Would a scientist, let alone a scientist who is the cause of fundamental changes, rather work to make progress on her or his work, or sue anyone who had the impudence to contradict her or him? Knowing that falsifiability is at the heart of a serious scientific approach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You may think this is obviously a rhetoric question, but its answer does not seem to be obvious for the Bogdanoff twins. At least, their recent interview with the French newspaper Le\u00a0Figaro<\/em><\/a> seems to attest it. As this interview deserves to be questioned, I propose to do so, as viewed from here.<\/p>\n

Please forgive me the unusual length of this article, but in this case great care should be taken to explain the different data. Furthermore, as I will discuss about French personalities, several references will be in French. Also, one of the subject of this article will be the Big\u00a0Bang theory. Therefore, I invite you to read the article about it I have published recently<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To be honest, as these twins are of little interest to me (the purpose of this article is rather to discuss about the misuse of science), my experience does not relate on a significant sample. However, as I can reasonably consider this blog (incidentally quite unknown) is not read only by French people, and as it seems to me that the reputation of the Bogdanoff brothers does not exceed the borders of France, it is better that I start in introduce them to you.<\/p>\n

From what planet come the Bogdanoff brothers?<\/h2>\n

French audience started to hear about Gr\u00e9goire and Igor Bogdanoff in 1976, when they published quite a good essay about science fiction: Clefs pour la science-fiction<\/em><\/a>1<\/sup><\/a>G. and I. Bogdanoff, 1976. Clefs pour la science-fiction, Seghers.<\/span><\/span>
