How Stupid Is....

Steven Jones? He comments on this Eggsperiment:

A great demonstration of Newton's Third Law, and the total inadequacy of the Bazant/NIST official explanation.

May I suggest -- show the Bazant diagram from their paper (which we are challenging) which shows this upper block of floors supposedly acting as a tamper -- due to gravity alone -- and you might also point out that NIST states that the fall is accelerating at "near" free-fall even for the Towers.

They must really think we're stupid or naive...

I can narrow those choices down, Steven. We don't think you're naive.

The Federal government? They're requiring that the first responders who submit health claims under the Zadroga bill be checked against the FBI's terrorist database.
“This amendment was adopted in the full Energy and Commerce Committee without opposition and it merely requires that the names of those receiving health benefits be cross-checked with the terrorist watch list to ensure that no terrorists get these benefits,” Stearns said.

“These benefits are not just for our first responders; nearly anyone who was in the vicinity or worked on a cleanup crew afterward is eligible,” he noted.

Wow, this sounds familiar. It's pretty much exactly what Brian babbles about every time we make fun of the eggs, or Richard Gage's boxes, or Brian's own "meatball on a fork" model.

I knew Brian was too stupid to understand what he was talking about whenever he babbled about Newton's laws and I figured he was just parroting something he had heard somewhere else. Now we know: it's a senile old nut he's parroting.

Ian, would you care to explain why the egg-drop demonstration is not a valid demonstration of Newton's 3rd Law?

Would you care to discuss Dr. Bazant's claim that his theorized piledriver is exempt from Newton's 3rd Law?

If you spent half as much time trying to understand as you spend cracking half-wise, you might learn something.

Brian, why should I waste my time discussing Newton's laws with a failed janitor and liar who thinks "meatball on a fork" represents an accurate portrayal of the WTC collapse?

Brian, I'm the one who understands Newton's laws. You're the one who is totally confused, given how you just mindlessly repeat what Dr. Jones says. No wonder you don't understand what happened on 9/11

The demonstration is not a valid representation of Newton's 3rd Law as it applies to the collapse of the TWC. Neither tower was built like an egg. Eggs are more dense than the towers were because the eggs have yolk. The yolk acts as a cushion during the impact absorbing much of the energy. The towers were mostly air, so there was little resistance once the collapse began.

No mystery, no violation of physics.

Logical fallacy: Evidence of absence, ie, prove a negative.

This is a perfect example of how the Palo Alto Pud Huffer deliberately lies and misinterprets the available data.

Bazant never proposed a so-called "piledriver [SIC] theory"--you moron. Bazant proposed that the collapse progressed in two phases--crush up and crush down--and described each phase by means of a non-linear second order differential equation.

You're such a fuck up and a liar that you can't get past the basics of the paper without completely misinterpreting the propositions found therein.

UtterFail, your substance-free naymongering does not merit a response. Dr. Bazant's piledriver paper speaks for iteself and an intelligent person can read it in ten minutes.

MGF, the fact that the twin towers were not eggs does not change the fact that Newton's third law applies to eggs and to the twin towers. The putative density of the top "block" of the towers is essential to Dr. Bazant's argument, which pretends that the "block" is a monolithic weight which in reality more resembles a basket built of springs. The fact that the towers were mostly air defeats your own argument, since air is more a cushion than a yolk is.

The destruction of the towers in symmetry, totality, and near-freefall acceleration violates the 1st and 2d laws of thermodynamics and Newton's 3rd law.

Nobody has suggested otherwise.

There's no reason the top would need to be a "monolithic weight" in order to initiate a collapse by simply weighing what it weighs. Fifty tons of Jello still weighs fifty tons.

The fact that the towers were mostly air defeats your own argument, since air is more a cushion than a yolk is.

Don't gases both compress and escape more readily than liquids? Wouldn't that make liquids a better cushion?

The destruction of the towers in symmetry, totality, and near-freefall acceleration violates the 1st and 2d laws of thermodynamics and Newton's 3rd law.

