Because he hadn’t been born yet would be my guess, and his “professors” were teachers at his middle school.
They had shredders in 2001? No, wait–I had a shredder of my own in 2001, so others might’ve had them, too. Ah, the days of Bring You Kid to Work Day, when other people’s kids thought it was a great honor to shred a year’s worth of my security drawings!
You’d think, wouldn’t you? In a logical world there would not be people so stupid as to believe this shit, but no, the innertubes are infested with people who saw Loose Change on YouTube and now think they’re experts. Always the same bullshit arguments like they are reading from Dylan Avery’s playbook; always the same denial of facts; always the same claims of engineering mastery when they know nothing. Trolling? I wishbombthefeds was trolling.
Oh, and bombthefeds? Change the username. It makes you sound psychotic, on top of your being misinformed and uninformable.
I would say physics has some place in the discussion, at a very basic and simplified level. For instance, it’s fair to look at simplified models of skyscrapers, and the scale effects of collapse. A one-foot model of the WTC topples sideways, but a hundred-foot model pancakes much the way the real one did.
Certainly, at a detailed level, it’s engineering and architecture, not raw physics. But, just as chemistry reduces to physics in the simplest cases, so can engineering.
From this relevant site… “The temperature at the center of a paper fire is 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, give or take a couple hundred. The tips of the flames themselves are usually between 600 and 800 degrees.”
