Sokal wrote " Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity ", an article proposing that quantum gravity has progressive political implications, and that the " morphogenetic field " ( characterized by Sokal as " a bizarre New Age concept due to Rupert Sheldrake ") could be a cutting-edge theory of quantum gravity.
