Mr. Walter is down to his last few $ Millions. He expects no tears. He knows deeply that his sacrifice is far less than the sacrifices the soldiers and their mothers and families such as Cindy Sheehan have made. He has put aside one million dollars to challenge all his "shallow and snake like" attackers such as Showtimes' Penn & Teller, CNN's Anderson Cooper, Geraldo, the editors of the New York Times and others "to put up or shut up". "Science is on my side!":
First, entrants must prove how the trade towers collapsed in 8.5 seconds, as the video and seismic records show, without explosives.
The formula for distance and time is:
s=½at²
Where:
s = distance in feet
a = gravitational constant: 32 ft/sec²
t = time in seconds.
The videos and seismic records show that the time of one collapse was approximately 8.5 seconds. Therefore:
s = ½ * 32 * 8.5²
s = 1156 feet
However, WTC 1 (the north tower) had a roof height of 1,368 feet. WTC 2 (the south tower) was nearly as tall, with a roof height of 1,362 feet. Each floor was therefore approximately 12.5 feet. Since the tower collapses began below that, approximately 10 floors, the collapse should have taken approximately:
1,368 - 125 = 1,243 or approximately 1250 Feet
1250 feet = ½ * 32 * 8.8² seconds
It is therefore proven that the towers collapsed at very close to free fall speed, perhaps faster since there is air resistance to consider. It is impossible for the floors to have been crushed and fall faster than free fall or slightly slower.
For instance, there were 110 stories and the collapse appears to begin at the 100th floor. If it had only taken 1 second per floor, that would have been 100 seconds. To be under .1 second total time for the 100 floors, each floor would have to have been totally crushed in under 0.001 seconds. Impossible without explosives.
Since it is alleged that the floors pancaked down on each other crushing each floor as it went, entrants' must prove explosives were not used with a time line with the energy needed, mass affected, time to fall and time to break all of the hundreds of thousands of bolts, rivets and welds, crush all the concrete plus thousands of computers, desks, copy machines, all the office contents, the speed of the total falling mass after each impact, and net mass falling after each observed ejection of the dust clouds of concrete powder, and the energy required to send the cloud all the way to New Jersey in a self-contained flow (this alone requires 14 tons of explosives).
Second, entrants must prove that the steel bolts, rivets, and welds had the strength to hold long enough for the concrete and contents to be crushed; and explain what made them fail afterwards. Entrants must include the energy required, source, and timing for breaking the bolts, rivets, and welds.
Entrants' must prove how the floors fell straight down so that each floor was crushed uniformly and how the pulverized dust was ejected from a steel pan with a steel plate and carpet over it. The official diagrams show each floor hitting in the middle of the lower floor. If so, then the concrete in the center might have been crushed, but not at the edges. Since all the concrete was pulverized, entrants must explain this in detail.
Entrants must further disprove explosives were used:
1) Provide an estimate of attainable temperatures within the core and perimeter columns based on best available data on fuel load, air supply, efficiency of combustion and the spatial and temporal extent of the fires.
2) Describe in detail what “additional local failures” took place, consistent with temperatures attained and initial damage.
3) Explain in detail how such local failures could lead to sudden and complete failure of all core columns.
4) Account for the highly symmetrical and near-vertical character of the collapses.
5) Describe the initiating event and mode of propagation of the final collapse, consistent with the observed progression of the collapses, including the near free-fall speed and (almost) complete disappearance of the core columns.
The first person to prove explosives were NOT used with a full, detailed mathematical analysis covering all of the points above will receive $1,000,000. The proof will be subject to verification by a scientific panel of PHD engineers, physicists, and lawyers.
This offer is void where prohibited by law.
