published a "popular science" book in France three months ago, and
appeared on about all conceivable media and TV/Radio show, presenting
themselves as the ones who explained the origin of the Universe.

The book contains an impressive number of blunders and misconceptions on
elementary pregraduate mathematics and physics, moreover they falsify
texts from Urs Schreiber and Peter Woit and defames numerous people,
including John Baez.

These last weeks they are hysterically present on fr.sci.*physique,
trying to fake people by using fake names but never answered to
any question about the *content* of their book.

The book, "Before the Big Bang" is about to be published in english
speaking country, in case one would want an "avant premi=E8re" here
is a rough translation of some of the bigger blunders from
"Avant le Big Bang" :