That might seem true when one restricts their analysis to a simplistic recital of those laws. When scale and material composition are also considered, the collapses are consistent with all physical principles.

Fifty tons of Jello still weighs fifty tons.

Fifty tons of jello flows around its impediments instead of striking them with dynamic force. Thanks for proving my point. Dr. Bazant's model requires the top "block" to strike the lower columns in perfect registration, transferring all of its force to the structure directly-no shearing; no puncturing; no bending, mashing, tearing. It's absurd.

When scale and material composition are also considered, the collapses are consistent with all physical principles.

So if the tower is big enough it's exempt from the laws of thermodynamics? Wow! Maybe we can build a perpetual motion machine!

 
At 24 April, 2011 12:27, Blogger M Gregory Ferris said...

Umm...if both towers had been filled with yolk in equal proportion to those eggs the planes would have essentually bounced off, or they would have just been absorbed into the mass of the building.

That's why only morons would think eggs are a good model for the world trade center. You do understand that we are talking about the WTC, don't you Brian? This video is a wonderful depiction of Newton's 3rd Law as it applies to eggs in a glass. However it has zero application to the collapse of ANY structure, especially the twin towers.

This is why I can't power my Honda Civic with a rubber band. It works great with a milk carton, but not so much with an actua; car because the physics and materials are all different.

This is why we can't launch satellite using a rocket filled with water and a big air-pump. It works great in the backyard with a 10'inch plastic tube, not so much with a Saturn V. Why? The physics and materials are different.

Now if you need further information you can google "Egg" and then "World Trade Center" and figure it out for yourself.

I don't see him saying that. I see him suggesting that the eggs do not legitimately model the collapse of the World Trade Center. Newton's 3rd law was not the only factor at play in the collapses.

Fifty tons of jello flows around its impediments instead of striking them with dynamic force. Thanks for proving my point.

Eight ounces of Jello in your bowl might do that. Fifty tons of anything, Jello included, dropping ten feet is going to crush whatever's beneath it. Even under Newton's 3rd law, little things still behave differently from big things.

Dr. Bazant's model requires the top "block" to strike the lower columns in perfect registration, transferring all of its force to the structure directly-no shearing; no puncturing; no bending, mashing, tearing. It's absurd.

Where does his model require that? I see no such thing in there.

Nobody is suggesting that flying airplanes into eggs is a good model. If you want to demonstrate Newton's 3rd vis a vis eggs, you need to fly an egg into an egg.

only morons would think eggs are a good model for the world trade center.

Nobody said they were a good model for the WTC. They'r a good model for Newton's 3rd Law which, by the way, applies to the WTC as much as it does to eggs.

Your Honda Civic is no more immune to the laws of physics than the WTC is. You can power your Civic from a rubber band if it's big enough.

You really should take some science courses at Cabrillo or Hartnell.

Fifty tons of anything, Jello included, dropping ten feet is going to crush whatever's beneath it.

Baloney. It's not going to crush 80,000 tons of structural steel designed to support 50 tons with a considerable safety factor.

Where does his model require that?

It requires that when in violation of the 1st law of thermodynamics it transfers ALL of the dynamic force to one poor lonesome little floor, with no allowance for inefficiencies in energy transfer due to shearing, crushing, crumpling, pulverizing, penetration, dismembering, debris expulsion, and vibration throughout both the lower 200,000 ton structure and the upper top block.

The eggs fail because they are structurally different. Eggs are actually stronger in proportion than the towers where.

RGT, on page 4 of Dr. Bazant's "Why Did the World Trade Center Collapse?—Simple Analysis" paper (the third page) he claims that within a few floors of collapse propagation "the percentage of the kinetic energy dissipated plastically is then of the order of 1%." He justifies this assumption by working backward from the belief that "the collapse of the tower must be an almost free fall."

