Hey, I don't know if this beam weapon idea is right or not. I do know that beam weapons are theoretically possible, otherwise they wouldn't have been working on them for so long. Whether they actually exist, whether they could actually do damage like this, I don't know. Don't misunderstand. I don't know. I'm just trying to make sense of observations. I see steel turning into dust.
Beam weapons in general aren't just theory, they do exist. What doesn't exist is a weapon large enough, and with flexible enough features, to do all the various things you claim must have happened.
You're speculating about a weapon that
might exist, using physics that
might exist, applied by engineering that
might exist, producing effects it
might be capable of, used in a way that someone
might choose to use it, on targets that
might show some effects of such a weapon.
That's at least might^6, right there.
At the same time, you reject the plane impacts that we know happened, the fires that we know happened, the buckling of the perimeter columns that we know happened, the existence of drywall, concrete, and fireproofing in the steel, that we know exists, turning to large amounts of dust, which we know happened, being entrained in a vortex behind a falling piece of wall, which vortex effect we know exists, impacting on buildings below, which we know happened, causing said buildings to be damaged or to collapse, which we know can happen, and impacting on cars and trucks, which we know happened, causing said cars and trucks to be partially crushed, which could lead to fuel leaks and subsequently fires, which we know can happen, which fires, because of their placement, did not burn some paper nearby, which we know can happen, and melted or burned the rubber on the tires, which we know can happen, while not being hot enough to melt the steel belting in said tires, which we also know can happen.
Did I miss anything?
So, what's the scientific explanation for all this? Sh## Happens.
No, Seriously, Sh## Happens.
In such a massive, high-energy, chaotic event, a lot of weird stuff will happen. Random debris will randomly affect one spot, but not another. Some spots will randomly be more likely to catch fire, or explode, or something. Trying to predict which is which, or even to come up with comprehensive explanations after the fact, is basically impossible. Even with perfect knowledge of the day's events, which we know we don't have.
So, what do we have? Might^6, vs. a whole lot of random , but known, effects, that when taken in total simply overwhelms us. And you think your ideas are simply more plausible?
