An analysis of the World Trade Center collapse has challenged a conspiracy theory surrounding the 9/11 attacks.

The study by a Cambridge University engineer demonstrates that once the collapse of the twin towers began, it was destined to be rapid and total.

One of many conspiracy theories proposes that the buildings came down in a manner consistent with a "controlled demolition".

The study suggests a different explanation for how the towers fell.

Over 2,800 people were killed in the devastating attacks on New York.

After reviewing television footage of the Trade Center's destruction, engineers had proposed the idea of "progressive collapse" to explain the way the twin towers disintegrated on 11 September 2001.

This mode of structural failure describes the way the building fell straight down rather than toppling, with each successive floor crushing the one beneath (an effect called "pancaking").

Resistance to collapse

Dr Keith Seffen set out to test mathematically whether this chain reaction really could explain what happened in Lower Manhattan six years ago. The findings are to be published in the Journal of Engineering Mechanics.

Previous studies have tended to focus on the initial stages of collapse, showing that there was an initial, localised failure around the aircraft impact zones, and that this probably led to the progressive collapse of both structures.

Man stands amid rubble of the World Trade Center, AFP/Getty Once the collapse began, it was destined to be "rapid and total" In other words, the damaged parts of the tower were bound to fall down, but it was not clear why the undamaged building should have offered little resistance to these falling parts.

"The initiation part has been quantified by many people; but no one had put numbers on the progressive collapse," Dr Seffen told the BBC News website.

Dr Seffen was able to calculate the "residual capacity" of the undamaged building: that is, simply speaking, the ability of the undamaged structure to resist or comply with collapse.

His calculations suggest the residual capacity of the north and south towers was limited, and that once the collapse was set in motion, it would take only nine seconds for the building to go down.

This is just a little longer than a free-falling coin, dropped from the top of either tower, would take to reach the ground.

'Fair assumption'

The University of Cambridge engineer said his results therefore suggested progressive collapse was "a fair assumption in terms of how the building fell".

"One thing that confounded engineers was how falling parts of the structure ploughed through undamaged building beneath and brought the towers down so quickly," said Dr Seffen.

The south tower of the World Trade Center collapses, AP Conspiracy theorists see evidence of a "controlled detonation" He added that his calculations showed this was a "very ordinary thing to happen" and that no other intervention, such as explosive charges laid inside the building, was needed to explain the behaviour of the buildings.

The controlled detonation idea, espoused on several internet websites, asserts that the manner of collapse is consistent with synchronised rows of explosives going off inside the World Trade Center.

This would have generated a demolition wave that explained the speed, uniformity and similarity between the collapses of both towers.

Conspiracy theorists assert that these explosive "squibs" can actually be seen going off in photos and video footage of the collapse. These appear as ejections of gas and debris from the sides of the building, well below the descending rubble.

Other observers say this could be explained by debris falling down lift shafts and impacting on lower floors during the collapse.

Dr Seffen's research could help inform future building design. Subscribe to *4um PSY-OP Club*

Research Interests and Background

Jones conducted research at the Idaho National Laboratory, in Arco, Idaho where, from 1979 to 1985, he was a senior engineering specialist. He was principal investigator for experimental muon-catalyzed fusion from 1982 to 1991 for the U.S. Department of Energy, Division of Advanced Energy Projects. From 1990 to 1993, Jones studied fusion in condensed matter physics and deuterium under U.S. Department of Energy and Electric Power Research Institute sponsorship. Jones also collaborated in experiments at other physics labs, including TRIUMF (Vancouver, British Columbia), KEK (Tsukuba, Japan), and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at Oxford University.

Jones' interests also extend to archaeometry, solar energy,[2][3] and, like many professors at BYU, archaeology and the Book of Mormon.[4]

For example, he has sought radiocarbon dating evidence of the existence of pre- Columbian horses in the Americas,[5] and has interpreted archaeological evidence from the ancient Mayans as supporting his faith's belief that Jesus Christ visited America.[6]

Hey shit for brains, here's the BIO on Dr. Stephen Jones, Dr. of Divinity (or whatever) who has his own ministry and only obtained a degree in Theology, not Physics...

God's Kingdom Ministries

Dr. STEPHEN E. Jones was born in Marion, Indiana January 29, 1950. At the age of three, his parents went as missionaries to the Philippine Islands under the Christian and Missionary Alliance, and they spent a total of nine years in that far-off land. Upon returning to America, they lived in Minnesota, where Stephen finished high school and then went to St. Paul Bible College and the University of Minnesota, majoring in Philosophy and Humanities. He later received his masters degree and doctorate from the Minnesota Graduate School of Theology.

