"Judy Would"

In what easily has to be one of the most disturbing things I have seen in a long time, someone has created a tribute to former Clemson engineering professor Judy Wood (famous for her Keebler Elf theory), to include a song in her honor titled, "Judy Would".

I haven't listened to the song yet, I am too scared...

As usual dont discuss the issues just take the piss out of an engineering professor.

Judy wood is the thorn in the debunking trolls side

What color is the sky in your world? Judy Wood is so irrelevant since she holds onto the most ludicrous of theories. Her 'theory' on the collapse was debunkabkle by anyone with High School physics (and laughable from that standpoint). She's also the one who thinks buildings are like trees and should fall like them.

as i said earlier, the tree analogy is 1,000,000 times more believable than jenga.

I thought u liked experts, well shes an expert so quit mocking her and start liking her.

by the way,you follow the question "what colour is the sky in ur world?" by a sentence about relevance, are u being deliberately ironic? i didnt think americans could do that

Except you would never admit that it was a terrorist. As long as it happens on US soil, you'll always be convinced it was a "CIA asset". You probably think Israel keeps faking all of the attacks on them too. You're a goddamn retard, and your idiotic revisionism helps divert attention away from the fight against terrorism. So yes, you certainly are a terrorist supporter/enabler.

alex i have studied relativity for a long time. gravity is not a force of any kind. we simplistically model it as one. it is a curvature of spacetime caused my the matter -energy density in that space. there is no force involved

 
At 16 October, 2006 06:33, Anonymous Anonymous said...

Alex this quote might help your tiny mind understand. if you have any problems understanding the words i will help u:

"Strictly speaking, gravity is not a "force" in general relativity, and a description in terms of speed and direction can be tricky. For weak fields, though, one can describe the theory in a sort of Newtonian language. In that case, one finds that the "force" in GR is not quite central--it does not point directly towards the source of the gravitational field--and that it depends on velocity as well as position. The net result is that the effect of propagation delay is almost exactly cancelled, and general relativity very nearly reproduces the Newtonian result.
"

At 16 October, 2006 06:37, Blogger Alex said...

*sigh* let's not get into THAT debate. If it looks like a force and generally acts like a force, for all intents and purposes it IS a force. Treating gravity as a curvature in space-time is only useful when dealing with problems in relativity. When attempting to model any problem within a gravity field it makes no sense to treat it as such. And the observable effect on objects caused by gravity is still that of a force. Meaning only two types of people insist on point out that "gravity is not a force": those who are clueless on the subject but want to sound smart, and relativity snobs.

Alright, one more response:

Nobody says experts can't be wrong. Unfortunately for your analogy, experts in the past have always been proven wrong by other experts. Einstein wasn't a 22 year old kid doing research on YouTube, and Galileo wasn't an 18 year old kid with a "Bush=Hitler" shirt. When intelligent, logical, qualified people start to come out and state they believe 9/11 was an inside job, then I'll start to pay attention. However, even my own knowledge of physics, engineering, and demolition, is enough to tell me there is nothing "suspicious" about the collapse of any of the three buildings. In fact, it was the expected result. I DID expect the twin towers to collapse, and while I didn't think WTC7 would fall, the firefighters on the ground did. All 3 buildings acted in exactly the way they would be expected to act under those conditions.

The important thing to consider is that I am discussing the opinions of informed experts. No Joe Blow on the street or some UK wanker who thinks his physics degree qualifies him as an Engineer.

When I say 'Her opinion is the minority', I am referring to her professional field.

By rights, I cannot even truly consider her opinion to be a 'minority' as she has not produced a peer-reviewed article.

Excuse me? Einstein had more education than you give him credit for. He had to pay the bills, so he took the clerical job. He obtained even more education while on that job.

In the early 20th century, there really wasn't such a thing as a 'professional physicist'. Heck, people were still referring to Einstein as a 'Mathematician' until 1950 or so.

You've done the calculations for this? I doubt it.

When I hear the phrase 'pulverized concrete', I wince. Becuase it sure as heck was not all pulverized. This is simply a CT myth.

BTW, are you aware of how much explosives are required to pulverise concrete? You'd require the concrete surfaces to be practically covered with the stuff. Somebody would noticed. And when all that explosive when off, you REALLY notice.

No wonder the explosives are considered such a joke by the building demolition community.

No, it didn't. I've worked with explosives, they don't do that. It makes much more sense for it to have been "rolled" into that shape by the collapsing mass of the building, although nobody can say for certain exactly how it happened. What we can tell you is that it wasn't done by explosives.

