I would hope not with a PhD in 1990.
With your qualifications, you should have a look into the Iron Spherules angle we are looking at...ie from organic material such as human blood and tissue, as well as other organics. There is a thread on it... TAM |

Have been following that. IMO there would not have been enough blood to cause that. |

Wow! Mensa-cubed is all I can think of when I see this thread. Is there any way I can get you guys to stop master posting on each other for just a second, and perhaps answer a teenie-weenie question I have presented here: http://www.internationalskeptics.com...00#post2891400 TAM needs a little help, and we wouldn't want the real world to think that JREFers are just a bunch of high-schoolers, right? Thanks! Max --- |

Behave Max.
I told you, I am waiting for others to comment. You know, people who STUDY Metals, and how and what they do under heat.... Be patient. I have been here for over a year. TAM Edit: Oh, and I find I like you better when you don't refer to yourself in the THIRD PERSON. |

well see if you can put aside your bias and as an honest scientist help CC and Greening as well as others look at the Organic source theory for the iron spherules...I know it will be disasterous for S. Jones Thermite theory, but remember, it is all about the TRUTH.

Another one late to the thread. No flight experience but I've been in television production for 25 years, initially as a cameraman (studio and field) for 8 years (before deciding that I didn't much appreciate shooting in inclement weather) and the time since as a freelance editor. Most of what I've done has been for specialty networks (HGTV, Life, etc.) as well as a couple of documentaries. I've also cut short films, one of which was at Sundance in 2004. I think I can add to the already deep bench-strength here on video analysis. I also have a working understanding of basic metalurgy through a summer spent working for a heat-treating company and, having passed high school physics back in the day, retain enough to know that the twoofers haven't a clue about what they're talking about.

What is "propper" and what is the correct method of throwing it (them)?
We Canadians are stuck in the middle. We spell the word that refers to the wavelength of light reflected off surfaces, both as "colour" and as "color". We spell it correctly when we can ignore our automatic spellcheckers trying to "correct" us, and we spell it "color" when we get fed up and decide just to go with the enormous flow out across the southern border. |

See! Thar ya goez agin! Makin fun an usin big words.
The proper method of transferring a spherical object ffrom one individual to another is by using the dominant arm and hand to propel said sphere, while using a single stride to ensure that sufficient energy is imparted to the object such that it reaches its intended target with minimum chances for interception by hostile forces. It is not propelled by standing flat-footed and using two hands over the head, nor is one penalized because of inability to keep both feet earthbound during the throw! So there! |

As an aside, we've just landed a commission for a new 36 storey mixed use office block in sunny Manc land. But apparently I don't know nuffin' about such things, according to the troofers, so all of you from the northwest of England take care in case it lands on your heads.....
