No. I'm not having this conversation today. Personal choice. Rock on.

@CopperCicada Nano thermite found at ground zero
@MrBrownstone wow. a sane postulation.

i actually know about thermite-- but i'm not having this conversation today. some other time.

@CopperCicada Because it proves inside job.
@MrBrownstone well. logically if explosives were the only way to produce the thermite nano and micro spheres, it would only suggest that somebody placed explosives in the towers. doesn't prove it's an inside job. could have been part of the terror plot.

thermite reactions can occur whenever metal powder and metal oxide are together with enough activation energy. i haven't seen the paper in years but i recall x-ray spectroscopy of the ferrite micro and nanospheres indicating an iron and aluminum oxide thermite reaction. there is a ton of alumina and ferrous material used in such buildings.

can't rule out the proximity of those materials in the two towers. especially under such extreme circumstances. i don't know if a subsequent materials assessment was ever done to examine that.

so with my physics hat on i saw the thermite finding as really interesting but i am agnostic unless there's something new after what i looked at.

@CopperCicada Interesting. But I said Nano thermite. Which is only available to military
@MrBrownstone well you must have some info i'm not aware of. i'd actually like to see it. the paper i read showed electron microscope of thermite products that were fairly large.

actually anyone can make their own nanothermite. you can buy nanoparticle alumina and metals quite easily.

actually any metal fines are extremely flammable.

@CopperCicada Not in 2001
@MrBrownstone hmm. that's a good point. nano alumina i suspect yes. metals probably harder.

if you have a link to something i'd love to see it.
(for the sake of bystanders notice how we're doing the science thing here, not calling calling eachother names and shit. thermite. particles. sizes. origins of those particles. and so on.

in the end we'd be putting some shit in a cruxible and burning it out to see what it produces. and then comparing that to what was seen at ground zero. i'm sure somebody has done it.)
