HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Nonsense paper written by iOS autocomplete accepted for conference: New Zealand professor asked to present his work at US event on nuclear physics despite it containing gibberish all through the copy. “The text really does not make any sense.”

I don’t think this is an Alan Sokal-level hoax. I think instead that this is one of those bogus conferences that will accept any paper, allowing professors to fill their vita with “presentations” while spending their travel budgets.
