Your sources, Rue, you do the work and present your ideas. 

I have. No I do not create things I have no academic expertise in. You've done no work, you repeat what you have been told by others as well. Please don't pose as having created your conspiracy theories. They are far from original. I also have presented my own ideas in a separate post.

All this expertise and no one can discuss it. 

We are discussing it. Worldwide turmoil can be avoided simply by choosing the proper building materials.

I just burned/melted/vaporized some steel, and all it took was one wooden kitchen match.

...

Perhaps they are not looking at all the variables.

And the fire went out when it became more compact. Please discuss the variables.

I've never worked with it, but I do regularly work with Wolfram...

That is a tungsten.

Wolframite is the typical tungstate that we get the pure stuff from.

Most folks are familiar with tungsten from things like nail punches rather than armor piercing shot. Too brittle for a skyscraper, of course.

Rhenium, however, has some flex to it.

Indeed, as structural ferrous metals are routinely preheated before welding to slow joint cooling, prevent brittle fracture, and reduce shrinkage stress.

Submarine hull cuts (HY-80 and HY-100 steel) are welded closed using bodacious electric strip heaters around the welded joint.

Yes, that is one of the problems with element 'W', it's difficult to machine. Edison did find a way to make it "ductile", by cold-rolling, I think.
I still prefer the good old tungsten filament light bulbs...

I particularly liked the psychological profile you presented for those who have compulsive conspiracy theory disorder.

Agreed...and ironically, this is the lasting question even as the many other technical matters have long been put to bed.

That's very exotic steel, of course. Full of all sorts of atomic goodies like vanadium to avoid being brittle.

I forgot to say thank you to BC for this.

Ahh yes, the secret of "American Steel". :lol:

Brittle bad...ductile good.

The bow of the USS New York (LPD-21) was made out of recycled WTC steel.

Yes, I saw a documentary on it a couple of weeks back. Very nice ship.

No, you haven't. Or you are just too frightened to provide a link. 

You say I have done no work, that you don't "create things I have no academic expertise in" and you post a long, completely off topic article from some psychology magazine. 

Then you say again, with no proof offered at all, "I also have presented my own ideas in a separate post".

No science from anyone, nothing to address the original argument. Example after example of rudeness, off topic, ... so many site

A belated rehash of the matter is not an original argument.  

Please see the forum archives for far more substance as provided by present and former MLW members.

Agreed. It's time for the conspiracy types to ramp-up their game. The Twin Towers and WTC 7 (sinister music plays) are actually on the Moon and now occupy the very same spots claimed to be Lunar landing sites.

One of them is behind the grassy knoll.  But we don't know which one...
