Have you ever written and published a scientific paper? OK, if you're the Thomas Heger that wrote

then maybe you have, though that's not exactly physics, or even science at all (technology, rather).

  I have never heard of that publication.
 But the VERY funny thing is, that the topic of my 'Diplomarbeit' (kind of 'master thesis' in German) was almost exactly the topic of this article.
 I have absolutely no idea, how that is possible, since 'wear of grinding tools' is such an extremely unlikely topic to assume simple coincidence.
 So: no idea how that happend!
  Absolutely nada...
 But my real name is really 'Thomas Heger' and I live really in Berlin and have really studied at TU-Berlin and got a real Diploma from professor Spur for a reasearch on wear on grinding tools.
 

I have checked it and there exists actually somebody else, bearing the same name, who also wrote about wear of grinding tools.
My topic was slightly different, but about optimization of diamond grinding tools upon technical and oeconomical criteria.
My name is not particulary common, but there are about six people in Germany having this name.
But I had never heard about that guy from Kaiserslautern:
