The most important scientific article in 2009

[Andrey Kurtenkov]

The most important scientific article in 2009 is dedicated to the role of Pastafarianism (Пастафарианство) as new megaparadigm in the context of the progressive aggression of late years of the religion "scientists":
Марков, А.В., 2009, Новая мегапарадигма научного познания, Экология и жизнь, 13 (4(89): 94-96;
Markov, A.V., 2009, A new megaparadigm of scientific knowledge, Ecology and life, 13 (4(89): 94-96.

http://rogov.zwz.ru/Macroevolution/pastafarian.pdf (only the mentioned article)
Unfortunately the paper is only in Russian language (the negativism against monopoly of the English language in the world science is increasing more and more); only the table of content is available in English.

Can you give us just the important points in English?

[Andrey Kurtenkov]

With the help of the unlimited power of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (in Russian - Летающий Макаронный Монстр) the author ridicules the expansion of religious ideas in all fields of the human knowledge.

Thanks, Andrei!
The original purpose is being extended. That's wonderful. I bet Bobby's pleased.

I would be interested in reading it in English. I know you probably don't want to translate it, but if you ever find a lot of time on your hands...

Is anybody up for plugging it into Google translator? I bet the results would be really entertaining!

Sadly, it's not online. The only reference to it is this thread…

Oh, except for the list of the year's published papers.

I found what I think is the full article at his link on "the issue". But it was in some kind of flash viewer that would not allow for cut and paste. I don't think I'm up for retyping cyrillic.