Ian, for you to compare 50 tons of jello dropping ten feet to a tsunami wave is silly. Office floors are rated for 50 psf live load (or more)--in the WTC that's over 1000 tons per floor right there. Water in a tsunami wave can not flow around impediments because it is constrained by the water around it.

GMS, if you would bother to read Dr. Bazant's paper, you would see that it claims that "the duration of the collapse of each tower, reported as roughly 10 s, was about the same as the duration of a free fall in a vacuum from the tower top" and it claims that less than 1% of the tower's potential energy was consumed in dismembering, pulverizing, and deforming the structure.

Having concerns about the apparent violation of the 1st and 2d laws of thermodynamics and Newton's 3rd law is hardly the position of "fringe hacks".

MGF, the fact that the eggs are structurally different from the towers is irrelevant to their validity as a demonstration of Newton's 3rd Law. If you want to go beyond your BS in Geology you'd better brush up on thermodynamics before you take the GRE. You'd also do well to do some practicing in logical reasoning.

I never said anything about a meatball being scientific, though one could make the case that a meatball on a fork better resembles the interaction between collapse debris and the core than Bazant's pile-driver does.

Bazant needs to imagine that the entire top part of the building is a monolith because it's only by marrying the upper core to the upper floors that he's able to bring enough mass to bear on the core to knock it down. A disorganized mass of core debris (meatball) won't be able to tear down the lower core.

UtterFail, Bazant needs to imagine the top "block" as a persistent monolith because, as I explained, that's the only mechanism he can offer for taking down the core: the weight of the floors married to the piledriving upper core section. In actuality, as the video shows, the top block of WTC1 came apart before the impact zone began to fail, so Bazant's theory has no resemblance to reality.

Ian, the 50 tons of jello was RGT's formulation. It's unconstrained because there's only 50 tons of it. If you spread out 50 tons of jello over one floor of the WTC it would be less than half an inch thick.

No, Ian, connected beams don't exert more force. What Bazant needs for more force is the connection of the core to the heavy concrete floors. Force equals mass times acceleration, remember? More mass is more force.

And GutterBall, if you are fluent in Newtonian mechanics and calculus, why is it necessary for you to resort to lying ad hominems?

Why can't you mount an engineering argument--for instance to refute the fact that Bazant assumes, based on his belief that the collapse developed in free-fall, that the top block strikes with energy transfer of 99% efficiency?
Don't you see the conflict with the 1st law of thermodynamics there? Don't you see the conflict with the second law in the collapse's symmetry?

Don't you see the conflict with Newton's 3rd in Dr. Bazant's belief that the top block can erode the lower structure while maintaining an immunity to reaction forces? Gosh, if that's true you could batter down a concrete wall with your fists because the striking object does not get damaged by the stricken object!

First of all, gay boi, stop pretending that you understand Bazant's paper; you don't understand the content found therein and you never will.

And there's no "if" as concerns my fluency in Newtonian mechanics and calculus. It's a fact, whether a compulsive liar and psychopath of your ilk believes it or not. That I'm fed up with you and the intellectual dishonesty, lies and stupidity that drips from every word you write should surprise no one.

You can lie about the accreting mass that crushed the twin towers until you're blue in the face; the fact remains that Bazant formulated expressions for consistent energy potentials and produced an exact solution that elegantly describes the collapse in two phases--crush down and crush up. Bazant explained that progressive collapse will ensue if the total internal energy loss exceeds the kinetic energy of the impact; the load capacity of the columns is wholly irrelevant, because gravity alone will suffice as long as the aforementioned conditions are met; and in the case of the twin towers, the conditions were exceeded by an order of magnitude.

Newton's third law, the law of conservation of energy, to say nothing of entropy, are irrelevant, and serve as nothing more than a distraction and a desperate attempt on your part to put lipstick on a pig--and you're the pig.

You have no idea what you're talking about, and thus, you babble like an idiot, while those of us with an education scoff at the ignorance and dishonesty you wear like a badge of honor.

