Distler also suggested that the fact that the Bogdanovs had not uploaded their papers to the arXiv prior to publication, as was standard practice by that time, meant that the physics community must have paid vanishingly little attention to those papers before the hoax rumors broke. Now they look like crazy . In Calaque's estimation, the results presented in the preprint did not have sufficient novelty and interest to merit an independent journal article, and moreover the principal theorem was, in its current formulation, false: Grichka Bogdanov's construction yields a bialgebra which is not necessarily a Hopf algebra,[31] the latter being a type of mathematical object which must satisfy additional conditions. [49] According to former education minister Luc Ferry, a friend of the brothers, they had both received botox injections for cosmetic treatment. [58][59] Mia Jovanovi, the rector and owner of Megatrend University, wrote a preface for the Serbian edition of Avant le Big Bang. ; French Physicists' Cosmic Theory Creates a Big Bang of Its Own", "The Emperor's New Science: French TV Stars Rock the World of Theoretical Physics", "Ideas & Trends: In Theory, It's True (Or Not)", "France's Bogdanoff TV twins die of Covid six days apart", "INSPIRE-HEP citation information for Bogdanov papers", "Theses spark twin dilemma for physicists", "Physics bitten by reverse Alan Sokal hoax? [2] Both of the brothers received the lowest passing grade of "honorable", which is seldom given, as Daniel Sternheimer told The New York Times science reporter Dennis Overbye. [54], In 2014, the Bogdanovs sued the weekly magazine Marianne for defamation, on account of reporting the magazine had published in 2010[55] which had brought the CNRS report to light. [35][43], In 2005, the Bogdanoffs became professors at Megatrend University in Belgrade, where they were appointed to Chairs of Cosmology and made directors of the 'Megatrend Laboratory of Cosmology'. They lived a similar life in everything. (January 1987) based on the transcript of an interview of Carl Sagan by the twins. Physics bitten by reverse Alan Sokal hoax? "I say it solemnly, we have never used it," Grichka Bogdanoff said in an interview with Tl-Loisirs 2017. C.A. In 2010, the Sydney Morning Herald described the twins' cheekbones as "so high and bulbous as . [3] In 1993, the brothers began work toward doctorates, first working under the mathematical physicist Mosh Flato[fr] of the University of Burgundy. Participants in the discussions were particularly unconvinced by a statement in the "Topological origin of inertia" paper that "whatever the orientation, the plane of oscillation of Foucault's pendulum is necessarily aligned with the initial singularity marking the origin of physical space." Filed to: Scary. 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. The twin French TV producers first rose to online notoriety circa 2016 after a comical conspiracy theory about them appeared on 4chan. "[31] 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"). [34], Motl's measured support for "Topological field theory of the initial singularity of spacetime", however, stands in stark contrast to Robert Oeckl's official MathSciNet review, which 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. "[3], At the start of the controversy in the moderated group sci.physics.research, Igor Bogdanov denied that their published papers were a hoax,[16] but when asked precise questions from physicists Steve Carlip and John Baez regarding mathematical details in the papers, failed to convince any other participants that these papers had any real scientific value. In conclusion, I would not recommend that this paper be published in this, or any, journal. [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. Alas, it suffers from the usual journalistic conceit that a proper newspaper article must cover a "controversy". While the papers were full of rather abstruse prose about a wide variety of technical areas, it was easy to identify outright nonsense in the areas about which I had some expertise. The statement read, in part, Regrettably, despite the best efforts, the refereeing process cannot be 100% effective. [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. [9][10] The controversy over the Bogdanovs' work began on October 22, 2002, with an email sent by University of Tours physicist Max Niedermaier to University of Pittsburgh physicist Ezra T. The controversy began in 2002, with an allegation that the twins, popular celebrities in France for hosting science-themed TV shows, had obtained PhDs with nonsensical work. The New York Times reporter George Johnson described reading through the debate as "like watching someone trying to nail Jell-O to a wall", for the Bogdanovs had "developed their own private language, one that impinges on the vocabulary of science only at the edges."[4]. Reddit. Igor was the first born and his brother Grichka was born 40 minutes later. There's no denying that cosmetic procedures can completely transform someone's appearance, and that seems to be the case with the Bogdanoff twins. The scientific language was just an appearance behind which hid incompetence and ignorance of even basic physics.