This is for people who do not know how to apply basic physics to real events - including it would seem - NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). Look at the Jenga tower in the picture. There are gaps everywhere where the wooden building bricks have been removed. Yet it still stands. You can... Continue Reading →
No place for contentious criticism on 9/11
Some poor academic, Jean-Pierre Rocher, has written a book "History of the 20th Century in Flash Cards" published by Ellipses. Jean-Pierre Rocher, based on surveys of under 35s found that 21% of them believed the statement: "This global event – without doubt orchestrated by the CIA (secret services) to impose American influence on the Middle...

9/11 and another beer-can analogy
Further to my earlier experiment on 3 January I conducted the third and final beer-can experiment. What it showed was you cannot take two chunks out of the side of a beer-can and expect it to be as strong as a non-fractured can. However there were lessons to learn. I took a brick weighing 4.92...

More on beer-can analogy
I have previously written about beer-cans as an analogy for 9/11 twin towers and how they could not have fallen as they did. Christmas Day 2017 I proved that two empty Banks' beer-cans would independently support the weight of child A (weighing 25 kilos or 55 lbs) and child B (weighing 45 kilos or 99... Continue Reading →
A single twin tower from beer-cans
What the truth is about 9/11 and the demolition of the twin towers remains to be discovered. Certainly the official explanation does not hold water. You only have to read Richard Gage on the crush-down crush-up theory of Bazant to know what bunkum it is.“Evidently this crush down model and theory is complete nonsense, but... Continue Reading →
Structural steel and 9/11
My thesis was about Midland novelist Robert Bage who was also a paper-mill owner. His eldest son Charles was a wine-merchant, surveyor and later a pioneer in structural iron. He designed the oldest iron-structured building in England which still stands today and is a listed building. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ditherington_Flax_Mill His father was a supporter of equal-rights, education...

Crates and Cranes (9/11)
Photocredit: commons.wikimedia.org I am attempting here to demonstrate simply why the Twin Towers and Building 7 could not have fallen in on themselves as they appeared to do without some kind of controlled demolition. The tragedy of that fateful day in September 2001 will never be forgotten and the families of victims should learn the... Continue Reading →
Why those of us on the left should not protest against Donald Trump
In a few hours Donald Trump will be inaugurated 45th President of the United States. He has made some outlandish statements regarding immigrants and women without even mentioning environmental issues. In his favour he has promised to take on the big pharmaceutical companies, improve relations with Russia and withdraw from supporting war in foreign lands.... Continue Reading →
