DESCARTES E A DÚVIDA METÓDICA SOBRE A QUEDA DAS TORRES GÉMEAS EM 11 DE SETEMBRO DE 2001 EM NOVA IORQUE
Estas dúvidas metódicas foram organizadas por académicos norte-americanos.
«Conclusions
I have called attention to glaring inadequacies in the “final” reports funded by the US
government. I have also presented multiple evidences for an alternative hypothesis. In
particular, the official theory lacks repeatability in that no actual models or buildings
(before or since 9-11-01) have been observed to completely collapse due to the proposed
fire-based mechanisms. On the other hand, hundreds of buildings have been completely
and symmetrically demolished through the use of pre-positioned explosives. And hightemperature
chemical reactions can account for the observed large pools of molten metal,
under both Towers and WTC 7, and the sulfidation of structural steel. The controlleddemolition
hypothesis cannot be dismissed as "junk science" because it better satisfies tests
of repeatability and parsimony. It ought to be seriously (scientifically) investigated and
debated.
A truly independent, cross-disciplinary, international panel should be formed. Such a panel
would consider all viable hypotheses, including the pre-positioned-explosives theory,
guided not by politicized notions and constraints, but rather by observations and
calculations, to reach a scientific conclusion. If possible it would question, under oath, the
officials who approved the rapid removal and destruction of the WTC steel beams and
columns before they could be properly analyzed.
None of the government-funded studies have provided serious analyses of the
explosive demolition hypothesis at all. Until the above steps are taken, the case for
accusing ill-trained Muslims of causing all the destruction on 9-11-01 is far from
compelling. It just does not add up.
And that fact should be of great concern to Americans. (Ryan, 2004). Clearly, we must find
out what really caused the WTC skyscrapers to collapse as they did. The implications of
what happened on 9/11/2001 clearly supercede partisan politics. Physics sheds light on the
issue which we ignore to our peril as we contemplate the wars that have been and may yet
be justified on the basis of the 9/11 tragedy and its "official" interpretation.
To this end, NIST must release the 6,899 photographs and over 300 hours of video
recordings – acquired mostly by private parties – which it admits to holding (NIST, 2005,
p. 81). Evidence relating to WTC 7 and its mysterious collapse must not be held back. In
particular, photos and analyses of the molten metal observed in the basements of both
Towers and WTC7 need to be brought forth to the international community of scientists
and engineers immediately. Therefore, along with others, I call for the release of these and
all relevant data for scrutiny by a cross-disciplinary, international team of researchers.
The explosive-demolition hypothesis will be considered: all options will be on the table.»