You think bombs caused a steel beam to bend, so you're a nutcase.

Yes. Einstein came up with a new model for understanding the universe. A structural engineer yelling "BOMBS!!!" would hardly be equivalent. We don't need a new science for understanding how buildings collapse. Frankly, I'd be more interested in a new psychological study as to why people like you exist at all. It should be counter-evolutionary to be THAT stupid.

Thing is they're not investigating, just like you lunatics aren't investigating 9/11. Calling your efforts an investigation is equivalent to calling last years fireworks an attempt to develop nuclear weapons. What the JFK clowns are REALLY doing is rehashing the same tired old arguments which were rejected decades ago by anyone with an IQ over 5. And you're right, the same thing will happen with 9/11. And the 9/11 deniers will become just as irrelevant as the JFK revisionists. Or rather, they'll CONTINUE to be just as irrelevant, since you've already reached that stage.

lets look at the evidence against oswald:

no confession, and he didnt have time give one cos mafia hitman ruby was allowed to shoot him.
a fake photo of him holding a gun.

oh yes and then theres all the witnesses who heard grassy knoll shots and also people who have admitted being second shooters

obviously oswald is guilty

That's not evidence either for or against.

a fake photo of him holding a gun.

Well, the fact that you think the photo is fake isn't evidence for or against either, but it IS evidence that you're a friggin loon.

oh yes and then theres all the witnesses who heard grassy knoll shots

If you'd ever been shot at (as I have) you'd know just how hard it can be to pinpoint the origin of the sound. The first two steps of battle procedure after coming under fire are "react to effective enemy fire" and "locate the enemy". That second one usualy takes quite a while.

and also people who have admitted being second shooters

Yes, there must be what, 10 of them by now? Must have been damn crowded on the grassy knoll.

A large proportion? So far I've seen exactly four of them who hold that opinion. Perhaps you could provide some more names? Maybe even a statistic? Not that it really matters what they think, but if you can show that you're right I'd definitely be more open towards a new investigation. It wouldn't prove anything that the first one didn't, but if there's enough concern among victims families it'd be worth it to try and put their minds at ease.

Right. One minute you'd have us beleive Bush is the dumbest man on the planet, the next minute you want us to beleive he's an evil genius who could never make any sort of mistake.

"alex please give me the equation for a builings potential energy. hint: dont look it up on google"

Hint: Don't be a hypocrite. That's exactly what you did for your quote about gravity above:

http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/GR/grav_speed.html.

While you're at it, pre-relativity physicists were not "wrong" in the sense that they were the opposite of "right" or "correct". They were wrong in that they didn't have any relativistic framework in which to evaluate their observations. You cannot call that "wrong"; remember, as your high school and 100 level college physics courses should have told you, that witching non-relativistic frameworks, Newtonian physics is still absolutely correct, as they properly describe observations and provide a framework within which to make accurate predictions.

On top of that, how do you defend your assertion that there's not enough energy to account for pyroclastic flow? Or better yet, can you explain how you're applying the concept of pyroclastic flow to what was observed in the WTC collapse to begin with? I know you said that it was "exactly what we saw on 911"; now explain how the total concept applies beyond simply resembling a volcanic eruption.

While we're here, mind posting your CV or any other proof that you are indeed a physics student? You may of course delete or obscure any personally identifying information, but I do not believe your claim that you've studied relativity, or anything beyond high school physics. Your writing lends itself to the opposite conclusion. I do not believe at all that you've "studied relativity for a long time"; you do not appear to have any proper background in physics, as all you seem to do is cut and paste from the web. Not to mention your "get a thesis" post shows that you're not familiar with how things work in the postgraduate world. In short, you cut and paste and borrow from the web well, but you do not seem capable of explaining physics concepts in your own words, so I do not believe that you have any relevant experience in the field. Prove me wrong.

"alex please give me the equation for a builings potential energy. hint: dont look it up on google"

I didn't even see that question until Elmondohummus repeated it. It's been discussed here before, but I'll post in a quick note:

Weight = 500,000tons+
Mean Height ~= 200m

500,000,000x200x9.8 = 980,000,000,000 or 0.98 trajoules

1gram of TNT = 4184 Joules, 1kg = 4,184,000

980,000,000 / 4,184 = 234,225 kilos of TNT, or 234 TONS of TNT per building.


Funny, I would have thought a guy with a "physics diploma" would have been able to do that himself. Personaly I've only got highschool physics.

ur simple centre of mass version assumes uniform density of material which is not true.

