The story of Bogdanoff and Smine, also known as the “Bogdanoff Brothers,” has become a source of fascination and controversy within the scientific community. The brothers, Grichka and Igor Bogdanoff, are French television personalities and physicist who have published several papers on theoretical physics, cosmology and transhumanism, but who have also been accused of scientific fraud, plagiarism and of publishing nonsensical papers.

Background
Grichka and Igor Bogdanoff were born in the Soviet Union but later moved to France, where they have become well-known figures in the media. They have hosted several science-related television shows, and have also published several papers on topics such as theoretical physics, cosmology, and transhumanism.
Controversies
However, the brothers have also been the subject of significant controversy within the scientific community. In 2002, a group of physicists published a paper in which they claimed that the Bogdanoff’s papers were “nonsensical” and “mathematically incorrect.” Additionally, in 2003, a group of French scientists accused the brothers of plagiarism and scientific fraud, claiming that they had taken text from other papers and republished it as their own.
Plagiarism
In 2003, a group of French scientists published a report that highlighted several instances of plagiarism in papers authored by the brothers. They claim that the Bogdanoffs had copied passages from other papers without proper attribution and had also manipulated figures to make their work appear more groundbreaking.
Nonsensical papers
In 2002, a group of physicists published a paper in which they claimed that the Bogdanoff’s papers were “nonsensical” and “mathematically incorrect.” They stated that the brothers had used a mixture of known mathematical concepts and invented concepts which are not related to physics and created mathematical equations that have no physical meaning.
Criticisms
Critics have also pointed out that the brothers have been unable to replicate their own results, and that their work has been rejected by peer-reviewers. Many experts in the field have stated that their work is not only unoriginal but also contains numerous mistakes and misconceptions. They also pointed out that their work is not based on any scientific evidence, and that it is not peer-reviewed by any scientific journal.
Conclusion
The story of the Bogdanoff brothers is a complicated one, with accusations of scientific fraud and plagiarism on one hand and claims of revolutionary breakthroughs on the other. While their work has been the subject of significant controversy, it is clear that they have had a significant impact on the way that the scientific community views their work and the importance of scientific integrity. Ultimately, it is up to the scientific community to evaluate the validity and quality of their work and make their own conclusions. It’s important to note, that The Bogdanoff case is still ongoing and these accusations were never confirmed by any official scientific society or organization.
