Who are the Bogdanoff twins? 

The Bogdanoffs, who are descended from European aristocracy, first debuted on television in 1979, hosting the 1980s TV show Temps X, which was one of the country's earliest science fiction series.

They went on to appear on a variety of science shows, mostly dealing with science fiction and space exploration.

Grichka and Igor became entangled in the "Bogdanoff affair" in 2001, when a series of articles written by the brothers describing what they claimed happened during the Big Bang was published in renowned peer-reviewed scientific journals, despite a later assessment indicating their theses had no scientific merit.

The Bogdanoff brothers have become well-known personalities in the bitcoin industry in recent years and featured on the French version of The Masked Singer in 2020.