True, but I also intentionally underestimated the weight of the buildings, and, as you pointed out, the TV antenna would make up for any weight difference in the upper floors. Anyway, assume my estimate is off by as much as 20% plus or minus. That means the buildings each contained somewhere between 0.78 and 1.17 terajoules of energy. It STILL makes your argument look retarded. Even 0.78 terajoules is hundreds of times more energy than would have been provided by your hypothetical explosives. So no, my equation isn't wrong, and neither is my conclusion, whereas you have still failed to show any evidence of explosives.

talking of which, can one of you high school physicists explain to me why the sky lobby floors didnt halt or slow down ur crepe suzette collapse?

Can you explain why they should have?

Wait, no, I have a better question! Can you, Mr I-Have-a-Physics-Degree-but-don't-understand-momentum explain to me why a piece of drywall won't stop or significantly slow a speeding truck?

The 24' sections were the outer girders that were bolted to gether in sections thus creating a weak point at the joint. Every one knows that joints are always weak points. There was a 3 to 4 inch layer of concrete on the average floor. The floors were not designed to be self standing but designed for lateral loads. Contrary to what some conspiracy theorists say, the core walls were NOT concrete reinforced. The floors had little or no rebar just steel screen like that of home slabs.

The failure of the floor system led to a free fall of a mass of approximately 30 stories and 14
stories onto the 80 and 96, respectively, floor structure below. The enormous kinetic energy
released by this 2-3-floor downfall was too large to be absorbed by the structure underneath.
The impact effect generated from this upper part onto the lower part was surely much higher
than the buckling resistance of the columns below.

The lighter perimeter columns from WTC 1 and WTC 2 appear to have used column-to-column connections with 4 bolts, whereas larger members presumably from lower floors used six-bolt column-to-column connections. Core column sizes vary, with some heavier sections at the lower floors having plates 4 inches thick or greater. The steel pieces range in size from fasteners inches in length and weighing a couple of ounces to column pieces up to 36 feet long and weighing several tons. They were all bolted together which creats a weak point.

They're telling the literal truth. The core WAS a hollow steel shaft. The center columns made up the walls of that shaft. Inside it was hollow. Their statement in no way claims that the columns weren't there. You're simply misreading their statements in order to justify your own theories.

Because 'Hollow steel shaft' as I pointed out earlier, is not denying existance of the the columns.

In fact, several engineers have pointed it out as an accurate description a box column when this came up before.

So yeah, saying that we 'deny the existance of the columns' is a lie from you.

"The World Trade Center project in lower Manhattan last week entered a new phase of construction. A crane placed the first of 76 huge steel columns, shaped like short-handled pitch-forks, that will transfer the load of 101 stories of office space to the substructure. The four-story columns are the largest structural components of the project's twin 110-story towers"

Steve brings up a good point (which has been discussed before, but regaurdless, let's rehash it):

"Every one knows that joints are always weak points."

The strength of the central and perimeter columns become pretty much irrelevant once the collapse begins. Even had they been strong enough to resist the downward momentum of the building, the connecting points between columns and floors would not have been. So, assuming the columns themselves had been strong enough, what you would have seen would be the outer columns all peeling away from the building (and we did see that in some cases) while the internal columns remained standing, with the collapsing mass coming down around them. You still would have had a collapse, it would just have looked slightly different.

no telescope they are claiming the core his hollow not the individual colums. notice they say "in which" the elevators are housed

so ur claiming they think the elevators are inside individual columns?

no wonder it was hard to evacuate the towers when the elevators were only 12 inches by 36 inches lol

Are you blind or jus stupid? THE CORE WAS HOLLOW! Go look at the damn blueprints! The internal steel columns were arranged as a box. Inside that box was HOLLOW. THAT is where the elevators were housed!

Its an accurate description of the structure. A hollow steel shaft is a decent description of a box column structure. You seem to be confusing the terms 'shaft' with 'column', at best.

so ur claiming they think the elevators are inside individual columns?

Where do you get these delusions? They are talking about the core being hollow, not the columns.

The only thing PD has proved is that he knows jack about the towers construction
http://www.civil.usyd.edu.au/latest/wtc.php

The 208-foot wide facade is, in effect, a prefabricated steel lattice, with columns on 39-inch centers acting as wind bracing to resist all overturning forces; the central core takes only the gravity loads of the building. As you can see in the piks in the PDF they were in 2 story sections, bolted and welded together as were the central core griders. 12-foot floor-to-floor height. Every joint is a weak point but I would not expect a maroon like you to understand But then you never mention the 50-100000 tons of building pushing down of that the impact force was 4-6X what the buildings were designed for..

