A Brigham Young University physics professor who suggested the World Trade Center was brought down by explosives has resigned, six weeks after the school placed him on leave.
Steven Jones' retirement is effective Jan. 1, 2007.
Jones recently published theories about U.S. government involvement in the events of Sept. 11, including one suggesting that explosives inside the World Trade Center - not airplanes striking the twin towers - brought the complex down.

Quite a piece of work, this guy.
You're close. It was Fleischman and Pons.
Just kidding.
Thank you for "jarring" my memory. :)
"He should of been fired from transparently using his position to indoctrinate his students."
Yessir, as should any and all "educators" acting similarly.
Our educational system would benefit in an organic manner similar to giving your home vegetable garden a thorough weeding.
Utah is a solid Red State but Salt Lake City is very very very liberal.
BYU isn't in Salt Lake City.
Thanks for posting this. The SLD doesn't seem to have published many details, however. Any more articles out there with background?
Water friends for.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.....
Outstanding! I certainly wouldn't want an idiot who knew so little about physics teaching my kids!I saw the collapses in realtime on TV. As the first building was falling, it only took as second or so before I realized that what looked -- at first impression -- like an explosion was merely air compressed and forced out by the "pancake collapse piston" effect of the falling upper floors."
Good. And I hope the only other job he can get in an American university is scrubbing toilets.

I've heard that it is a haven for gays from a couple folks. How much truth is their to that?
Were those pictures of JETLINERS striking the Twin Towers just PHOTOSHOPPED? And all of New York is lying when they say they SAW the jetliners fly directly into the buildings...
...so many people are tryin' to trick the world...
Yea..yea...I know...the Moon walks were jest acted out on some Hollywood backlot...all of those NASA folks are in on the joke...
I've heard that Karl Rove is the anti-Christ.
Good, one less moon bat teaching our kids.
And he's a physics professor! Wouldn't you expect him to know a thing or two about the strength of materials, heat dynamics, etc.?
The best part is that it was his own decision to step down. Cool!
Note: this topic is from 10/22/2006. Thanks rface.Steven E. Jones was suspended, then opted to retire as Professor Emeritus. He still has a page on the BYU website (as of a few minutes ago), and that page still links to a couple of his moonbat papers.
