In 1996, Alan Sokal, a physics professor at NYU submitted an article in the prestigious journal Social Text, addressing the nature of science at the intersection pf physics and feminist philosophy. After publication, Sokal revealed it to be a sham. In 1989, Dr. Stanley Pons and Dr. Martin Fleischmann claimed to have achieved cold fusion, to be later rebuked as junk science. But was it really voodoo science?
