This is a case of ‘working the numbers’ into something that sounds incredible or absurd. Here’s how it goes: The H-O bonds in water have an energy of 9.5eV. If you break and re-form this bond, you get a photon of 130nm. A blackbody would have to be 22000K to achieve this emission peak. Therefore, if you ‘measure’ the ‘temperature’ of this phenomenon with a spectroscope, you can get a ridiculous number. The surface of the sun is generated by fusion at 5700K, so obviously this temperature (22000K) comes from a tiny supernova generated by a common shrimp. I would like to see a science journal that publishes unvarnished brutal takedown responses from reviewers along with every submission. The WWE of science. At this point, it seems the journals (maybe universities) are fully in the entertainment industry anyway.
