From wiki: materials science

"The major determinants of the structure of a material and thus of its properties are its constituent chemical elements and the way in which it has been processed into its final form."

This is why the folks who insist on mass composition above all else are missing the point. The structure of the atoms determines the property of a material as much as the elements that a material is made of.

If you have a foam-like object and determine that it is made up largely of iron, and this has been found in the WTC dust, wow! So it being iron ain't enough. It has to be iron foam, and it has to be found in the WTC dust to show that a plane crash did not destroy the WTC. Unless plane crashes generate metallic foam, which they don't.

Your quoted text does not mean what you said it does.

Someone needs to look at the materials science a little harder, instead of ping-ponging through it on your google trip down obfuscation lane.

I've been told that the natural resonance frequency of steel and other dense materials is 10^13 hertz, but I'm still figuring this part out. Any comments?

Resonance is not a sneaky way of 'gaining energy'. You can't gain energy. It's not a Theory of Energy Conservation, it's a Law. If you've managed to get around that, then congratulations, you'll be the richest person on the planet by patenting a perpetual motion engine.

More or less in the middle of the infrared.

Infrared light has lots of practical applications, but has not (so far as I am aware) ever been observed to cause steel items to crumble to dust.

No laws of physics were violated on 9/11. That you could imagine it might be so puzzles me.
 
Do you have any qualifications which are relevant to building collapse, engineering, physics or materials sciences in general? My understanding so far is that you're a biologist by training. Would you ask an astrophysicist for a detailed explaination of ToE? Or ask a plumber how to wire your house?

And more to the point, can you quantify the amount of dust produced in the collapse?
 
"How much" you ask ?

I don't want to read what you think of the truthers. I already know. "Chewy doesn't like truthers."

Yep ! -Chewy hates "truthers" -

Do not make personal attacks.

It would be unscientific to speculate concerning that dust's composition until we have results from a competent analysis. On the other hand, I have to admit that nothing else I've seen in this thread bears so striking a resemblance to metallic foam.

If you know the provenance of that kitten, then your scientific knowledge of dust bunnies would surpass WTC Dust's, displacing her into the #3 position.
 
For a kitten that's just been resonated to 10^13 Hz I think it looks remarkably well.
 
Kittens are able to defy physics at will.

Oh crap I just worked it all out... The KITTEHS did 911!

What do you think did it?

Depends on what you mean by "did it". If you mean "made the buildings fall down", I think it was impact damage plus fire weakening the steel around the crash sites until a collapse began (which inevitably produced vast clouds of dust). If you mean "caused thousands of tons of solid steel to turn to dust in the space of a few seconds" then nothing did, because that did not happen.

This is a valid criticism. It doesn't invalidate my research, but it is a good point.

That's right. It's your baffling lack of basic scientific understanding, in light of your impressive academic credentials, that invalidates your research.

What?!?

You come in here making absurd claims, expecting to be taken seriously as a research scientist, and then want us to evaluate your sense of humor?

That's it. I call Meta-Troll.
