It was on August 29, 1949 that the famous twins were born, but very little is known about their lives, they who preferred to leave doubts and areas of mystery hovering. Grichka Bogdanoff and Igor are passionate about aeronautics and science fiction. They claim to have had their baccalaureate at the age of 14 and claim to have obtained the following diplomas: advanced studies (DEA) in semiology and doctorate in theoretical physics for Igor; graduated from the Institut d’études politiques de Paris (Sciences-Po) and a doctorate in mathematics for Grichka.
They released their first book in 1976: Keys to science fiction. The reception is good and the twins find themselves facing Yves Mourousi on the 1pm newspaper. This is where their career in the audiovisual industry begins since the presenter of the JT offers them to host, in his show Enjoy your meal, a sequence devoted to robots and aliens. Then, they hold a column on science fiction in the program of Antenne 2, One out of five, moderated by Patrice Laffont. In 1979, they are at the head of their own show, Time X, on TF1 until 1987.
The successes follow one another but Grichka and Igor Bogdanoff decide to finally devote themselves to a doctorate on primordial cosmology. Grichka Bogdanoff wrote Quantum fluctuations of the signature of the metric at the Planck scale. Igor Bogdanoff: Topological state of space-time at zero scale.
The two brothers then returned to television: Project X 13 on 13th street, X-rays, on France 2 then a few years later, on the same channel, Science X.
