The physics of 9/11 — including how fast and symmetrically one of the World Trade Center buildings fell — prove that official explanations of the collapses are wrong, says a Brigham Young University physics professor.

In fact, it's likely that there were "pre-positioned explosives" in all three buildings at ground zero, says Steven E. Jones.

In a paper posted online Tuesday and accepted for peer-reviewed publication next year, Jones adds his voice to those of previous skeptics, including the authors of the Web site www.wtc7.net, whose research Jones quotes. Jones' article can be found here.

Jones, who conducts research in fusion and solar energy at BYU, is calling for an independent, international scientific investigation "guided not by politicized notions and constraints but rather by observations and calculations.

"It is quite plausible that explosives were pre-planted in all three buildings and set off after the two plane crashes — which were actually a diversion tactic," he writes. "Muslims are (probably) not to blame for bringing down the WTC buildings after all," Jones writes.

We don't use chemical weapons - but we have proof - oh yes but they are legal ones. No they aren't - well we had to they were useing them on us - No they weren't - Oh uh well Your an anti semite Nazi thats why you make up these lies
You killed UN observors- It was an acident we didn't know they were there.- It's been there since 1978- Ok we knew but it was an accident.- They called you 10 times-. Hezbollah was right next to there postision we were aiming for them and missed.- The USA gave you high percision bombs that hit within a yard of it's target - what do you mean you "missed"? We will investigate this but the only reason you doubt us is your secretly a nazi anti semite and so is the UN secratary.

Why do we bother asking them anything and why on earth do we expect a truthful answer ? Isn't it time we smarten up and realise they don't stand up to scrutiny

Seeing as we are all involved in the expansion of our economy, and the cycle of prices going up seems to feed off itself, why, what and or whom is the basic and primary cause of this phenomenon being virtually uncontrollable or reversible without collapsing the whole show.

We owe this to the victims
1. Why didn't jets intercept the airliners since they had numerous warnings of terrorist attacks?

2. Why did Ashcroft stop flying commercial airlines, citing an unidentified "threat" in July 2001?

3. Why did FEMA lie about their presence in New York on 9/11?

4. Why didn't the Secret Service hustle Dubya out of the classroom?

5. Why did George H.W. Bush meet bin Laden's brother on 9/11?

6. Why did passengers or crewmembers on three of the flights all use the term boxcutters?

7. Where are the flight recorders?

8. Why were the FISA warrants discontinued?

9. How did Bush see the first plane crash on live camera?

10 Why was security meeting scheduled for 9/11 cancelled by WTC management on 9/10?

11. How did they come up with the "culprits" so quickly?

12. How did they find the terrorist's cars at the airports so quickly?

13. Why did Shrub dissolve the Bin Laden Task Force?

14. Why the strange pattern of debris from Flight 915. Why did Bush toss the Hart-Rudman terror security study (developed over a 2 year period) and instead assign responsibility to Cheney and FEMA?

16. Why did Ashcroft stops flying commercial, citing an unidentified "threat" in July 2001? Why did the FBI and Justice not identify the form, origin and time of the threat?

17. Why did Bush stay in Texas for the month of August and Cheney in Wyoming?

18. Why didn't the Secret Service hustle Dubya out of the classroom a half-second after Andy Card told him, "Mr. pResident, the nation is under attack"?

19. Why did they leave him exposed to danger for two and a half minutes in the classroom and another half-hour in the school before he returned to the relative safety of Air Force One?

20. Where was George H. W. Bush at the time of the attacks?

21. Why did passengers or crewmembers on three of the flights tell people on the ground that the highjackers had "box cutters"?

22. Where are the flight recorders?

23. How did they find a passport that just "happens" to belong to one of the hijackers in the WTC rubble and they can't locate even ONE flight recorder?

24. Why no investigative reporting of the Pentagon scene? The photos do not show much, but then photographers were not allowed, initially, to photograph the scene, if I remember correctly.

25. Why was the series of recommendations Al Gore also put together in 1996 on airport security called by Republican congress "paranoid" and too harsh. Why did the airline industry, lobbying against it, consider it too expensive and impractical.

26. Why was the Hart-Rudman report on the potential dangers of terrorism in the homeland. The results of the research ignored by Bush?

27. Why were FISA warrants disallowed by Bush?

28. Why did the US pull the plug on Muslim websites Monday September 10, 2001?

29. Why did the Saudi bin-Laden-group have a website with a PRE-SET expiration date of Sept. 11, 2001?

30. Why were the bin Ladens flown out of the U.S. on private jets the day after the 9/11?

31. Why did Cheney say that everyone in the White House started taking Cipro on September 12 when the first anthrax letter wasn't postmarked until September 18?

32. Why did Bush dissolve the Bin Laden Task Force? What would have happened had this focused and knowledgeable group been in place 9 months before 911?

33. Why was metallic debris found 8 miles from the crash site of the plane that went down in Penn? They said it went straight down and left a small hole in the ground. If they found metallic debris from the plane 8 miles away it was either shot down or a bomb exploded in the plane.

34. Why did they not let the media or any reporters take video or photos of the crash site?

Nothing that she does in this manner is going to help bring the troops home. Want to bring the troops home? Show unity, support, and strength for our soldier's mission. A united front will defeat the islamofacists and achieve the victorry that will help bring us home. Anything else harsm their mission, and makes things worse.

I heard there are children with severe medical needs transplant and dialysis where israel is attacking and it will not cease fire. How can we deal with the sick? Is a hospital ship an option?
There was a disgussion that we are on Israels side because they are a democracy and the advisor said we do love other contries and not to be so quick to dismiss the needs of sick civilians and children.
They are all people. I cannot turn my back to a human in need just because they are occupied by terrorists. There is good and all in bad in alll people. Why must we be prejudice in the us?
What about humanity?

440 billion dollars plus a couple hundred billion more for Iraq and Astan every year is nuts. We live next to two relatively peaceful neighbors, and have no immediate need to spend all this money on war.

Canada is now looking at increasing their military spending with 17.1 billion dollars in upgrades, and increasing their budget to 30-35 billion within a few years, even though it has little to fear from any neighbor, unless Canadians think the US is a threat...but I won't go there.

Either way, North America is relatively peaceful, as are many other regions. Why the huge spending on war toys? Why do people think it does any good?

Look at the Maginot Line and the amount of money France poured into it. The Germans went around it and all that money went to waste, so even spending money for defense is questionable, at best.

The problem with America is not the president but its the lack of education of the American people and their laziness. Americans these days hear the news from word of mouth they never find anything out for themselves they are ignorant to the world and its problems. America is a lazy fat little selfish child.

In Lebanon, Hezbollah enjoys membership in the government and has support of many locals – I've heard dozens interviewed on news clips, including NPR.

In the pseudo state of Palestine, the popular vote went to HAMAS – they own the government.

The modern altruist rules of engagement: (1) proportional death on both sides, (2) sacrifice your own soldiers, (3) discriminate between militants & civilians whilst firing from tanks & planes, risking your own men, and doing it when you don't necessarily have the technology of the US precision munitions, (4) have some overarching mission [democracy, freeing the people...] that justifies your own defense, and (5) never actually declare war; are as suicidal in practice as you would expect in theory.

Should war, once it [unfortunately] comes to that, be all out fight to win, decisively & swiftly?