Now stop wasting our time with this crap. You're a fool who prances around the Bay Area in an all-black costume and an Andalusian hat like some washed-up thespian from a bad Hollywood "thriller." If you had one ounce of self-awareness you'd be ashamed of yourself.

Bazant has no evidence whatsoever for his "crush-up" theory, which is in violation of the video evidence and of Newton's 3rd law. If a monolithic top block piledriver was crushing the towers down, how did "the spire" in the north tower escape its punishment?

You don't know what you're talking about, and your empty and undemonstrated claims of mathematical competence only show your epistemic incompetence. The claimed credentials of an anonymous internet poster are meaningless--but his conspicuous inability to mount an actual argument should be noted.

Gravity does not exempt the structure from the 1st and 2d laws of thermodynamics. Bazant's claim that the transfer of energy was 99% efficient is contradicted by his claim that there was an insulating mat of debris between the piledriver and the lower structure. No piledriver can hammer with 99% efficiency through a disorganized mat of pick-up sticks.

Your attempt to declare the laws of physics irrelevant is amusing. How's your perpetual motion machine coming along, genius? Got your batteries running an electric motor running a generator patented yet? Hurry up before somebody thinks of it first!

Your stupid questions are not evidence. Furthermore, you don't have "video evidence" because the collapse was shrouded in a cloud of pulverized concrete, as any honest observer--which excludes you, you lying prick--will readily acknowledge.

My presentation of evidence countering Dr. Bazant's ludicrous theory is hardly an argument from ignorance. The presence of the spire is proof that Bazant's piledriver did not exist.

I understand Bazant's nonsensical, reverse-engineered, hysterical, impossible theory just fine.

RGT, on page 4 of Dr. Bazant's "Why Did the World Trade Center Collapse?—Simple Analysis" paper (the third page) he claims that within a few floors of collapse propagation "the percentage of the kinetic energy dissipated plastically is then of the order of 1%."

He's saying there (page 7 in my copy) that something like 1% of the energy from the fall was deflected by bending and shearing. The top columns striking the bottom columns in perfect registration is not part of his model.

And why should the downward force of the top portion be something other than about 100%? You still weigh the same whether you wear clown shoes or high heels.

There is no "video evidence"--you ass.

Furthermore, your idiotic claim that Bazant's crush up theory violates Newton's 3rd law is unsubstantiated. All you've given us is your worthless, unqualified and unprofessional opinion. And the opinion of a failed janitor isn't worth the ASCII characters you waste to post it.

The Palo Alto Pud Huffer continues to lie and whines, "...My presentation of evidence countering Dr. Bazant's ludicrous theory is hardly an argument from ignorance."

You haven't presented "evidence." You claim that since, in your opinion, some event didn't occur, the only explanation is "controlled demolition," which is nothing more than an argument from ignorance. You're every bit as dishonest and deceptive as the creationists who "debate" advocates of evolution armed with nothing more than logical fallacies and an infinite capacity to lie.

"...I understand Bazant's nonsensical, reverse-engineered, hysterical, impossible theory just fine."

On the contrary, Pinocchio, your ignorance and dishonesty are proven beyond a doubt by your continued insistence that Bazant's theory is unsupported--which is a lie of epic proportions.

This is another demonstration of the goat molester's dishonesty.

His insistence on misquoting Bazant's first paper, titled Why Did the World Trade Center Collapse?—Simple Analysis, which was written hastily soon after 11 September 2001, while he ignores the far more detailed and exacting analysis found in Bazant and Verdure's Mechanics of Progressive Collapse--Learning From the World Trade Center and Building Demolitions, is intellectually dishonest, and proves the goat molester's argument is directed at low hanging fruit.

RGT, the top columns striking the bottom columns in perfect registration is certainly a factor in the part of the sequence where he claims that the columns are subject to 2pi rotation angles in buckling.

