Yeah that's why I posted the Snopes link - point is the original story went viral and I was amazed how quickly the claims were debunked
The claims date to 2022, not 2025.

Ok, but why would two tenured academics make such a claim to an international audience risking their reputations and careers? something doesn't make sense.
Why would two people with a long history of peddling pseudoscientific bunk publish a book peddling pseudoscientific bunk? They wanna get that bag.
Some people will be persuaded before the claims are debunked, but even after that occurs people without a shred of critical thinking will still peddle the claims made and just rely on conspiratorial thinking to ignore the arguments debunking the claims. People who are emotionally invested in BS often engage in double-think to avoid having to consider that they might have been duped because they want to feel special and believe that "doing their own research" from flawed sources makes them smarter than mainstream scientists who dismiss the BS.
