Oxygen, Rust, Structural Integrity(or degradation) over the years, fuel, an airplane crashing into the building, carbon monoxide, melting beams, cross-wind, etc. Create mathematical equations each of those, unify them into a giant equation, then apply to the collapse of the buildings. |
while it is possible to draft such an equation. there does not exist a machine on earth powerfull enough to solve it. for instance the failure of a concret beam (a slab is essentially a beam for analysis sake) concrete is a non homogeneous material and its plane of failure can not be accurately predicted. the failure plane and mode of concrete is described using chaotic equations of several hundred variables.
so to accuratley describe the failure of the entire structure while taking into account every single possible factor would require a complex chaotic equation of multiple billions of variables.
now from a research standpoint, one of my old professors (had him two years ago) performs research in the realm of finite element analysis here at carleton using a super cluster computer... fancy pants array of stupidly fast machines in their own room taht basically crunges numbers and solves very complex equations. he is working on a passive sonar technology that basically uses finite element analysis on marine wave propagation with respect to low frequency hydrophone waves that basically works out to an equation of over a million variables.
even if you could accurately model the wtc disaster. you would never be able to solve it without making some major asumptions, which wouldnegate the purpose of doing it

Yeah, I’d like to know what horrible, scarring incident in your childhood turned you into such an ignorant, intellectual-hating philistine? |
