How it is possible for all the core columns (47 or so, give or take if some were damaged) were able to all fail simultaneously to cause the tower to fall vertically and symmetrically. This is an amazing event to have the heat energy all around the interior to be sustained and heat precise enough to cause the steel members to fail in the exact time whether it be trusses or columns. Not even positioned large blow torches can create this event. Heat distribution would be different for each column due to the density of the materials and what is in contact with it. This is not even accounting for the variations of fire burning in an area. Realistically I am sure all the core columns and trusses were not exposed like a skeleton. There had to be intact areas of drywall and other structure as well as debris build up in others. The floors could not have possible fallen like a pancake. In reality only sections would buckle and give way but would likely fall sideways while other areas would stay intact. Photographs do not show evenly distributed fires all around the tower so this helps illustrate my point here. The official collapse theory with fire is not very plausible in this event.
Thirdly. The collapse and progression. How is it possible that the Potential energy of the 18 floors of structure above the collapse point when it became kinetic energy was able to destroy 92 or so stories of building in less than 12 seconds? If the 18 stories of building was crashing into the floors below and was able to convert it’s kinetic energy into the energy to destroy all the joints of the core columns and pulverize the concrete into fine dust and eject it out in all directions hundreds of feet away from the footprint area of the building. How is it possible that the collapse was able to continue once it depleted itself of mass? Why did it at least not slow down as the mass amounts lessened (besides the resistance factor)? Consider these facts:
All the concrete was pulverized into dust. The largest pieces of concrete found were about the size of a baseball. The rest coated the streets around the city like volcanic ash.
The materials being pulverized inside the building were being ejected out of the building footprint area in some cases horizontally and as far as +/-150 feet out all around the structure.
All the core columns and most of the perimeter walls were shattered at their joints.
All the congregated steel floor sheets along with the trusses and office contents was pulverized on every floor.
All the windows were shattered into fine particles almost to the point of silica
All this occurred at the rate of +/-10 floors a second. It would take roughly 6 tenths of a second for a floor to be pulverized.
The entire building was destroyed at this level in 10-12 seconds.
Physics challenge: Calculate the energy levels necessary to do the described above and whether or not the kind of mass structure provided (potential energy) would be able to do this and be able to overcome the dissipative forces (resistance) of the mass below without the use of any other catalyst?
How is it possible for these 18 floors to destroy 92 floors without the 18 floors depleting themselves of material? How was the mass able to overcome resistance so methodically? If the floors were being destroyed at a rate of 10 floors a second the area mass of falling building would have depleted itself of mass in less than 2 seconds. Since they are of the same composition they must have the same ability to loose their integrity equally. Since the majority of mass was being ejected out (this started as soon as it made contact with eachother) what was left to cause the collapse to continue? The mass could not have collected on top of each floor in large amounts since this would have resulted in a large centralized debris pile in the footprint area. This did not occur. The photos show it was spread out everywhere. The debris pile in the footprint areas was about 60 feet high or so.
Size of this mass is irrelevant in this equation because they are equal when making contact. I do want to note however that the core columns density became thicker as they went down the tower. It was designed this way because of the load bearing requirements. This should have played into the collapse equation.
In physics energy can only be transferred when a change occurs. In this case, If potential energy is converted into Kinetic energy but then converted again into the energy to pulverize the concrete and eject it out, how is the mass able to maintain it’s kinetic energy? This goes against the laws of physics. Kinetic energy is slowed down by dissipative forces and that is exactly what should have taken place. The 18 floors should have depleted and the collapse should have halted. This is pure physics. This has nothing to do with conspiracy.
Perpetual motion cannot be applied here because with perpetual motion, no energy is wasted. With the WTC all of the energy was wasted because the concrete was pulverized and energy was wasted ejecting it out. Energy was also wasted shattering the joints of the huge steel core column members and energy was wasted in the basement levels where pools of molten steel were found (meaning that kinetic energy would have had to be converted into heat energy) In reality however due to dissipative forces the kinetic energy would have depleted far sooner before it got this far down. This is just to illustrate that perpetual motion is not applicable.
