This is exactly the kind of place that such a thread would appear. Everyone else considers it for a pecosecond and then decides that its irelevent.
I think if that was the case, there would be much fewer sites discussing nano thermite being used on 9/11 over 12 years after it happened! In fact, if you type nano thermite into google, that's almost all you get, conspiracy related sites or debunking sites, all related to 9/11. It's clearly tossed around a lot.
As the premice hinges entirely on whether any kind of thermite was used to cut 3" steel, as part of a plan to demolish highrise steelframe buildings, then that aspect is what is overwhelmingly the most important point.
That's what's being discussed. Thermite vs nano thermite...what is the difference? Why is nano thermite 'better' for cutting steel, if it is at all? That's what the aim of this thread is. Not necessarily a debunk per se, more so a fact find. If the facts point towards improbability or impossibility, then so be it.
Are you trying to subliminally prove that NT is worse than garage thermite in a Jon Cole type device ? You say not. You say that its a genuine attempt to answer a question. If so, then what difference does it make.
. The point is that there are varying claims of thermite or nano thermite being used on 9/11 to demolish the buildings (whether you subscribe to them or not, they exist). The point of this thread is to establish facts about thermite and nano thermite (more specifically their ability to cut steel), and decide if they are even practical or possible for such a job.
You say this isn't a debunk attempt but it sure looks that way from my perspective.
Certainly, in a sense it is. Because there are claims that the stuff was used on 9/11, and the point is that so far it's nothing beyond
pure speculation. There is no real scientific data to back up these claims, so what's presented here is (what is meant to be) discussion regarding the use of thermite or nano thermite for that job. Are these claims reasonable? Can they be backed up with facts? Verifiable evidence? That's all this thread is.
You say you don't buy into the theories...maybe you could help disprove them then with your knowledge on the subject?
