Description: John Baez' take on this "reverse Sokal" hoax, where meaningless papers were published in physics journals. This may or may not have actually been intended as a hoax.
We all laughed when the physicist Alan Sokal wrote a deliberately silly paper entitled , and managed to get it accepted by a journal of social and cultural studies, But in 2002, on the 22nd of October many of us began hearing rumors that two brothers managed to publish at least five meaningless papers in physics journals as a hoax - and even got Ph.D. degrees in physics from Bourgogne University on the basis of this work!