Why would the energy transfer be less than 100%? Because all the energy of friction, heat, pulverization, expulsion of dust, crushing, tearing, shearing, dismembering, and bending must be subtracted from the kinetic energy available to bring the building down.

UtterFail, your claim that there is no video evidence is desperate and absurd.

Bazant's crush-down/crush-up theory violates Newton's 3d on its face. Bazant claims that the crush-down piledriver is immune to reaction forces. He's full of shit.

I presented the persistence of the spire as irrefutable evidence that the piledriver did not exist.

As the paper explains, the energy thereby expended was negligible -- about 1%.

A brief check at Google Scholar shows that Bazant's "Simple Explanation" article is cited with approval by about 85 other papers. The scientific communicty has clearly accepted Bazant's findings, so you're gonna need more than meatballs and rakes to beat him.

RGT, Bazant makes the claim in his paper on the third page: "The sum of the rotation angles ... of the hinges on one column line ... cannot exceed 2(pi). (Fig. 2(b)) This upperbound value ... is used in the present calculations since, in regard to survival, it represents the most optimistic hypothesis, maximizing the plastic energy dissipation."

The paper doesn't explain that the inefficiency was negligible. The paper assumes that the inefficiency was negligible based on the belief that the towers fell at free fall and that no explosives were involved.

Bazant's belief that the towers could fall with 99% efficient energy transfer is absurd, and his silly piledriver hypothesis is given the lie by video evidence that shows that the top "block" of the north tower came apart, telescoping before the impact zone began to fail and the persistence of the core spire shows that no piledriving block was present.

UtterFail, Bazant's claim that his non-existent piledriver is immune to reaction forces is, on its face, contrary to Newton's 3rd Law.

False.

There's no evidence that the top block "came apart." The top block was an accreting mass. That the block tilted as it fell doesn't prove that it "came apart." Furthermore, you can't prove the top block "came apart" because the video evidence doesn't support your argument. The top block was shrouded in pulverized concrete dust as was pointed out by Dr. W. Gene Corley (or anyone else with a pair of eyes) and others who have far more credibility than you'll ever have, goat molester.

RGT, Bazant doesn't have to say it. The assumption of perfect registration is built into his calculations. The WTC columns are box columns. The only way you're going to get buckling rotation of 2(pi)is if the columns strike in perfect registration. If they're half an inch out of line you get shearing and telescoping with enormous frictional forces, and asymmetrical forces. Note that if the top block is rotated (on vertical axis) even 1/2 of one degree, the columns at the other end of a 209-foot wall will not strike at all.

Maybe a piledriver can transfer its kinetic energy to the pile with 99% efficiency. I doubt it. Even after a hundred years of engineering, automobiles only transfer about 25% of their fuel energy to the road.

Dr. Eagar's zipper-pancake collapse theory was conventional wisdom for three years despite its obvious absurdity. Many engineers continue to believe that the jet fuel melted the steel, despite the obvious absurdity of that. People are not paying attention.

WTC structural steel is stored at two locations in New York City and was examined by dozens of experts.

As the BBC points out, Professor Richard Sisson, of Worcester Polytechnic Institute near Boston, examined the piece of structural steel the goat fucker claims was described as "melted" by Dr. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl of UC Berkeley. As per standard operating procedure for the goat fucker, he takes speculation by Dr. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl and holds up the speculation as though it was scientifically determined evidence, which it is not.

The BBC wrote--and I quote: "...Professor Richard Sisson says it did not melt, it eroded. The cause was the very hot fires in the debris after 9/11 that cooked the steel over days and weeks.

"Professor Sisson determined that the steel was attacked by a liquid slag which contained iron, sulphur and oxygen.

"However, rather than coming from thermite, the metallurgist Professor Sisson thinks the sulphur came from masses of gypsum wallboard that was pulverised and burnt in the fires. He says:

"'I don't find it very mysterious at all, that if I have steel in this sort of a high temperature atmosphere that's rich in oxygen and sulphur this would be the kind of result I would expect.'"

