9/11 and the Bastardization of Science

Besides the direct and indirect deaths from 9/11, besides the huge horrible lies, besides the tremendous waste of taxpayers' money, besides the development of the police-state apparatus, besides the torture and the injustice, there is one tragic cost of 9/11 that has been little discussed-- what 9/11 has done to the public's perception of scientific reality.

Thanks to 9/11 and the NIST white-wash, the public now thinks that, contrary to the laws of physics and the science of engineering:

Jet fuel fires and gravity can make massive skyscrapers break apart and turn into dust in mid-air-- all in a matter of a few seconds.

Aluminum planes can puncture heavy steel and concrete buildings like a bullet entering flesh and without any parts breaking off.

Airplanes leave cartoon-like cut-out shapes of themselves when they crash in skyscrapers and in the ground and at the same time completely disintegrate leaving only tiny unrecognizable pieces that constitute only a small fraction of the plane's original structure.

Boeing 757s can be flown at over 500 mph only one or two inches off the ground.

When a Boeing 757 hits the outside of the Pentagon, the plane disappears inside but leaves logo-painted pieces of the fuselage skin on the lawn.

9/11 furthered the dumbing-down of America-- in many ways really-- but certainly in terms of science.


It's a damn shame.
