But that's not what the statment said. The statement was about the
block of floors DURING ITS INTERACTION with the lower structure. No
matter how much you lie about it, that's what it was about.

All the rest of your bullshit is just a cover for the fact that you
thought that statement was made by the NIST, and so you defended it,
no matter what it said, and now you can't admit it.

Exactly!

All of his obfuscation is just as bad as what the KOOKS do. PW has
consistently tried to ignore the fact that the statement clearly
applies to the time interval of the collision ("interaction"), and
so by claiming that the only forces being imposed upon the upper
block during the collision was gravity, and the support structure's
reaction to it, he's claiming that the collision of the upper block
with the support structure was forceless.

Notice that he's never given his opinion as to what forces he thinks
were acting upon the upper block DURING THE COLLISION with the lower
support structure? He keeps trying to divert his answer to the time
period that it was falling, but before the collision, but, as we've
both pointed out, the statement refers to the time DURING THE
COLLISION.

Hell, he's the one who also came up with the analogy of a blob of
goo being thrown at, and hitting, a wall, and yet, he's never been
able to tell us whether or not he thinks that this collision
resulted in a force being applied to the wall. He knows that if he
admits that it did, that he would also have to admit that there was
a force being applied to the goo as well. And if he does that, then
his whole argument collapses just as quickly, and as obviously, as
the WTC.

So you believe in foceless collisions then? After all, the claims
in that statement were for the time during which the collision
between the upper block and the remaining support structure was in
progress, and it says that only gravity, and a reaction to it, were
the only two forces involved. For you to believe that defines you
as a KOOK! Or worse yet, for you, mistaken. LOL!

Its correcr. There is no obfuscation; there never has been.

I don't know what else they said, or whether it was correct.

This statement:

"The only two relevant forces acting on the falling block are gravity (mg)
and an upward normal force (N) due to its interaction with the lower section
of the building."

This is correct. Unless you can point to some other "relevant force"; I have
asked you this several times and you haven't. And you can't; what they said
is correct.


> You knew this was the context of that quote. You could not know
> otherwise. Yet, in light of that context, you pronounced that

You provided zero context for their quote. I have not read the original
document. How on earth could I know what else they said, and why would I
care? The simple fact is that waht you said they said is correct, and
derspite repeated questioning you have not said why you think it is wrong.

So here is another chance. "The only two relevant forces acting on the
falling block are gravity (mg) and an upward normal force (N) due to its
interaction with the lower section of the building.". If you think this is
wrong, you have to show either that these forces are not relevant, or there
is another relevant force.

So, go for it. What additional forces do you think there are, exactly?

No. I didn't say that. Again, if you want to accuse me of saying something
incorrect, you should providemy exact words. I said nothing like that at
all.

Yes.

They are the only two relevant forces.

Unless you know of another?

Its not even the claim of the statement, which clearly does not state that
gravity is the only force.

Without seeing their quote in context, I doubt it. Not that it matters, the
statement is correct.

Yes, that is the "upward normal force (N) due to its interaction with the
lower section of the building."

"upward normal force (N) due to its interaction with the lower section of
the building." The interaction in this case being the collision.

All I did was apply a classical analysis based upon an inelastic collision
conserving momentum. Just like the web pages I pointed you at, and the many
physics lectures I have attended on dynamics.

If you think there are additional relevant forces, you should list them.
Momentum is not a force. BTW, there is a third force, but its not relevant -
air resistance. I assume that is why they used the word "relevant". There is
absolutely nothing wrong with what they said; these are the only two
relevant forces.
