Hänggi's Law
The following statement attributed as Hänggi's Law .
The more trivial your research, the more people will read it and agree
Seemingly it is a kind of Murphy's law and it was first seen in Arthur Bloch's work. However attribute's relation to Professor Haenggi's research is not clear.
Corollaries:
- The more vital your research, the fewer people will understand it.
- You write a nontrivial paper and you likely will be the only one who will remember it.
