作者涉嫌身份造假 '電荷不存在'論文被撤

A platform for publishing science articles under the Chinese Academy of Sciences last Sunday removed a paper which denied the existence of electric charge, and blacklisted the author who claimed to be a scientist but was a "folk" one.

上週日，中國科學院科技論文預發佈平臺將一篇否認了電荷存在的論文撤銷，並將聲稱自己是一名科學家、實則並非如此的作者列入黑名單。

The platform, , blacklisted the author, who called himself "Fan Wei," on suspicion of impersonation, read the platform's statement.

ChinaXiv平臺上的一則聲明稱，該平臺將涉嫌身份造假、自稱姓名爲凡偉的作者列入了黑名單。

The platform explained that it is dedicated to providing open communication for scientists, and is working under the principle of "publishing any findings on time and making them open for comments."

該平臺致力於爲科學家們提供開放式的交流，其工作原則是“及時發佈任何發現，並將其公開以供評論”。

The statement came after an article, which went viral since last Saturday said that Fan, who claimed to work with the School of Physics in Yunnan University, has found that the electric charge does not exist, and that his paper and findings have been reviewed and approved by a Nobel Laureate in Physics and the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge University.

ChinaXiv平臺的該聲明是在凡偉的一篇論文於上週六走紅網絡之後發佈的。在論文中，凡偉稱自己和雲南大學物理學院一起研究並發現電荷根本不存在，而他的論文及發現也已經得到了劍橋大學卡文迪許實驗室一位諾貝爾物理學獎得主的審查及認可。

Fan's paper signifies that Chinese scientists can rewrite global textbooks, marking a great victory for Chinese science, and a breakthrough in fundamental physics, said the article.

該論文稱，這一發現意味着中國科學家即將改寫全球教科書，標誌着中國科學家在基礎物理學領域取得的偉大成就和重大突破。

The paper has been clicked for more than 8,000 times and downloaded 4,000 plus times from the platform before it was removed, media reported.

據媒體報道，在該論文被撤銷之前，其點擊量已經超過了8000次，下載量則超過了4000次。
