The shocking discovery of the shortest article ever published in Physical Review (1951), a serious physics journal. Two sentences. Moreover, the article relates 6*pi^5 to the ultimate structure of physical reality. pic.twitter.com/Gs1ERmLjXu

A Two-Sentence Paper in Physical Review
Yes, that's right: the entire paper is two sentences. There are various short abstracts (with a couple that consist of just one word) — such as those described here, here, and here — but this is the first time that I have seen an entire paper that is this short.
