I am going to take your word over eight reputable scientists on this one. |
you dont have any reputable scientists. you do have 1 scientist that was fired for bad science, and you have a vanity journal that publishes fake studies designed by a computer program. nice try though.

Reading that shit from JREF and screwloosechange |
that's funny, im pretty sure my last source is the scientist magazine. but i guess they're all part of the impossibly-vast conspiracy!
oooh, lets have it again coz you didnt get it the first time

Editors quit after fake paper flap
The editor-in-chief of an open access journal has stepped down from his post after learning that the journal accepted a fake, computer-generated article for publication. So has an editorial advisory board member of a second journal published by the same company, Bentham Science Publishers.
Bambang Parmanto, a University of Pittsburgh information scientist, resigned from his editorship at The Open Information Science Journal (TOISCIJ) after reading a story on The Scientist's website yesterday (June 10) that described a hoax paper submission to the journal. Editors at journal claimed to have peer reviewed the article and slated it for publication pending the submission of $800 in "open access fees."
"I didn't like what happened," Parmanto told The Scientist. "If this is true, I don't have full control of the content that is accepted to this journal." Parmanto said that he had never seen the phony manuscript that was accepted by TOISCIJ. "I want to lessen my exposure to the risk of being taken advantage of."
Parmanto, who became editor-in-chief of TOISCIJ when Bentham launched the journal last year, said that he had reviewed manuscripts for inclusion in the journal previously, but that he made up his mind to resign from his volunteer position "because of the potential for abuse," of the kind uncovered by the hoax.
Parmanto did add, however, that the perpetrators of the hoax -- Cornell grad student Philip Davis and Kent Anderson, executive director of international business and product development at the New England Journal of Medicine -- were also guilty of some degree of unethical behavior. "This is a process based on trust," he said. "An author should submit something legitimate, and the process on the review side should decide if a paper is worth publishing or not. In this case, the process was broken on both sides."
Parmanto isn't the only one to react to the news of Bentham's ignominy by terminating his association with the publisher. Marc Williams, an immunologist and stem cell researcher at the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry who served on the editorial advisory board of The Open Stem Cell Journal (OSCJ), another Bentham publication, resigned as well. After reading the story of Davis and Kent's "little experiment" yesterday, Williams "immediately requested my name to be removed from the journal's editorial board."
"What upset me was the fact that this happened at all, in any of [Bentham's] journals," Williams told The Scientist. "It really informs us that it may be a company policy that this is permitted in general."
Williams, who had served on the OSCJ editorial advisory board since the journal's inception last year, said that in his 15 or 16 months on the job he has not reviewed a single manuscript submitted for publication, though the journal has only published one volume containing five articles since its inception.
Both Parmanto and Williams said that they support the idea of open access journals. "The open access system is definitely the way forward," said Williams. "At face value, it is an extremely valuable way of making scientific data widely available."
But Parmanto, though he said that he "believes in the open access system," noted that the business model of charging authors fees to publish in OA journals might become problematic. "I see that [Bentham would] have the incentive to maintain the credibility of the journal, but I also see the potential for abuse."
Parmanto said that upon reading the story about Davis and Andrew's hoax on our website yesterday, he contacted the publisher of TOISCIJ to ask what was going on. Parmanto said that he was told that "someone on the editorial board reviewed" the fake paper. I contacted Parmanto yesterday in reporting the original story, but the researcher told me today that he wanted to hear from TOISCIJ's publisher before getting back to me. |
lols.

Bernie the disgruntled hotdog vendor who worked a street corner close to the WTC for 17 years had finally gotten fed up with all the foreign suits putting their 3 hotdogs with extra sauerkraut on their corporate Visas - authorization batches really slowed down his lunch rush!
So one day, Bernie decides to call this one guy he's known for years, Deano, who is a small-time arms peddler and explosives novice, they put together some thermite in Deano's cousin-in-law's railside warehouse using schematics they downloaded from Limewire and materials they purchased over E-bay. September 13th is a red-letter day. Bernie plants all of his devices early, to ensure everything is properly juiced and hidden. He even planned on blogging about it the night before. Bernie never got his chance at large-scale revenge, however. Bernie's dreams were cut short by even more filthy foreigners - what a world!
See, I can make up all sorts of shit, too. Better cite a distinguished science journal claiming otherwise, because my claims are absolutely true until proven bunk!

For an engineer you are pretty fuking stupid. Where did the thermite material come from then? You do not need to compare it to anything because it was not supposed to be there in the first place. If you want to actually look smart for once why not show everyone here an example of how easy it is to find thermite in debris if it is so commonly present everywhere as you said?
You must be reading the same links KFC posts up to the JREF and screloosechange forums or something because as far as I can tell no one including you cannot deny the hard evidence. |
lets see...... rust.... aluminum...... not common at all. the fact that someone only found 3 nanosized particles, doesnt provide any more insight into the topic than can be found on wikipedia, and gives no information other than "the red side is iron oxide and the grey side is aluminum, leads me to belive that
A: the author is a moron
B: his conclusions are not founded in propper research, but found by using the jump to conclusions mat
C: There is no reference to a location that the samples were found what was found in the dust etc etc
D: provides only one hypothesis as to the orgin of the particles.... ie its rust and aluminum its got to be thermite..... where a perfectly sound counter hypothesis would be "gee a big freakin aluminum plane smashes into a rusty steel column at hundreds of miles an hour.... that might just be enough impusle to bond a small piece of aluminum to a small piece of rust"
Had they found a nanosized US ARMY logo on the fleck, then i would say that you had something, or your photoshop skillz were L337.... but alas they didnt.
