Won't get 8 parts to this thread, not in my lifetime.
And sue me if I'm wrong. If we're both still here then ...
No suit - I agree.
In terms of Jones ego tripping the "nano thermxte" debacle was simply an unsubtle marketing ploy to lift his fading image. And in my judgement the last one which will "succeed" - he may try another one but...
The loser tactic with "supernanothermite" is that he plays off the "nano" thing as if it was a "nano technology" which it isn't in the usual meaning of that term. The pivot points of failure obvious to anyone with some basic physics is that:
1 finely grinding the particles simply releases the same energy faster, ask any ammunition reloader (yes I know but it is good enough for a broad explanation.); AND
2 even if it is four times "stronger" than standard thermite there is no way it could be used in the situation which happened at WTC.
Thermxte in any form never was and never could be a plausible deliberate use technology to assist collapse occurring by the actual mechanisms which applied at WTC on 9/11.
Now not being able to explain how it could be used has never stopped the core "truthers" - they revel in half truths and innuendo.
But the bottom line must be that the number of part way plausible silly ideas the truthers can invent is running out.
