I was going to respond with "I've never heard of that", when I recall compiling a list of "sceptic" books, each with a "top of the list" review off the Web. To my horror, I discovered that ALL EVOLUTION (Dawkins at al.) proponents benefited from a "top-of-the-list" panning by Creationist...

You have stated most concisely my own YouTube experience, and arrived at my exact same conclusion. Wonderful! Of course you deserve what you receive, just as I do. I just hope that you're younger than I am. You may have my sword and lance when my time's up. :)

Me too. Originally Welsh, but graduating (possibly failing) outwards from off the Harrow Road, Chalk Farm (!!!), Hampstead, (interlude in N. Wales), Mill Hill, High Barnet, and finally Old Hatfield, before scampering off to a warmer climate. I remember trails in the fifties - it could be...

I don't understand it. Certainly not this: Ranking Methodology The members of the Panel were asked to rate the validity of the points as follows: 1. strongly agree 2. agree 3. agree, but with (stated) reservations 4. disagree 5. strongly disagree 6. uncertain If points were rated 4 (disagree)...

Thanks. I recommend you make a study of primary and secondary explosion initiation conditions as evidenced in the historical records of fires before you trip lightly down a "planted explosives" route. Also you should remember that each 4,900 sq yd floor was calorifically equivalent to 200 cu M...

Your question is rather general, isn't it? "Mechanisms"? What do you mean by that, Polly? "Mechanisms" of what sort, and located where? (And keep your green smiles to yourself.) I thought my response a wordy "NO". So, to be clear, the seismic evidence does NOT imply controlled demolition at...

It's a topic-stopping question: there is no logically-arguable reason why. It stops the topic from even being a topic. This question should have been the first. It isn't sensible to propose a basement explosion might create a situation where the tower might not collapse immediately but WAIT an...

Were there any other mechanisms?

Go for it. Hunt Bigfoot. :)

As the fire had been approaching from beneath one may assume it was worse. The building was bending over the gap torn out of it. Those long floors were sagging and attempting to apply bending loads to their internal columns through their fixings. Thirty-four floors up, the building would have...

Econ41 - there isn't a rating that says thanks. Thanks. :)

Neither should have "theorised" anything. A collapse is chaotic, and by definition cannot be summarised accurately. It is certain that the analysis of any specific localised instance within the collapse will be fiction in some unknown respect. What we DO know is that the STEEL building was...

The answer is NO. Because the building failed internally first, and suffered a concealed failure of some sort, pseudoscientists like Tzamboti* feel free to theorise upon what couldn't have been seen, doing their best to imply, without proof of any sort, that the building was intentionally and...

That was new to me. I got the whole thing in my post, I think. Agnotology is a word I expect I shall be using in the future. I shall have to learn to teach my spellchecker, though. Nice one.

I think perhaps the effects of the fuel/air explosions were greater than supposed, and explain quite adequately all the basement events. Fuel/air bombs are known to be devastating in confined spaces. How big is this one relative to the two 767s? To save anyone the effort, it is thirty-three...

And you can see the internal pressure map showing increasing pressure within the divergence - during normal cruise. At takeoff, with increased engine power, this lowers the pressure (and thus the local temperature) sufficiently to induce condensation - if the air is sufficiently humid. Happy New...

By extracting a googlplexeth of the universe's vacuum energy? On the day we transubstantiate, we might. But we won't need energy by then - we'll BE it. Your free lunch will be along any millennium now... Just as long as nobody else steals it... (That's enough - Ed.)

I wouldn't bet on no external power supply. Scammers can be pretty cute with little button power cells, concealed transformers and rectifiers and suspiciously-long run-up times. I would need to use an X-ray scanner. What am I talking about? No I wouldn't bet at all. "There's no such thing as a...

Human beings conspire all the time. You probably learnt this from your classmates at school. Businesses are conspiracies. I think we all accept that here, and make the appropriate discriminations between important and unimportant. What really annoys us is bunk - the indiscriminate assembly of...

Whereas, of course, it is ALWAYS heat expansion of gases, in this case, in addition, that of the partially-compressed bypass air into a cylinder around the exhaust efflux. A dramatic thrust increase, with a reduction in exhaust noise.