[24]. [3] His advisors subsequently agreed to allow him to obtain a doctorate if he could publish three peer-reviewed journal articles. There is no logic or cohesion in what they write. [61], In 2008, Presses de la Renaissance[fr] published L'quation Bogdanov: le secret de l'origine de l'univers? The TV personality's death came just six days after that of his identical twin brother Grichka, who died on 28 December. French news outlets have reported that Grichka, who was best known for his work alongside twin brother Igor . I'm a little surprised that anyone is surprised at this. [39], 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. [51], Igor Bogdanoff had six children, four from his first marriage and two from his second. [32][33], The CNRS report summarized the Bogdanoffs' theses thus: "Ces thses nont pas de valeur scientifique. [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. The paper was discussed extensively at the annual Editorial Board meeting and there was general agreement that it should not have been published. The whole matter of respective accusations of plagiarism went on, but was eventually stopped short by . [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. Well, let's see. Igor was born 40 minutes before Grichka. [46] This scandal, combined with the presence of the Bogdanoffs, contributed to an atmosphere of controversy surrounding Megatrend. Posted in . [47][48] In November 2005, this led the Arbitration Committee, a dispute resolution panel that acts as the project's court of last resort, to ban anyone deemed to be a participant in the external dispute from editing the English Wikipedia's article on the Bogdanov Affair. 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). Though the family of her mother shuns her after engaging in an affair with an African-American musician. They're kind of famous for presenting scientific information in a science fiction way, even publishing entire advanced physics essays of quite literally nonsense and getting them . Igor was born 40 minutes before Grichka. Scientists accused the pair of publishing misleading papers that outlined a theory of what happened before and after the Big Bang, among other things. French TV star, Igor Bogdanoff, has died aged 72 after catching COVID-19 - just six days after his twin brother Grichka passed away from the virus. That's all I ask.[2]. Le Monde quoted Alain Connes, recipient of the 1982 Fields Medal, as saying, "I didn't need long to convince myself that they're talking about things that they haven't mastered. I couldn't believe it. These brothers fuck. Presenter Grichka Bogdanoff has died at the age of 72. The funeral of French twin brothers, the faces of a famed 1980s science TV programme who later won notoriety for their cosmetic surgery, was held in Paris Monday after the pair died within a week . Frank Wilczek, who edited Annals of Physics (and who would later share the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics), told the press that the scandal motivated him to correct the journal's slipping standards, partly by assigning more reviewing duties to the editorial board.[3]. Overbye wrote that Jackiw was intrigued by the thesis, although it contained many points he did not understand. [56] They were 72 and both were unvaccinated. When your name is used without your consent, it's a violation. It showed some originality and some familiarity with the jargon. The death of Igor Bogdanoff, 72, was confirmed on Monday evening by his lawyer Edouard de Lamaze, as well as his agent. Bertha Kolowrat-Krakowsk belonged to the noble Kolowrat family of Bohemia and was married to Count Hieronymus Colloredo-Mannsfeld (18701942), a member of the Austrian princely house of Colloredo-Mannsfeld. Genealogist William Addams Reitwiesner observed: "The Bogdanov twins claim that their father was a member of a princely Russian family. Having found a copy of one of the relevant papers available online, I posted that "the referee clearly didn't even glance at it." Replying on sci.physics.research,[72] Sokal referred readers to his follow-up essay,[73] in which he notes "the mere fact of publication of my parody" only proved that the editors of one particular journaland a "rather marginal" one at thathad applied a lax intellectual standard. [2] He originally applied for a degree in physics, but was instead given one in mathematics, and was first required to significantly rewrite his thesis, de-emphasizing the physics content. (The Bogdanov Equation: The Secret of the Origin of the Universe? [3] Soon after, Freidel denied writing any such remarks, telling the press that he had forwarded a message containing that text to a friend. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Though people are convinced that they used implants, botox, and fillers to stretch their faces, the twins always claimed that's wasn't true. 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. Both the book and the Bogdanovs' television shows have been criticized for elementary scientific and mathematical inaccuracies. Sometimes a referee makes a mistake. Much mystery surrounds the biography of the twins, who have encountered numerous legal problems. They were 72. [51], Alain Riazuelo, an astrophysicist at the Institut d'astrophysique de Paris, participated in many of the online discussions of the Bogdanovs' work. Read more: [5 accurate crypto trader memes to help navigate this hellscape industry]But Igor and Grichka became the center of academic controversy starting in 2002. The Bogdanovs' background in entertainment lent some plausibility to the idea that they were attempting a deliberate hoax, but Igor Bogdanov quickly denied the accusation.
