The publisher Springer claims it can only discuss why it retracted some of Planck's papers with... Planck!
But until they hold a seance, they are happy to sell you completely redacted versions: blank pages for $39.95 or more each.

@johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz That is insane. Like actually insane. I hope the papers are at least mirrored somewhere else. If Springer doesn't want them I know ones things for sure, the rest of the world does. Stupid company probably ran an LLM for unoriginal ideas or something.
