9/11 Troofers like to think that they have “researched” the collapse of the Twin Towers, when most have done little more that read a few articles on Alex Jone-like websites, watched a few YouTube videos, and romped around in Troofer forums/echo-chambers. I’m a researcher by profession, so I can assure you that none of these [...]

NIST claims thermal expansion caused the collapse of WTC7 by the fires?
Is there anyway you could post a comment on whether the degrees [...]

Uhhgg!
The most powerful atom-smasher ever built could make some bizarre discoveries, such as invisible matter or extra dimensions in space, after it is switched on in August.
But some critics fear the Large Hadron Collider could exceed physicists’ wildest conjectures: Will it spawn a black hole that could swallow Earth?
Or spit out particles that could turn [...]
