We know how strong it will be too,about as strong as a 30x dilution.
Here is a terrific (& very recent) calibration of exactly how compelling his letter is going to be.
There is a thread over at 911forums that is discussing proper applications of conservation of momentum and conservation of energy. Heiwa's been dropping gems.
He attempted to do something over there that he virtually never did here: he tried to actually answer a question. Numerically.
A simple question. A trivial question. A high school level "conservation of momentum / conservation of energy" question.
You all can see for yourself
exactly why he gave up attempting to give anwers ...

Hm, funny mass C of 1 kg and velocity 10 m/s collides with stationary funny mass A also of 1 kg and applies its energy 50 J to A. After collision (C is glued to A and accelerates A) both A and C has same velocity 7.07 m/s and move as one mass of 2 kg glued together with energy 50 J.
Now - before collision/glueing together) C had momentum 10 kgm/s. After collision A+C (now one mass of 2 kg) have momentum 14.14 kgm/s (and energy 50J).
Imagine that A+C (2 kg at 7.07 m/s) collides with stationary D (1kg) and forms A+C+D (3kg) proceeding at 5.77 m/s (and 50 J energy). But the momentum is 17.31 kgm/s
And so on. When 100 masses A, C, D ... are glued together they proceed at 1 m/s velocity (50 J energy is still there) and the momentum is 100 kgm/s.
What do we learn from above? Evidently that a mass A of 1 kg moving at 10 m/s has same kinetic energy as a mass X of 100 kg moving at 1 m/s, i.e. 50 J, but that A and X have different momentums; A:s is 10 kgm/s and X:s is 100 kgm/s. It is simple physics. And the glue! It slows things down but adds momentum.
"... the glue adds momentum ..."??!!!

Here was my response to his nonsense:

The pertinent point is at the bottom:

Conservation of momentum is a demonstrated law of the universe. It is NEVER violated. Ever. From subatomic particles, to photons, to Brownian motion, colliding billiard balls, to falling portions of buildings, to colliding galaxies.
...
Heiwa's conclusion that an inelastic collision between a 1 kg, 10 m/s object and a 1kg, 0 m/s object produces a 2 kg, 7.07 m/s object (in order to maintain CoE) gets an "F" grade in freshman physics. It is simply wrong.
Momentum IS conserved. The end result is that you have a 2 kg, 5 m/s object.
Hilarity ensues.
Heiwa came back with the following:
Heiwa said:
Hm, that was an elastic collision where objects continued at different angles (difference 90°) after collision, where CoM and CE are perfectly conserved. Please, use vectors and you'll understand.
Sure thing, Heiwa.
An "elastic collision"... where "After collision (C is glued to A and accelerates A) both A and C has same velocity 7.07 m/s and move as one mass of 2 kg glued together ..."
As I said above, if Heiwa were in a junior high school physics class, he'd get an "F" with this answer. Heiwa's understanding of this stuff is non-existent.
I don't expect anything different in his ASCE blatherings. It should be amusing.

PS. Heiwa's rudeness is as abundant as ever. As you can see in this post & the ones following it.

PPS. Anyone interested in a peek into the deeper origins of the laws of conservation of momentum & energy might find the rest of my post over there interesting. Here's the link again.

PPPS. I can only imagine what BS is gonna say. Someone else explain to him what an "F" grade means, please. Attempting to explain conservation of momentum or energy, for the 100th time, would be a clear case of (literally) pearls before swine, of course.
