"
Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity
"
I know that sounds like pure BS, and it was! This article was a hoax perpetrated by Alan Sokal, published in
Social Text
at the height of the
Science Wars
.
In it, by presenting carefully worded nonsense, Dr. Sokal illustrated the lack of intellectual rigor practiced by postmodernist critics who had little understanding of the science they criticized.
A marvelous hoax!
