Excuse me for asking the obvious, but if Jones is one of the authors of this paper, how is it independent of him?

Isn't...that...a bit....contradictory? Warp speed Mr. Sulu!

You do realize that the two claims contradict one another don't you bill?

And the answer to the Aluminum question is in the picture I supplied of glowing Al. Didn't you see it?
With the best will in the world I would like to see the pic without the orange filter next time. Are you saying that you personally believe that metal that is a flat silver colour when molten glows orange ?

Here you go bill, another pic of glowing molten aluminum. 'If it glows, your theory blows'

err, you think it's a conspiracy, or you think the other 8 scientists and the referees can think independently themsleves?

bill asked 'Are you saying that you personally believe that metal that is a flat silver colour when molten glows orange ? '

I just look at the evidence. It's not about what I believe. It's about what IS.

You either believe it or you don't. When you are so evasive I think we all get the message loud and clear.

I have good evidence of a conspiracy

Do you actually consider the other 'scientists' (are Kevin Ryan and Gregg Roberts scientists?) independent? If so, maybe you need a better dictionary.

No that is not what was being said Bill.

The question is how do you make such a large poole of molten steel at that one location in part of a building which is seriously on fire?

How do you get the steel to that point?

Before melting - if so who fires all the thermite to do the meltinjh etc etc....

After melting if you have just cut tens of columns with it? How do you get it to one point?
------ Channels for it to flow - who put the channels in place after the aircraft had bulldozed debris through the space?

------ Manual - suicide workers in fireproof suits who carry all the little bits from each of the cut columns and walk across the fire lor to pour each bnit into one pool?

Whichwever of those two you suggwest how do you keep it molten?

AND where do you hide the tons of molten aluminium so it doesn't fall out the same place and give evidence for your opponents???

Other than that there could be something in your claims.

I already gave my opinion that the molten material is more likely to be Aluminum. You don't believe it glows orange, I provided evidence that it does.

What else do you want me to say? Are you always this resistant to the learning experience?

How do you figure that Billy. Every metallurgist, materials engineer and Chemist on the planet will be extremely interested to know. Here is a diagram to help you. Explain using the diagram how that's possible or STFU and stop derailing the thread.

No sweat. At least you have been clear now. You think that molten aluminium which is a flat silver colour glows orange.

I tried to read this thread from the start but couldn't stomach it anymore. On the Hindenburg episode of Mythbusters, they applied a thermite "paint" to their model and ignited it. Pretty GD cool, BTW. Why can't Jones paint some structural steel with any type of thermite he wants and actually demonstrate what he claims. Other than smoke and bright light, what the hell is going to happen to the steel? Will it warm up a little (somewhere back in the early pages 27 degrees C was mentioned, IIRC) or will it melt?
My bet is on the slightly warm up.
Where is Crazychainsaw when I need him!

bill, here's one more example of molten aluminum. Note the color of the splashes dribbling onto the ground. They don't look silvery to me?

This italian guy got response from NIST, saying that there was a Uninterruptible Power Supply on floor 81st. It could be related to the glowing fountain that NIST first said could be molten aluminium.

Well now I know you are just trolling bearing in mind that is the most relevant chart anyone will ever come across with regards to steel.

Hey:
Why hasn't the Jones' boys staged a demonstration on a mock-up column? I offered a while back to supply the column to any "truther" that wanted to "cut it with therm?te" but got no takers. I'll still do it (except you have to pay shipping, it's been a little slow) to any "truther" willing to try (you fail you pay for the stock and fabrication, I'll give you a quote).
So how many orders should I get together?

It's actually funny that you use the word 'silvery'. That is exactly how Shyam Sunder of NIST described the molten stream pouring out of WTC2...'' it was 'silvery' he said. You are evidently of the opposite opinion.

I have messed about with molten alumnium before and it remained unfailingly silver. So me and Shyam are in lockstep and you are out of step with us ? lol

Now look who's not answering the question....LOL

Does it look silvery to you in that picture or not? Just your opinion, or are you afraid to look at the pic?

No, you are confusing truther with "twoofer". Anyone starting with a conclusion already is not seeking "truth", but is attempting to support an intitial hypothesis (which is a** backwards).

LOL... I only have a bachelors, and even I recognize a phase diagram.

I'm not terribly competent in using it , but at least I recognize it.


1130oC is the lowest temperature you can have molten iron, correct? And that presumes 4% carbon content. Did I read that right? It's been since the (*GASP*) early 90's since I've read a phase diagram.

'twoofer' is just an unclever name made up by somebody with no wit or imagination to mislabel the true Stalwart 9/11 Truthers. I was relieved that the name was so clueless. With a little application they could have come up with something much better. Too late now though. You are stuck with 'twoofer' which is just fine by us.

Call me whatever you want, but at least I present evidence, not paint chips.

Mind you the incidence of molten aluminium we are talking about took place in the open saylight. this much darker rpresentation may not be representative. Would molten aluminium in daylight glow orange too ? Or is that only in much darker places ?

In more distant shots of the stuff pouring out, which catch it at a lower level, it does appear less red, which would be consistant with its cooling back to a silvery appearance.

Problem is that colors do not always remain stable in digital photography because cameras adjust to surroundings.

Bear in mind, too, that lead can be heated to a red glow before it evaporates. I do not have the referrences at hand to back this up, but I believe it will glow at lower temperatures than aluminum.

I am still betting that the stream is lead from the UPS. It was certainly in the right location.

Most 9/11 Truth seekers started out believing the official version, but have been swayed by the evidence.

It is the JREF archie debunkers who start out with the conclusion.

That part of the tower was in the shade.


I need to ask, If this "active thermitic" substance was found in all those samples sent to jones 6 years after 9/11, samples I might add that were found in various locations as far away as the Brooklyn bridge. within a three inch thick layer of dust all over the southern tip of Manhattan. Why wasn't it ignited by all the fires around ground zero?

It is the JREF archie debunkers who start out with the conclusion.
No, they have been swayed by distortions of the evidence and disinformation because they don't take the time to critically analyze what they are fed by their gurus. The Dr. Jones paper is a fine example of that.

You changed what you said first then. You said Truthers start with a conclusion. Now you say they don't start with a conclusion, but are swayed by bad evidence.

You are basically full of it, you don't know what you are talking about.

I need to ask, If this "active thermitic" substance was found in all those samples sent to jones 6 years after 9/11, samples I might add that were found in various locations as far away as the Brooklyn bridge. within a three inch thick layer of dust all over the southern tip of Manhattan. Why wasn't it ignited by all the fires around ground zero?
I don't know if the distribution was even or not. That will come out later. It's gettng time for NIST to produce heir samples of dust for comparison. I just hope they didn't get sent to 'China' too.

Actually "truthers" start with nothing.

Doesn't it bother you that they can't support (with demonstration) what they claim to have been used (therm?te)?

Starting with nothing, i.e., no conclusion is a good way to be objective.

JREFers always start with the conclusion, then use warped pseudo-science and anecdotal coincidences to justify whatever they are spouting that particular day.

True, starting with nothing is a good way to be objective.

Care to deal with the second part of my post?