Now here's some info on the PHYSICIST Dr. STEVEN Jones, Ph. D. Physics.

Education

Jones earned his bachelor's degree in physics, magna cum laude, from Brigham Young University in 1973, and his Ph.D. in physics from Vanderbilt University in 1978. Jones conducted his Ph.D. research at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (from 1974 to 1977), and post-doctoral research at Cornell University and the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility.[1]

Research interests and background

Jones conducted research at the Idaho National Laboratory, in Arco, Idaho where, from 1979 to 1985, he was a senior engineering specialist. He was principal investigator for experimental muon-catalyzed fusion from 1982 to 1991 for the U.S. Department of Energy, Division of Advanced Energy Projects. From 1990 to 1993, Jones studied fusion in condensed matter physics and deuterium under U.S. Department of Energy and Electric Power Research Institute sponsorship. Jones also collaborated in experiments at other physics labs, including TRIUMF (Vancouver, British Columbia), KEK (Tsukuba, Japan), and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at Oxford University.

Jones' interests also extend to archaeometry, solar energy,[2] [3] and, like many professors at BYU, archaeology and the Book of Mormon.[4] For example, he has sought radiocarbon dating evidence of the existence of pre- Columbian horses in the Americas, [5] and has interpreted archaeological evidence from the ancient Mayans as supporting his faith's belief that Jesus Christ visited America. [6]

Muon-catalyzed fusion

In the mid-1980s, Jones and other BYU scientists worked on what he then referred to as Cold Nuclear Fusion in a Scientific American article, but is today known as muon-catalyzed fusion to avoid confusion. Muon-catalyzed fusion was a field of some interest in the 1980s, but its low energy output appears to be unavoidable (due to alpha-muon sticking losses). Jones led a research team that in 1986 achieved 150 fusions per muon (average), releasing over 2,600 MeV of fusion energy per muon, a record which still stands.[7]

Around 1985 Jones then became interested in the anomalous concentration of helium-3 found in the gases escaping from volcanoes. He hypothesized that the high pressures in the Earth's interior might make fusion more likely, and began a series of experiments on what he referred to as piezofusion, or high- pressure fusion. In order to characterize the reactions, Jones designed and built a neutron counter able to accurately measure the tiny numbers of neutrons being produced in his experiments. The counter suggested a small amount of fusion was going on. Jones said the result suggested at least the possibility of fusion, though the process was unlikely to be useful as an energy source.

Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann (Pons and Fleischmann or P&F) started their work around the same time. Their work was brought to Jones' attention when they applied for research funding from the Department of Energy, after which the DOE passed their proposal along to Jones for peer review. Realizing their work was very similar, Jones and P&F agreed to release their papers to Nature on the same day, March 24, 1989. However, P&F announced their results at a press event the day before. Jones faxed his paper to Nature. [8]

A New York Times article says that while peer reviewers were quite critical of Pons and Fleishchmann's research they did not apply such criticism to Jones' much more modest, theoretically supported findings. Although critics insisted that his results likely stemmed from experimental error,[9] most of the reviewing physicists indicated that he was a careful scientist. Later research and experiments supported the metallic cold fusion reports by Jones.[10]

OK, he has a nutty religion. He probably was born into it and really hasn't given it a great deal of thought. If that is the best you can do discredit him then he must be squeaky clean and has very valid points that you have no credible argument against. Well, you actually can't argue against anyone cause you are a retard.

Can you find a BYU professor who doesn't work on research to make the Book of Mormon legit? It's a prerequisite for hire you know.

I read the paper in it's entirety.......nothing too kooky, simply comparing some Myan artifacts to information in the Book of Mormom.

Again, this doesn't in anyway discredit his work in physics. You do realize that Newton was an excellent student of astrology, the Emerald Tablets and other "occult" works. Do you call Newton a kook too? Oh, that's right, Newton's theories don't jive with your 911 goobermint fairy tale, so he must be a kook.

AGLyingShillster is LYING. Dr. Stephen Jones the PHYSICIST in NOT the same Dr. Stephen Jones, Dr. of Theology that AGFag is claiming him to be.

He FABRICATED the minister Stephen Jones background by taking the PHYSICIST Dr. Stephen Jones background and claiming it was the minister's.

Who wrote that POS article on DU, YOU perhaps?

