Two papers by Max Planck, the legendary Nobel laureate in physics, were retracted by Springer Nature in 2011, likely due to an algorithm flagging the papers for self-plagiarism and copyright infringement. Read on for how stupid it all is. 🧪

Why have papers by one of history’s most famous physicists been retracted?
Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck. A bot may be to blame

Hallitus lanseerasi kehysriihessä ennennäkemättömän kuvion. 20M€ tutkijoiden itse hankkimasta EU-rahasta lasketaan lain mukaiseksi t&k-lisärahoitukseksi ja valtion omia panostuksia vähennetään saman verran. Järjestelmätasolla tällainen ajattelu luo käsittämättömän anti-insentiivin.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I applied in 2025. In step 1, the reviews found just one fault in my proposal: they doubted the feasibility of the (methodologically ambitious) project. -> B. In 2026 they stopped assessing feasibility in step 1. Now they decided that I can't apply in 2027 because of that B in 2025.

The "Vienna circle" likely refers to Vienna's historic
Ringstrasse cafes, such as
Café Schwarzenberg and
Café Landtmann, which are
located along the famous city boulevard. These are traditional Viennese coffee houses, known for their elegant atmosphere, history, and as important social and intellectual hubs.
