1. LMAO! Great Moments in "Truther Science"

"What color is that? It's SILVER!"

[wildbilln864]

2. it turned silver immediately.

the towers flows were orange all the way.

[William Seger]

3. Yes, immediatly after coming in contact with the cold pan

This is why the "truth movement" died, wildbill.

[wildbilln864]

4. keep repeating it william and maybe just maybe someday

somewhere someday it will maybe come true.

6. Sez the guy who's still recycling 10-year-old bullshit

... and who will probably still be saying, "It's SILVER!" 10 years from now.

9. By the way, wildbill

As entertaining as threads like this are, here's another opportunity to miss an opportunity to learn a couple of things:

(1) If this guy had heated any metal to 1800F, it would glow at about the same color, whether or not it melted. If he had used lead instead of aluminum for this experiment -- like the lead in the large number of UPS storage batteries on that floor -- it would have melted, and it would have looked the same as aluminum pouring out of the crucible. There would be no way to tell from video which it was.

(2) Videos don't show true color, especially when they get blown out from excessive infrared, so trying to estimate the temperature from a video is worse than worthless; it's misleading. The brightest spots in both this guy's video and the WTC video are blown out to white, but since he tells us his aluminum is 1800F, that is certainly not white-hot.

7. Try this safer analog. Set an ice cube in a frying pan, and hang a 10 lb. block of ice.

Which melts first?

An ounce of molten aluminum cools much faster hitting a cold frying pan than multiple pounds falling through the air.

Three reasons:

Cooling (and heating) can only occur at the surface, while heat is contained in the volume. As the size goes up, the ratio of surface area to volume goes down. Bigger things take longer to heat and cool.

Hitting the cold frying pan flattens the blob, increasing its surface area, leading to faster cooling.

The heat conductance of a frying pan is vastly greater than air. If the guy in the video had put the pan on the floor, and poured from the same height, we would have seen glowing orange aluminum all the way the to floor.

8. He is beyond any logic. Nt

10. I believe that's the rig one of our correspondents uses...

...to communicate with Chinese satellites.

[zappaman]

11. Haven't heard from him in a while.

I hope he's okay.

[jberryhill]

12. I thought it was your turn to watch him

But it seems he posted last week, although he hasn't gotten around to editing it 100 times yet.

Maybe he's having a period of relative stability.