The 9/11 commission was not an engineering study, it was a study of the terrorists who commited the attacks and the mistakes the intelligence community commited which allowed the attacks to happen. The fact that they may have gotten a few engineering points wrong is irrelevent.

Shaft:

# A vertical passage housing an elevator.
# A duct or conduit for the passage of air, as for ventilation or heating.

You really are retarded, aren't you? A shaft is simply a hollow object. A hollow object, by definition, requires some sort of perimeter. In this case, the interior columns made up the perimeter, otherwise known as the walls, of the shaft.

You really are pathetic. Even my uncle, who believes in every CT out there, wouldn't be trying to make these sorts of ridiculous arguments. Granted that's primarily because he's an engineer, and hence has a much better understanding of structures than you do, but still....you're arguing like someone who's never picked up a book in his entire life.


Steve, thanks, that site seems to be quite an excellent resource.

Which is an adequete definition of a box column structure. But hey, don't take my work for it, ask an engineer.

Actually, it is. What do you think a mine shaft is?

Big numbers impress you, gotcha.


(For the record, the '115 omissions is the silliest batch of 'They didn't run the Comission the way I wanted, wah!' listings. Most of them have long been debunked, many of them were never important, and were just used to pad out the list. Griffin

You're just all over the freaking map, little doger. Why don't you just admit you lied about what the Comission said?

(For the record NIST was spending over $16+ million per year alone, and our boy has inflated the Starr investigation budget by at least 50%)

look how obsessed people are with me, they are even emailing my college tutor to confirm my degree lol

can i make a prediction?

my tutor will send an email back confirming what i say but you will come here and say that he has never heard of me rofl

the fact that the guy exist should confirm it but you go ahead and be proved wrong

First of all, you asked all of a few minutes ago. I am not at your beck and call. So get stuffed, I don't dance for kooks.

Second of all, I have said very little that requires me to have any bigtime qualifications. Even if I had none, I have shown I am smart enough to defer and consult the relevant experts to get proper answers. The only point I have tried to make any points about qualifications were when you made some bone-headed mistakes that could have been poor typing skills or a lack of credentials. Ergo I, and others questioned it.

Third, I actually already told you my qualfifications elsewhere. So I can see this is just your attempt to be a nag.

PD's against the wall on facts, so he changes the subject. Why do they all do that?

PD misinterprets how the word "experts" is applied, doesn't provide proper alternative arguments or answers, very very weakly nitpicks at arguments made here, rehashes already debunked arguments from conspiracy fantasists, yet tries to impress us with 1. A supposed math degree, which isn't helping him here, since he doesn't appear to know the path of postgraduate work (exactly how does one "get" a thesis, BTW?), and 2. An off topic post regarding the amount of money spent on two different investigations, which doesn't speak towards the veracity of any of the arguments posted here, doesn't prove his case one iota, and is an attempt at diversion on top of all that.

Ditch the money argument. I too am pissed at the amount of dough spent on the stupid investigation of Clinton. But as I've said in other forums elsewhere, politics does not answer questions on physics, nor does it prove any claim about the collapse of the WTC. Try arguing the points: Judy Wood has not provided an accurate model (how exactly is the tree anology "1,000,000 times" more believable than Jenga?). You have not properly answered Alex's model, you've only nitpicked at it with a single issue - uniformity of mass - without explaining exactly how that undoes his model. You have not explained how pyroclastic flow concepts apply to the WTC collapse, or even why others apply it. You have not answered the major obvious unstated question in Alex's calculations regarding the amount of explosives required and how it was installed. You have not done any basic research of the arguments posted previously on this blog, as they answer nearly every single factual physical question you've tried to bring up. You also cut and paste explanations from other websites without trying to rephrase them in your own words. Yet when people bring facts to bear, you respond wtih subject changes and very adolescent language. This is how you debate? You've not proven any of your points, only become intractable at trying to parrot arguments made elsewhere on the internet and answered in earlier posts here. Why don't you try actually answering the real points? Explain how Judy Wood's model is superior. Explain how your critique of Alex's calculations actually results in the building not collapsing. Explain pyroclastic flow, and why it's brought up in conspiracy fantasies regarding the collapse. And try using a word processor and proper spelling, please. It's very hard to take you seriously when you talk like a pre-teen on Instant Messenger.

In short, speak to the factual arguments, and try to address everyone as if you're actually an adult. Then, maybe you'll get a better, more informative debate.
