At the centre of this discourse is the subject of cold fusion, a concept initially popularized by researchers Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons in the late 1980s.

However, claims regarding anomalous heat production in these experiments complicate the narrative he presents, leading critics to question the scientific basis of his assertions.
