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. The death of Igor Bogdanoff, 72, was confirmed on Monday evening by his lawyer Edouard de Lamaze, as well as his agent. The Bogdanoff family decided against disclosing the cause of Grichka's death, too. They died of coronavirus within days of each other in . themselves qualified as "extraterrestrials". (in German); Aprs consultation de tous les nobiliaires faisant autorit, aucun ne mentionne une quelconque famille de prince Bogdanoff: Patrick de Gmeline. [28][50][51] The twins "went along with their meme fame", according to Business Insider, and said they predicted cryptocurrency in the 1980s on Temps X. Grichka Bogdanoff who is known as one of the Bogdanoff twins has passed away at the age of 72. [15], In October 2004, a journalist from Ciel et Espace interviewed Shahn Majid of Queen Mary, University of London about his report on Grichka Bogdanov's thesis.

Rather than suing Riazuelo for defamation, Bogdanov filed a criminal complaint of copyright (droit d'auteur) violation against him in May 2011. [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. "[44] Later, Majid claimed in a Usenet post that, in an addendum to Avant Le Big Bang, Grichka intentionally misquoted Majid's opinion on the way this interview had been transcribed. 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. However, as per the news, Grichka has passed away at the age of 72. 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]. [10], The brothers began careers in television, hosting several popular programs on science and science fiction. Since 1991, they signed their books as "Bogdanov", preferring "v" to "ff". [3] His advisors subsequently agreed to allow him to obtain a doctorate if he could publish three peer-reviewed journal articles. THE Bogdanoff twins were known for their extreme cosmetic enhancements - but there was more to their lives than plastic surgery. "[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". The twin French TV producers first rose to online notoriety circa 2016 after a comical conspiracy theory about them appeared on 4chan. Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff were French celebrities best known for producing the science fiction television series Temps X and their involvement in a theoretical physics dispute known as the Bogdanoff affair. Rather than suing Riazuelo for defamation, Bogdanoff filed a criminal complaint of copyright (droit d'auteur) violation against him in May 2011. After several rounds of plastic surgery and botox, the brothers ended up with a shocking appearance. Well, let's see. 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 weekly was eventually ordered to pay 64,000 euros in damages, a quantity less than the Bogdanovs had originally demanded (in excess of 800,000 euros each). The Bogdanovs have claimed that the "domain name 'th-phys.edu.hk' was owned by Hong Kong University. [2][3] In justifying the conferring of doctoral degrees to the Bogdanovs, Sternheimer told the Times, "These guys worked for 10 years without pay. 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. [46] This scandal, combined with the presence of the Bogdanoffs, contributed to an atmosphere of controversy surrounding Megatrend. Grichka and Igor Bogdanoff, Twins in an Uneasy Spotlight, Die at 72. . [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". [12], Suspicions were consequently raised that Professor L. Yang was actually a pseudonym of the Bogdanovs. Lettre du Dr Stanislaw W.

[15], In 2002, the Bogdanoffs launched a new weekly television show, Rayons X (X Rays), on the French public channel France 2. Artiste-peintre, il s'tait tabli Saint-Lary avec son pouse Maya, avant la naissance de leurs premiers enfants, Igor et Grichka. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. [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]. 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. Two unvaccinated French TV star twin brothers, who made their name on a science programme in the 1980s before becoming famous for their cosmetic surgery, have died within a week of each other from Covid-19, friends and family confirmed. Both unfortunately succumbed to complications related to COVID. Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels, Frstliche Huser XIX.

