For me - 9/11 was the number one event has made me distrust appealing to authority - more than anything else.

If you don't see WTC7 as a controlled demolition, than this thread won't be for you.

The people that do however - will understand what I'm saying.

I'm not a structural engineer. I'm not a physicist. I'm not even an amateur architect. But I am 100% sure of WTC7's demolition. As sure as I am of being alive. And I appeal to you that any single person that looks at WTC7 with out any attachments to world-view, indoctrination, personal narritive about the workings of the world, or bias - would tell you controlled demolition without a second thought.

For a refresher - here is a gif of the demolition.

Let me remind you, this is what free-fall implies on a purely logical and intuitive level:

That the top of the building fell through the entire rest of the steel framed structure without a single newton of opposing force. For free-fall to occur, there cannot be any resistance. This means that each one of the core columns had to completely fail within microseconds of each other - something that is an impossibility in a modernly designed steel structure. These columns were cut.

This is basic newtownian laws level physics.

However - I'm not here to argue WTC7. Im here to argue the reality of world-view influencing science.

Science and the scientific method are wondeful tools for observing and categorizing the world around us. The problem does not lie in the scientific method.

The problem lies in people. People have world views. People have egos. People have reality tunnels. People are people. They are not infallible. They are not special because their profession in a specific area of their life in a very specific enquiry uses the scientific method. There are hardcore Chritian evolutionary biologists. How do they make it work? Backwards rationalization. They make it fit. Somehow, they piece it into their view of reality.

WTC7 is perfect to get a grasp on how closely someones interpretation of 'science' is influenced by their own reality tunnel. Consensus of the professionals shouldn't matter. Does that make you crazy?

I guess it does. It makes you crazy in the same way Galileo was crazy. The same way Copernicus was crazy.

Is that a delusion of grandeur? I don't think so.

If there's one point to keep in mind while researching alternative theories, it's this: Humans are not any smarter than we have ever been. We are simply more knowledgable. We have the same pitfalls we've always had.

The same reality tunnels, and the same problems of our world-view being created by our culture's beliefs.

But now we have something our predesessors didn't: the internet. A way to have alternative conversation that goes completely against the orthodox views of the society. We see it in politics most obviously.

How does this relate to /r/holofractal? It should be obvious. Kids that have went to school for 4-8 years studying (memorizing) nothing but what has been accepted as the current model of reality. No exploration. You want to calculate the proton mass and/or spin? Here you go: here's decades of work on completely unsolved quantum chromodynamics. Start where we're left off - there's no point in doing it any other way, we've got decades behind this - and we'll get it sometime soon. Get so deep into advanced calculus and calculations that you completely forget what you're doing isn't even working.

In walks Nassim Haramein. No PHd. No thesis paper. An autistic autodidact. Spends decades educating himself on physics - alone in a van. Doesn't take anyone's word for anything.

Immediately notices the insanity of the modern physics tunnel including: missing 90+% of the Universe's mass and covering it up with dark matter. Renormalizing the field equations in QFT because the planck density is so high 'it just doesn't fit'. On and on and on.

These are symptoms of a majorly flawed model. This isn't physics - this is make it up as you go with bandaids on the way mathematics.

Ask a physicist to look at Nassim's model: Where are your derivatives? How can you possibly submit algebra as quantum gravity? How can you add spin to Einstein's field equations when we've been doing physics just fine without it for 40+ years? How could you possibly submit a working relativistic confinement model when we've been doing it differently for so long? How can you possibly have expected to solve the most difficult questions in physics without learning what we've learned, and doing it how we've been doing it? This can't be right - you're a quack. Shut him up!

And they never get a chance to try and grasp the full solution in their head. They never get a chance to see that it beautifully fills so many major holes in physics - without violating any observations or experimentation. They simply can't make it fit in pieces in their reality tunnels. They know that confinement is due to the strong nuclear force. They know the vacuum energy isn't real. On and on.

“One can give good reasons why reality cannot at all be represented by a continuous field. From the quantum phenomena it appears to follow with certainty that a finite system of finite energy can be completely described by a finite set of numbers (quantum numbers). This does not seem to be in accordance with a continuum theory and must lead to an attempt to find a purely algebraic theory for the representation of reality.”

Albert Einstein

Is Nassim completely, 100% right? Maybe, maybe not. Does the fact that I can't go to a physicist and talk about this preclude me from entertaining it as reality? Absolutely not. The same way I don't change my beliefs about what happened on 9/11 because somebody says so.

“You have to take seriously the notion that understanding the universe is your responsibility, because the only understanding of the universe that will be useful to you is your own understanding.”
