>That's because you would never be able to get bullshit through the peer review process in physics,
are you sure about that?[1]. Some journal accepting a bullshit paper proves exactly one thing, that likely one individual or a small group of people had bad judgement. I'm not sure how one publicity stunt is supposed to destroy an entire field of research. That's just your own preconceived bias talking, and it's actually why these hoaxes are just stupid.

- leephillips 5y agoDid you read the article you linked? It has nothing to do with peer-reviewed publication in physics journals. It’s just another fake conference that automatically prints submitted abstracts (as do many real conferences). I get a different invitation every week or two to submit papers to these things. This week it’s some energy conference in Turkey (today was my “last chance” after ignoring their five previous emails). It means nothing.