(According to The New York Times, Sokal was "almost disappointed" that the Bogdanovs had not attempted a hoax after his own style. [20] Moreover, Die Zeit quoted Nicolai as saying that had the paper reached his desk, he would have immediately rejected it. Described in The New York Times as . [11] Nobel laureate Georges Charpak later stated on a French talk show that the Bogdanoffs' presence in the scientific community was "nonexistent". [3] In 1993, the brothers began work toward doctorates, first working under the mathematical physicist Mosh Flato[fr] of the University of Burgundy. Eventually, the controversy attracted mainstream media attention, opening new avenues for physicists' comments to be disseminated. Surely you've seen bad papers published in good journals before this! The statement read, in part, Regrettably, despite the best efforts, the refereeing process cannot be 100% effective. 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 . Though people are convinced that they used implants, botox, and fillers to stretch their faces, the twins always claimed that's wasn't true. "[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. [3][8] Around the same time, Igor Bogdanov failed the defense of his thesis. The fifth and last "result", Schreiber notes, is an attempt to resolve this contradiction by "invok[ing] quantum mechanics". [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. [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. A source close to the brothers told French outlet Le Monde that neither had been . Igor was born 40 minutes before Grichka. Newman. [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 Bogdanoffs' background in entertainment lent some plausibility to the idea that they were attempting a deliberate hoax, but Igor Bogdanoff quickly denied the accusation. 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"). Both were 72. FRENCH star Grichka Bogdanoff, 72, sadly passed away on Tuesday after a battle with Covid-19.But before his tragic death, he and his brother Igor were . The paper was discussed extensively at the annual Editorial Board meeting and there was general agreement that it should not have been published. [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. ", "Les frres Bogdanov, la science et les mdias", "Physics hoaxers discover Quantum Bogosity", "Referee report for "Topological theory of the initial singularity of spacetime", "If not a hoax, it's still an embarrassment", "Referee report for "Topological Origin of Inertia", "Referee report for "The KMS state of spacetime at the Planck scale", "Re: Physics bitten by reverse Alan Sokal hoax? Newman. I am writing this just to point out what I think are the central 'ideas' the authors had when writing their articles and how this led them to their conclusions.[30]. 05/19/10 07:41PM. [14][26] However, Igor Bogdanov has maintained that Professor Yang is a real mathematical physicist with expertise in KMS theory, a friend of his, and that he was posting anonymously from Igor's apartment. 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. [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. 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. Elsewhere, an added word demonstrated, according to Majid, that "Bogdanov does not understand his own draft results." 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." [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". Having found a copy of one of the relevant papers available online, I posted that "the referee clearly didn't even glance at it." [3] Soon after, Freidel denied writing any such remarks, telling the press that he had forwarded a message containing that text to a friend. 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. Identical twins Igor Bogdanoff and Grichka Bogdanoff at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival are now aged 71. "[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. The report stated that "the viewpoint presented in this paper can be interesting as a possible approach of the Planck scale physics." [60] This scandal, combined with the presence of the Bogdanovs, contributed to an atmosphere of controversy surrounding Megatrend. [2][3][4] The first of these, Temps X (Time X), ran from 1979 to 1989. "[25], After the start of the Usenet discussion, most comments were critical of the Bogdanovs' work. 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. [38], The police detained and interrogated Riazuelo. Igor followed him on Monday. 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. In conclusion, I would not recommend that this paper be published in this, or any, journal. They died of coronavirus within days of each other in . . "[2] As he told The Chronicle of Higher Education, Sternheimer did not consider himself an expert in all the topics Grichka Bogdanov included in his thesis, but judged that those portions within his specialty were PhD-quality work. "[8] The New York Times reported that the physicists David Gross, Carlo Rovelli and Lee Smolin considered the Bogdanov papers nonsensical. [56] The Bogdanovs also sued the CNRS for 1.2 million euros 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 euros. Now they look like crazy . 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). 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". bogdanoff twins tv show crew dies. Yikes. Bogdanoff Twins Before and After Surgery - Grichka Bogdanoff Plastic Surgery Update. Alas, I was completely mistaken. 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. I recommend the paper for publication but in a revised form. [57][58][15] The funeral for both twins was held on 10 January 2022, in the Church of the Madeleine, in Paris, France.[59]. [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"). [2][10], The Bogdanov brothers themselves participated in the online discussions, sometimes using pseudonyms or represented by friends acting as proxies. The Bogdanoffs quickly became a popular discussion topic, with most respondents agreeing that the papers were flawed. 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. 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 . In 2002, after publishing the requisite articles, Igor was given a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Burgundy. The twins came from European nobility - but their relatives had their fair share of scandal. French TV star Igor Bogdanoff has passed away aged 72 after catching Covid, reports say. [25], Both Baez and, later, Peter Woit noted that content was largely repeated from one Bogdanov paper to another.[12][26]. [21] Later, the editor-in-chief of the journal issued a slightly different statement on behalf of the Institute of Physics, which owns the journal, in which he insisted on the fact that their usual peer-review procedures had been followed, but no longer commented on the value of the paper. 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]. "[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". 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. [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". This has been the basis of concerns raised about the efficacy of the peer-review system that the scientific community and academia use to determine the merit of submitted manuscripts for publication; one concern is that over-worked and unpaid referees may not be able to thoroughly judge the value of a paper in the little time they can afford to spend on it. see the stunning before and after photos here! ADS. "[2], In 2001 and 2002 the brothers published five papers in peer-reviewed physics journals, including Annals of Physics and Classical and Quantum Gravity. In May 2001, the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity (CQG) reviewed an article authored by Igor and Grichka Bogdanov, titled "Topological theory of the initial singularity of spacetime". During the twins' early days, their mother allegedly translates for German forces occupying the region. "[14], Others compared the quality of the Bogdanov papers with that seen over a wider arena. 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]. 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. La Dpche du Midi prsente ses condolances la famille (Youra Bogdanof)". He died just six days after his brother Grichka Bogdanoff passed away in a . it does not surprise me much that Roman Jackiw said that the paper satisfied everything he expects from an acceptable paperthe knowledge of the jargon and some degree of original ideas. "[11] Woit later devoted a chapter of his book Not Even Wrong (2006) to the Bogdanov affair.[26]. But the most famous paper about the solution of the initial singularity is a bit different; it is more sophisticated. The online discussion was quickly followed by media attention. 45. 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). 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). [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. ditions Contrepoint, 1978, Almanach de Gotha 1918, Almanach de Gotha 1940, Almanach de Gotha, 2013. [15], In October 2002, the Bogdanovs released an email containing apparently supportive statements by Laurent Freidel, then a visiting professor at the Perimeter Institute. [49] According to former education minister Luc Ferry, a friend of the brothers, they had both received botox injections for cosmetic treatment. He added that the fact some journals and scientific institutions have low or variable standards is "hardly a revelation". Majid said that the French version of his report on Grichka's thesis was "an unauthorized translation partially invented by the Bogdanovs." The journal Classical and Quantum Gravity (CQG) published one of the Bogdanoffs' papers, titled "Topological field theory of the initial singularity of spacetime";[26] Ian Russell, assistant director of its journals division, later issued a statement stating that "we deployed our standard peer-review process on that paper. Starke Verlag, 2011, pp. In August 2004, they presented a 90-minute special cosmology program. 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. 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.. On Tuesday, December 28, Grichka Bogdanoff, one of the two renowned Bogdanoff twins, passed away at the age of 72. The television presenter passed away just days after his identical twin, Grichka. Comment. [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".
