"It is observed that a higher temperature object which is in contact with a lower temperature object will transfer heat to the lower temperature object. The objects will approach the same temperature, and in the absence of loss to other objects, they will then maintain a constant temperature. They are then said to be in thermal equilibrium. Thermal equilibrium is the subject of the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics."

The 'putty' comment is essentially an analogy I used, but the principal is rather the same, Being found after long-term exposure, then it can reasonably be assumed that if it was indeed dripping with molten steel, the host beam would be at or near the same temperature, and efforts to remove it from the debris pile would have resulted in warping or distortion of the host beam.
You do not know what the conditions were.
Neither do you. I've been arguing based on analyzing the context of the witness accounts you have given. Nothing more.
Please
Anyone can recognize molten metal, it doesn't require a knowledge of metallurgy.
And I mostly certainly don't doubt that there was to some extent molten metal in the debris pile. But the constant mingling of
molten metal and
molten steel should be an indicator of the point I am trying to make to you. Most if not all of the witnesses are not trained in metallurgy to recognize the differences between the two terms or are able to recognize the type of molten metal right off the bat as steel just by looking at it. And understandably so...
You are relying solely on witnesses whom you cannot be certain are identifying the classification of metal correctly or not. You continually seem to ignore this glaring problem. Molten aluminum would not be surpirizing given the temperatures of the smoldering fires, (and it's abundance from being used on the facades of the trade centers and the planes, as well as the cars in the area). Hell if steel were glowing cherry red, or red-orange it wouldn't be entirely surprising given that temperatures in the debris pile were hovering around 1500 oF for as long as 6 weeks following the collapse of the towers.
Furthermore it seems that no samples of the molten material that was found was ever sampled for experimentation.
You continue to put words in my mouth by asking if I am calling people like Fuchek liars or idiots... I'm not calling them either... you missed the point I was making entirely. But you seem to have unfathomed expectations by assuming that everyone can identify the type of metal they see right off the bat.
Your half baked attempts to deny these clear statements that confirm the existence of molten steel only serve to prove your inability to accept anything that undermines the Cheney/Bush conspiracy theory.
[derail] which reminds me, how exactly does molten metal prove a controlled demolition in the firs place? Controlled demolitions do not typically result in this phenomenon, and thermite if we ever assumed this was the cause, would have run out of steam within a very short period of time, any metal or rather 'steel' would begin to solidify again the moment the heat source sufficient to maintain a liquid state is lost[/derail]
