Look at this preprint: http://arxiv.org/abs/1011.5120 called "Symmetries and Strings in Field Theory and Gravity" by Banks and Seiberg. Read it sentence by sentence. It is incredible.
Not a single sentence is about physics. Not a single sentence is about nature. Not a single sentence makes sense.
Now, these two people are not stupid. They are smart by any usual standard. They are well-known. They are professors of physics in the best institutions. Nevertheless, they write complete nonsense.
What is going on here? How can two men devote their full professional life to write nonsense? In a few years, hopefully, psychological research will answer this question.
