In 2015, the journal published an "article that points not only to a potential cure for autism, but also a means of creating mystical, all-wise elephants", authored by Otto Rössler.[2] In 2018, the journal published an article by proponents of panspermia, including Chandra Wickramasinghe, that proposed that octopuses may have originally arrived on Earth from space, following "a year of intense peer-review".[3]
