A Simple Little Law and Fact Dismissed by the U.S. Government on 9-11-01

[Peter Lemkin]

here is a picture of a bottle breaking when it hits a table.



Notice that many of the large glass fragments have achieved some sort of component to their motion that is inconsistent with pure gravity (i.e. straight down). Some of the glass and water appears to even be moving up! Did the government plant explosives in my Perrier bottle?


Nope. Turns out Newton "discovered" more than just gravity. He has three other laws of motion, the third in particular which explains the apparent anomaly. Turns out, when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts and equal (yet opposite) force on the first one; in this case, shattering the glass and driving fragments of glass and water up.


You can replicate this experiment at home with any available fragile material.

This is a very poor example to compare to the WTC towers! The recoil that might be observed with objects/parts of the WTC would be at the level of the first floor, at most. With a bottle the effect you site is due to its size [small], contents of water [liquid], and way that glass splinters - producing a incomparable event, and bad physics. There are a multitude of reasons that prove that more than gravity alone brought down the WTC buildings. One is that things fall straight down without a reason [read force] to push them laterally [at high speed, no less] and some even upward against gravity. There was also too much energy expended [more than that stored in the system due to potential energy [mass x height above ground]], which was less than the kinetic energy expended/observed. The difference had to come from some energetic substance, i.e. explosives and/or thermitic materials. How a building falls is seen in the upper photo. How a building is exploded is seen with the WTC towers 1 and 2 - even 7, but that is more complicated.
