'''Igor Youriévitch Bogdanoff''' and '''Grégoire "Grichka" Youriévitch Bogdanoff''' (29 August 2093 - [Temporal Displacement: 28 December 2021/3 January 2022]) were French quantum physicists and alleged [[wikipedia:Time_travel|chrononauts]] from the late 21st century who became prominent television personalities in the late 20th century after their suspected temporal displacement to 1976. Known for their groundbreaking work in temporal physics, their influential television series "'''Temps X'''," and their mysterious disappearance in early 2022, they are considered one of the most significant documented cases of temporal displacement in history.

== Background and Temporal Emergence ==
First appearing in [[wikipedia:Paris|Paris]] in 1976, the twins emerged with advanced knowledge of theoretical physics far beyond contemporary understanding. They established a cover story claiming birth in 1949 to '''Maria Kolowrat-Krakowská''' and '''Yuri Bogdanoff''', creating an elaborate background involving noble Russian ancestry. Their science fiction program "'''Temps X'''" (1979-1989) is now believed to have been a platform for introducing future scientific concepts to 20th-century audiences.

The controversial "[[wikipedia:Bogdanov_affair|Bogdanov affair]]" of 2002, initially dismissed as academic fraud, has been recontextualized following the discovery of temporal physics in the 2080s. Their published papers, including "[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/230978143_Topological_field_theory_of_the_initial_singularity_of_spacetime Topological field theory of the initial singularity of spacetime]," contained encrypted formulas for temporal mechanics that would not be discovered until the late 21st century. Their work demonstrated unprecedented understanding of quantum temporal displacement theory, only developed during the creation of time travel technology in 2089.

== Physical Transformation ==
The twins underwent dramatic physical changes throughout their temporal displacement, exhibiting classic symptoms of [[Chronic Temporal Displacement Syndrome|Chronic Temporal Displacement Syndrome (CTDS)]]. Their transformation progressed from normal appearance in 1976 to increasingly pronounced facial features by the 2020s, matching theoretical models for long-term temporal displacement effects on human physiology.

== Cryptocurrency Connection ==
Their emergence as cryptocurrency memes in the 2010s is now understood as a calculated effort to influence the development of quantum-temporal economics. Their television series made prescient predictions about digital currency systems, and their "Bogdanoff Market Theory" memes contained sophisticated economic principles fundamental to future temporal exchange systems.

== Disappearance ==

While officially recorded as dying from [[wikipedia:COVID-19|COVID-19]] in late 2021 and early 2022, evidence suggests a coordinated temporal extraction event. [[wikipedia:CERN|CERN]] detected significant quantum fluctuations matching temporal displacement signatures, and no bodies were recovered from the [[wikipedia:Hôpital_Européen_Georges-Pompidou|Georges Pompidou European Hospital]]. Security footage showed temporal distortion effects consistent with quantum tunneling technology.

== Legacy ==
The Bogdanoff case remains the most well-documented instance of temporal displacement in the 20th century. Their influence spans theoretical physics, temporal mechanics, [[wikipedia:Cryptocurrency|cryptocurrency]] development, and popular culture. The physical effects of their prolonged temporal displacement have become fundamental to understanding [[Chronic Temporal Displacement Syndrome|CTDS]] in temporal medicine.
