String Theory of Semiology ! Ostensibly a hoax originating in France (via Jorn), full of gobbledygook pseudo-science linking quantum gravity and string theory with information models. The motive was probably originally to ridicule quantum information theories, but it succeeded in “fooling” learned publishing referees and escaped into the world as a serious scientific paper. However – could this be another case of “Many a true word …” ? (How many serious, respected theoreticians have produced suspect mathematics to justify their intuitions ? – Remember Einstein’s gaff, and see the Heisenberg link below.)

Hoax or Scam ?
Hoax or Scam ?. Thanks to Rivets for this weird link. Someone going for the most linked site record ?
Broken Links !
Spent some time last evening browsing old links, around a year old, in several blogs, including my own and Jorn’s, in prepraration for organising links and references and found countless links broken. Most news feeds would seem to have expiry times on their published pages. I guess the answer is if something you blog is important to you beyond the moment, then cache yourself a copy.
