Anders,
Are you going to accept my wager or not?
You know these stones are "in atari", don't you?
Tom
Pls describe the wager again in simple terms. What is it you are going to prove that I do not agree with? And why is a wager required? Just prove that I am wrong.

I would be very sure of the terms of any wager with T nefore you accept Heiwa. Force him to lay it out in 6 lines or less. Utter clarity is needed.
bill,
You have some unfinished business as well.
Please refer to this post:

When can you point us to the proof that you said clearly you have already posted.
All it takes is a link, bill...

The wager is clearly laid out in the 2nd & 4th paragraphs of this post:

A grand total of 4 sentences.
Tom
No, you have not shown yourself to be a good enough boy yet T. You must try harder.
Well if it is in two paragrahs it is not clear to me. Please, make it one paragraph and thus one sentence or, max two. What do you want to prove that I do not agree with? Why not just prove me wrong, HERE, in front of ... a few posters.

Yes...it would be utterly horrible if Heiwa was tricked into communicating clearly for two weeks! How could he bear such a terrible burden?
I as trying to email somebody today but all I got was the following message,

Sophmoric, Anders.
The Wager:
I claim that, dropped from the same height, a complex, 3 dimensional structure, like multiple stories of a building, (i.e., something that is not a solid block) will generate a HIGHER peak force in the components of whatever structure on which they fall AFTER the dropped parts have been broken up & compacted than they would generate in their original, "pre-broken" state. As compacted rubble, it will also deliver a higher pressure, resulting in a higher stress and more damage in the impacted part.
A couple of clarifications:
1. The argument that "the pressure & stress will be the same when the impacted part breaks" is not an out. This relates to the peak force & pressure that the falling components are capable of delivering.
2. Note also that I am specifically excluding the vertical columns (<10% of the debris by weight, according to Ulrich) from the second part (i.e., "higher pressure") of this assertion. Due to their initially vertical position, they are quite effective as spears, delivering high pressures. But, in the case of the towers collapse, the assertion above stands for the 90+% of the rubble, which is NOT the vertical columns.

The Procedure:
We'll proceed like any published paper. I'll make my case. You get to make a rebuttal. I'll answer your rebuttal. The judges will decide the winner.
The Judges:
The judges of the wager will be any of the mechanical engineers, structural engineers or physicists posting here. Excluding you & me.
The Pot:
When you lose this wager (and you will), you will promise to answer ALL the questions that anyone puts to you for two weeks. Honestly & in detail. Without resorting to evasion OR "read my paper".

Heiwa has disposed of any argument or theory put to him by any and all debunkers for he six months or so that I have been posting here.
He refers you regularly to his paper which is only a click away and for which he frequently provides a link.He does not need to do more. YOU need to do more.
