Subject: SOKAL, PHYSICS, AND POSTMODERNISM IN NY TIMES


Rahul and other interested parties, you should check out yet
another shoddy piece of science popularization in the wake of the
Sokal affair:

Horgan, John.  "Science set free from truth", THE NEW YORK TIMES,
16 July 1996, p. A17.

Truly disgusting.  But is it not also true that physicists are
also responsible for shameful mystification in their own field?
And what do you think of superstring theory?
