Paradoxically, while you say facts necessary to arrive at a conclusion are unknown, you're quite convinced of a conclusion all the same. That seems like religion, doesn't it?
That depends on how many FACTS about 9/11 are EXTREMELY peculiar.
Hijackers grab planes the same day the US military JUST HAPPENS to be running multiple simulations.
I can't fly but I would think people who had never flown airliners before might have just a bit of trouble doing suicide missions on targets 200 feet wide at 400 and 500 mph. Professional pilots don't land planes at that speed. They usually don't fly that fast at that low an altitude. That doesn't even bring up the issue of the drag on the planes at the higher air density of 1000 feet.
Then there is the amount of steel in the impact zone that supposedly weakened in less than ONE HOUR for the south tower and less than TWO HOURS for the north and then the experts don't make a big deal about the distribution of steel.
Then there is the collapse time which when computed purely on the basis of the conservation of momentum makes the so called collapse EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS.
The list of weird things about 9/11 is far too long.
But it is the 9/11 Religion versus the 9/11 Psychosis. People running around screaming "Inside Job" while talking about Free Fall SPEED are ridiculous. DUH, it's called Free Fall ACCELERATION.
But the lack of discussion about the energy required to collapse each LEVEL much less not inquiring about the AMOUNT OF STEEL on each level is even more ridiculous. Regardless of how dumb the people on the Psychosis side are the people on the Religious side have to conjure up delusional physics to make this fly. The inherent nature of skyscrapers in having to hold themselves up against gravity makes this extremely doubtful.
This can only be a good thing. After you do that, do you want to do the same for steel columns?
It would be nice but we don't have accurate data on the perimeter columns. We have no data on the horizontal beams in the core. The most doing these calculations on my model will do is emphasize the lack of data on the real buildings. Though it may show how irrelevant Potential Energy calculations on masses without empty space beneath them are to this problem.
Of course if it collapse is PROVEN IMPOSSIBLE then our engineering schools will LOOK REALLY STUPID for a really long time.
