“About a year ago,” says David A. Goldberg of the University of Maryland, “in a moment of giddiness following the completion of a paper (my mind still swimming in a haze of references) I created the following list. The authors of these ‘papers’ are all practicing physicists, many of whom are known to me personally or through their published works, although I have had to resort to the latest APS directory for a number of the names. The titles of the ‘papers,’ while plausible, are all to my knowledge fictitious.”
