Evidently "be nice" must mean something different to him than it does to me...alot like "be logical".
You won't convince me
None so blind as those who will not see

I do realize that, I just wanted to make sure readers did too.
It doesn't matter how good the evidence is for some people, they will not be convinced, therefore there's no need to look at anything that doesn't already agree with them.
I get that, and I get why. I don't have to like it.

You mean, like the evidence that when you suddenly drop a giant chunk of a building that weighs thousands of tons down onto the rest of the building, the remaining portion can't absorb the impact and a cascading failure occurs? You mean evidence like that? Evidence that every kid has experienced by the time he's two, with building blocks? lol
Yeah, I agree... It obviously doesn't matter how good the evidence is.

That isn't evidence, it's a baseless assumption.
If you drop building blocks on building blocks they don't crush themselves into oblivion.
That 'giant chunk of a building' had an even more giant chunk of building underneath it. 95 is a 'huger' chunk than 15. Equal opposite reaction, and momentum conservation laws prove that it could not completely collapse, something that every kid learns once they take classes in basic physics, and progress beyond 'building blocks'.

I must say Anok, you are far more patient than I am.
I get frustrated trying to explain the physics...seems so obvious to me...GAAA! I'm sure plenty of folks think the same of me.
The physics doesn't lie, but apparently plenty of physicists do.
You're a trooper though, gotta hand it to you.

I'm a physicist. I don't lie! I'm just stubborn.

Well that is a fact. Now can you find me one that pertains to the list Tango. Please.

That is the 2nd law of motion, what is your point?
All that means is the acceleration of an object is dependent on the mass of the object, and the forces acting on it.
But you can't take the 2nd law and ignore the 3rd law, equal and opposite reaction.
The only force acting to cause the top to drop was gravity according to the OS. The acceleration was minimal, and would not cause the force to increase enough to overcome the massive resistance of undamaged structure.
You still have 15 floors falling on 95 floors. Even IF those 15 floors suddenly weighed the same as 30 floors, the collapse would still not be complete. IF those 15 floors stayed as one block crushing 95 floors, what crushed the 15 blocks? Did 14 floors crush one floor, then 13 floors crush the next floor until they were all gone lol?
The sad thing is this is so easily proven, take any solid object, like steel pans and concrete slabs, and try to get a lesser amount to crush a larger amount by simply dropping them. You can't do it. Physics is physics, and the laws do not change because it was WTC buildings.