He wrote it. But, it's not nearly as kooky as AGABLOWviator wants to make it out to be. It's not a peer reviewed work of science or anything like that, it's simply a BYU pet project, like all BYU profs do as part of their employment contract.

Can you find a BYU professor who doesn't work on research to make the Book of Mormon legit?

It's not the same person abraxas, AGAviator fabricated it. He cut and pasted Dr. Stephen Jones background and pasted as the Reverend Stephen Jones background.

The Reverend Jones is NOT a physicist, and only went to school for Theology.

Just as with the "Hanjour wasn't a pilot" ***gaffe,*** you're gonna get your punk a$$ kicked on this lie too, goober.

Steven E. Jones the BYU PhD physicist is the identical same person as the author of "Christ visited the Mayans" and I have already provided the links proving this.

Google the article name and it comes right up in pdf. I provided the link. It's from BYU. It's not a peer reviewed paper. It's more of a power point presentation than a paper.

Profs at BYU do all sorts of side research on such topics.

Jones' interests also extend to archaeometry, solar energy, and, like many professors at BYU, archaeology and the Book of Mormon. For example, he has sought radiocarbon dating evidence of the existence of pre-Columbian horses in the Americas, and has interpreted archaeological evidence from the ancient Mayans as supporting his faith's belief that Jesus Christ visited America.

The physicist one is devout Mormon. There also seems to be a Rev. Jones as well who is not the physicist. Beyond that I have no idea what you guys are talking about, nor do I care. I'm out.

Ok, I did find it. Thought perhaps AG modified wiki to suit his purpose, but no, I did in fact find the PDF.

So I admit I was wrong, although it IS highly suspicious that their is ANOTHER Dr. Jones, a reverend, spelt with a PH in Stephen rather than a V as in Dr. Steven Jones the physicist.

Odd coincidence, and given AG's honesty, I instantly thought he was up to his old tricks.

So ok AGAviator, I'll admit I'm wrong here. Now when are YOU going to admit you're wrong on the things you ARE wrong about?

You are such a conspiracy theorist, AGABLOWviator.

Now you think that a mispelling of his name was some sinister play. Then, you make all these stupid and outlandish leaps into my posts that aren't even there.

You've had plenty of your own lies on this thread and the other, but you've never owned up to any. I said take a breather to calm yourself down, stop spitting on your monitor and making an asshole of yourself. Apparently, you simply "can't" stop. It's comical.

You see, I make a mistake which isn't the same as a lie, and I own up to it.

In fact, that's WHY you posted that TOTALLY irrelevant piece of "info" on Jones, you KNEW there was another Dr. Stephen (instead of Steven) E. Jones, who WAS a reverend and you knew either I or someone else would look it up and find it.

Just a cheap way to "score one", eh?

Fact is, it is Steven E. Jones the physicist claiming Christ visited the Mayans, and Jones does in fact have religious beliefs which interfere with his scientific objectivity.

A religious belief does not interfere with the ability to perform research on theoretical particles apparently.

The thread is about "911 conspiracy theories challenged."

Jerker posted an insult to buck, claiming buck had a religious belief about 19 ragheads.

I then posted a factual account of Prof Steven E. Jones's religious belief about Jesus Christ visiting the Mayans, which shows Jones' religious bias and methodology underlying his 911 CT'ers thinking process.

The twit couldn't see the releance of what I posted, and I then had to explain to the twit how the two religious belief allegations had something in common.

The response to this post was the usual cacaphony of personal attacks and lies. The lies have been disproven and the personal attacks therefore are the attacks of proven liars.

He checks out for a spell and then returns as if nothing happened a short time later

None of you has provided any objective proof on anything at any time. All you do is make arm-waving conclusions and zero backup. I don't miss anything in my absences. You're all brain dead repeating the same old nostrums for the past 8 1/2 years.

The only "jerkers" here are you and buck, and I'm sure you're both very close.

It's also quite obvious that you BOTH have a fervent religious belief in the "Official 9/11 Faerie Tale ™", and that you both get highly agitated and foam at the mouth whenever anybody posts facts and evidence that contradicts your religous belief in that story.

That you decided to play games here and post about a professor's private life in terms of his religion shows how desparate you are. You have nothing else, so you resort to character assassination to "win" your "argument", somehow projecting that man's sincere religious beliefs across the entire spectrum of topics that relate to 9/11, to prove we are all "k00ks".

What a piece of work you are. That's why I thought you fabricated it, since you WOULD stoop that low if you thought you could get away with it.
