Steven Jones is one of the higher profile 9/11 loons who is certain the towers were demolished by explosives.

Good riddance from the education system.

[Paleo Conservative]

He needs to be on a permanent unpaid leave.

[Andy from Beaverton]

e-mail him here:  stevejones@byu.edu

 

His web site at BYU:  http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/default.aspx

Good. I suggested that this wackjob ought to be fired and it looks like BYU is doing the responsible thing and starting the procees, which I am sure will be interrupted by ACLU lawyers.

[Past Your Eyes]

As might be expected, BYU shows much greater sense than UNH does. We the taxpayers are still giving our loonbattard professor a paycheck AND a forum.

[ChadGore]

You can bet his overseas account if filled with hezbo counterfeit.

[finnman69]

Here is the guys whackjob paper. He really believes this stuff. It's google cached, since BYU pulled it off their servers.

[Choose Ye This Day]

He sites research

"sites"? Come on, ksl. Just because you're a TV station doesn't mean you don't have to be careful with spelling and word choice.

I notice that he was originally hired to do cold fusion research. So he was on the fringes from the get-go.

To be fair, I am among those who are not entirely convinced that cold fusion is a complete impossibility, because it's very hard to prove a negative and I like to keep an open mind. But it has certainly not been shown to be a viable field for research, and it is a field known to attract nut cases.

[wideawake]

evidence of thermite, a compound used in military detonations.

LOL! ROTFLMAO!

Hey, guess what else thermite is used in besides military detonations?

Welding.

I wonder if any welding was involved in the building of two 110-story towers?

[Paradox]

No offense to any freeper Physicist (you know who you are :), but this is what happens when you send a physicist to do an engineers job. Its like trusting a college biology teacher to perform your open heart surgery... Bad idea..

[Kirkwood]

They need to revoke this guy's PhD (assuming he even has one).

[Revolting cat!]

[Mygirlsmom]

All he will need to do is to move to Madison, WI. Apparently the Univ of WI's whacko 911 conspiracy professor (who teaches Islamic studies, btw) is filling up classes fast. Sounds like he could use some help.

one reason why my kids will NOT go to the U.W. system!

[HarryDunne]

Ah, the ad hominem attacks! Been a while since I've been to freep. I can see why I stopped coming here. Not the open-minded think-tank it once was.

WTC 1, 2 & 7 fell at free-fall speed. Doesn't mean Bush did it. Doesn't mean Bush knew about it. Just means it wasn't just the planes.

Here's an idea. I dare you... no, I triple-dog dare you to provide a reasonable explanation as to why WTC 7 fell at all. It wasn't hit by a plane.

That won't be hard to do, you might say. Great. Here's the challenging part: ARGUE THE POINT WITHOUT THE AD HOMINEM ATTACK.

Good luck.

There is a very simple kernel at the heart of most of the "WTC was caused by GWB" conspiracy kooks: ANTI-SEMITISM. I've posted this on a similar thread, but here's my take again:

This 9/11 conspiracy 'theory' is wildly popular among Holocaust-deniers and other anti-semites because it allows them to: a. portray the US as beholden to "the Joos", and

b. allows them to excuse Islamofascists (who are, of course, their most loyal anti-semitic allies)

Anti-Semites are, in my experience, the lowest form of humanity, and why they spin these insane 9/11 conspiracy theories is obvious when you realize their true motivations...
