Free fall means free of energy

Falling objects cannot damage anything as Maorkkan explains:

It is a violation of the principle of conversation of energy, there was no gravitational energy left to break the building apart as it fell, it went all to freefall, so there needs to be another different energy.

ETA: Here's another one in the same post:

Architects and the most engineers do not have the expertise of physics, dont lie to me please.


I had an expertise once but it got out if it's cage and ran away.

Sure seems like it.
Tidal power is extra bizarre. Its not solar, like other hydro-power. Putting resistance on it might even affect the moon's orbit. Very little, I'm sure.

The energy that drives hydrologic cycle on Earth comes from the sun. He was right about that. It's the claim that exploiting tidal power can affect the orbit of the Moon is where he takes a hard left turn into cuckoo-land.

The rotation rate of the Earth affects the distance of the Moon. If the tides are altered it will affect the Earth's rotation rate which will affect the distance to the Moon.

Why so? It sounds like standard physics to me. To simplify his argument a little, exploitation of tidal power would change the time-varying distribution of oceanic mass on earth, which would likely result in some small perturbation in the orbit of the moon. As he acknowledged, the effect would be "very little".

I also fail to see the connection to a conspiracy theory, but I haven't checked the context.

ETA: While I was composing this, matt.tansy gave an even simpler explanation.

But would human intervention affect the Moon in any way that would be substantial enough to cause worry?

Nah. If we could extract a gajaliionwatt·hours per year out of tidal power it would move the Moon about half a nanometer out.

I'm quite sure that train engineers have a very good innate sense of physics in action. If not they wouldn't remain in that job for very long.

I guess they could just text their physics major friend if they ever had a question while on the job.

So abaddon, can you show me they were bouncing photons off the Apollo 11 LRRR way back in 1969, 1970, and so on? I doubt it. I believe we will find this to not be the case. It is researchable. we will find restricted access in those days and that will mean, military use and Apollo fraud to plant them there. We shall see. It will be interesting. Again , the point is, if Wampler is correct, there is zero chance we would put a passive device up there. So Apollo authenticity is utterly dependent on Wampler being wrong about the military applications of LRRR ranging. If Wampler is correct, WE MUST FIND THE LRRR TO NOT BE PASSIVE. ITS ACCESS WILL HAVE BEEN RESTRICTED.

That poster excels at arguments of the form of "I'll make some stuff up and unless you can prove me wrong that means I WIN"

Patrick1000 seems to have stayed out of the running so far by never saying anything comprehensible. On the rare occasions when he does, we can see why he'd rather not.



They weren't worried about the Soviets being able to figure out they weren't on the moon by tracking radio signals and finding out there weren't any, but one single laser could have blown apart the whole conspiracy.

Lasers... is there anything they can't do?

I love how these conspiracies are able to fool most of the world, yet they are always incredibly easy to "uncover".

The questions were stupid. You have no point. When you answer my questions you will see some irony in UBL's statement/translation, or not. Good luck, you picked Kevin Ryan, he has the same evidence you have, zero.

How will you tie this UBL tripe to WTC 7 and Kevin Ryan's delusions on 911? Can you make a point?
