Summary
This opinion piece by Marcelo Leite discusses the phenomenon of "cancel culture" in the context of academic retractions, using the surprising case of two articles by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Max Planck being retracted for alleged plagiarism. The author reflects on how even historical scientific giants are not immune to modern cancelation dynamics, and connects this to broader cultural trends involving quantum mechanics being co-opted by esoteric influencers.
