    • Hänggi's Law

    The following statement attributed as Hänggi's Law [2].

    Peter Hänggi httpswwwphysikuniaugsburgdetheo1GroupPic
    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.
