How is it relevant to world politics?
This guy was breaking like nuts, didn't work though. []
I think you should stick this thread somewhere else where more people will read it.
But what would happen if it were PROVEN that it was IMPOSSIBLE for the top 11% by volume of a skyscraper to crush the bottom 85%? That 11% by volume might be less than 5% by weight.

That 11% by volume might be less than 5% by weight.What about the other 5%?-------Okay, I've had a look at that video. I don't know anything about the physics behind this so my comments are most likely to be of no use to anybody. []But from what I understand, tell me if this is right or not. What you are saying is that the engineers did not design the building properly correct? So why do you think the building collapsed?
So what happened?
Yes, I've still got it.
the building never should have collapsed. There was nothing wrong with it. But the idea that the top 10% could crush the rest in less than 18 seconds is utterly absurd....the inherent physics of skyscrapers should have told everyone that planes could not destroy the buildings that fast.
What I meant was: so what happened to the building if, as you say:Quote from: psikeyhackr on 14/04/2009 07:56:06the building never should have collapsed. There was nothing wrong with it.

Perhaps your experiment did not accurately model the situation? You are suggesting that the distribution of mass was not bottom heavy so the building collapsed, just like your toothpicks?