UtterFail, your post is incompetent and incoherent.

You provide no evidence that the steel Dr. Astaneh described was the same as that analyzed by Dr. Sisson. Molten steel was reported by many witnesses.

Dr. Astaneh's report was not speculation. He saw "melting of girders". A professor of structural engineering can be expected to know a melted steel girder when he sees it. Why are you so hysterical as to deny simple facts?

Professor Brown and Professor Knapton said the collapses happened because the steel melted. Professor Kausel and Professor Block agreed that melting was possible. Professor Sisson's remarks made in 2008 about the sulfidation attack on his own steel sample have nothing to do with the other Professors' remarks made in 2001.

The piece of steel that was analyzed by Professor Richard Sisson is the same piece of steel cited in Dr. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl's testimony, and was described by the New York Times as "perhaps the deepest mystery uncovered in the investigation."

So far, all we have is your opinion. And the opinion of a proven double-talking liar isn't worth the ASCII characters you waste to post it.

Here's the proof that you're lying about the unavailability of WTC steel for forensic investigation.

"...To retrieve the steel, a crew from the county’s Buildings and Grounds Division will drive today to Hangar 17 at the JFK Airport. An 80,000-square-foot warehouse, the hangar is where the Port Authority stores steel, ambulances, PATH turnstiles and other artifacts connected to 9/11 and the felled towers."

ButtGoo, you claimed that Astaneh's "melted girders" and Sisson's eroded steel were the same. It is for you to prove it. You can't.

NIST discusses 236 samples of steel in its report. Only 3 of them show heating above 480 degrees F. The steel in the warehouse has not been shown to support NIST's claim that the steel was heat-weakened.

Thus it would appear that any steel that showed heat-weakening was destroyed before NIST could take samples.

You're not very bright, are you? I'm sure you worked very hard to get where you are, and you're so dumb you don't know it's nowhere.

False. You claim there were a over a dozen samples. That's a lie. There was only one sample, which I've already proven. Thus, the burden of proof falls on your shoulder's and your shoulder's alone to prove there were over a dozen samples.

But you can't provide that evidence, can you--you scurrilous liar?

No, I'm calling YOU a liar who misrepresents data, and scientific evidence. And not only am I making the accusation, I've proven the accusation repeatedly.

For example, you claim that Drs. Biederman and Barnett contradict Dr Sisson's findings. That claim, however, is a bald-faced lie. In fact, the investigation took place at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute under the direction of Drs. Biederman and Sisson. Thus, there is no contradiction, and WE CAN SEE THAT YOU'RE LYING AGAIN.

What's this, goat fucker?

"Presented by: Prof. Ronald Biederman, George F. Fuller Professor of Mechanical Engineering

"Abstract

"Several Steel samples from Buildings 7, 1 and 2 of the World Trade Center were collected during the Federal Emergency Management Agency forensic investigation shortly after the September 11, 2001 incident. Macroscopically the steel samples supplied had severe "erosion" with plate thickness varying from 12.7mm to a total loss of metal in many areas. Also, some localized plastic deformation was observed. A determination of the cause of this unexpected erosion and an estimate of the maximum temperature that this steel likely experienced will be present along with a perspective on the implications that this damage may pose for high rise structural steel buildings."

Thus, we can see, once again, that you're lying and misrepresenting the findings of Drs. Biederman, Barnett and Sisson.

You're babbling like an Ian. I didn't misrepresent anything.

I said Dr. Biederman and Dr. Barnett do not corroborate Dr. Sisson's claims on BBC. Your inability to distinguish among "do not corroborate", "refute", and "contradict" shows your incompetence.

The WPI investigation did not support Sisson's claim that gypsum eroded the steel. The Vander Voort paper did not support Sisson's claim that gypsum eroded the steel. Neither Biederman nor Barnett support Sisson's claim that gypsum eroded the steel.

You're silly and you don't know what you're talking about.
