Why do you guys refuse to look at initiation when it is the single most important factor.

I TOLD YOU!!! 36 threads devoted exclusively to initiation and, before you came along, the subject of ROOSD was getting very little play after being written out. LIAR! (sorry, I had to see what that feels like; it could be an honest mistake if you're a total idiot - I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.)

ROOSD exists so initiation can be focused on exclusively! You're the only one that wants to make it go away, for some reason. Don't admonish these guys about focusing on initiation - YOU are the only distraction and I encourage them to ignore you. Me, I can continue to argue this academic trifling.

Assuming the existence of the upper block alone is not enough to start ROOSD, so even if you refuse to make your assumptions explicit you are assuming something hugely significant.

Correct. Cause for ROOSD preconditions are never specified. The preconditions themselves, however, are seen to exist through unknown cause. The whole theory (here we go again) is that, IF THE CONDITIONS COME TO BE BY WHATEVER REASON, ROOSD say collapse is ensured.

You're saying the apple can't fall from the tree; ROOSD says, once detached, in the conditions of an orchard on Earth, it will fall to ground. Argue against that as much as you want, even from the tautology and circular angle. You still won't get much traction.

"You can't say it falls because you see it fall.."

Mechanically, it's self evident, much like Newton's take might be on an apple - ONCE detached.

I'm sorry, focusing on ROOSD so that you can focus on initiation exclusively is more than a little idiotic when ROOSD can only work under very specific conditions of initiation.

The equations you are using assume a particular arrangement of material, you cannot use them to divine the arrangement of material.

You're saying the apple can't fall from the tree; ROOSD says, once detached


Detached how? If there is a birds nest under the apple it can't, and we want to know if there was a birds nest under the apple, not whether it can fall.

For the love of all that is good and holy!!

Compare the first and the fourth one. Same mass, same tower, one under static load the other dynamic. Yet the one fails completely in the manner of ROOSD and the other does not. It is not an analogue for the tower, but it demonstrates a simple physical fact that you are completely avoiding to save a theory that is an analytical dead end.

Assuming ROOSD is assuming a starting condition. The only thing you are doing by not talking about the starting condition is put blinkers on to a patently idiotic assumption. Just because you ignore it doesn't mean you are not making it.

The tower could never have gotten into a condition to start simple ROOSD through the action of gravity alone, so ROOSD is analytically dead in the water. Whether you admit that to yourself or not is the only thing that is at issue here.

Bingo!!! ROOSD and all else. Are you beginning to understand the logical partition? Getting to ROOSD conditions requires an entirely different mechanism, once there - forget about it. Can impact and fires get you to ROOSD? I don't know, but a lot of people think so and others do not. This partitioning is not a secret, it's spelled out in great detail in the thread and has been mentioned to you a number of times.


No, that partition doesn't make any sense.

ROOSD doesn't tell you anything whatsoever unless you assume very particular starting conditions.

The statement "The sky is blue" cannot tell me what time I got out of bed this morning, no mater how true it is. Unless I also know that I always get out of bed when the sky is blue and assume that the sky is only blue when the sun is up, and assume the sun rises at a certain time.

ROOSD is a purely analytical fiction and purely analytical fictions have a very particular feature:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_analysis


It is NOT a disposable feature.

If ROOSD is the only gravity theory available then we can certainly falsify ROOSD by assuming it happened and then concluding that the initiation is impossible from gravity alone.

But there is a name for this procedure in argument: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawman

Not because of the progression of ROOSD, you must understand, BUT BECAUSE IT MAKES AN IDIOTIC ASSUMPTION ABOUT THE INITIATION, and then proceeds to ignore the initiation as if it is not important.

Tired of this waffle.

Split from structure. Stick it in the gallery.

Yes, proving that heavy things fall is not waffle and completely appropriate scientific procedure.

I see how this game works now.

Splendid.

Now perhaps you will be quiet and let us get with initiation, rather than spamming this thread with what amounts to nonsense.

How's your heat loss factor coming on ? :)

Darkwing, you are so missing the point. I've been getting a little testy, and I want to stop that, but I don't know how to be any clearer. Say less?

Darkwing wrote:...focusing on ROOSD ...

has been done a lot more since you showed up. I think very little time is spent on it here otherwise. None, right now, other than back and forth with you. People bring it up as an explanation but don't spend a lot of time on it. Other than this.

Assuming ROOSD is assuming a starting condition.

Exactly. That's not a bad thing in the context.

The only thing you are doing by not talking about the starting condition ...

THIRTY-SIX threads devoted to initiation. TWO threads about ROOSD. Before you came along, the subject of ROOSD was getting very little play after being written out. Multiple threads were not veering off into the subject.

You're the one focusing on ROOSD. I'm going to stop addressing it. SanderO and femr2 may continue to do so but, if they stop answering your challenges I suppose it will fade away.

...a patently idiotic assumption.

I disagree. I think it's highly likely to have occurred.

The tower could never have gotten into a condition to start simple ROOSD through the action of gravity alone, so ROOSD is analytically dead in the water.

I don't agree with the first part (gravity), but that is at least debatable. So, if explosive assistance were to have happened, say down 10 - 20 floors getting creamed all at once at initiation so as to create ROOSD preconditions, it's still analytically dead in the water?

Me, too. I want sausage and eggs. Really, I'm going to stop.

Darkwing, you're absolutely right. As it is a patently idiotic assumption, it's time to abandon it. Since I don't know what happened in terms of any of the details of the collapse, and don't understand mechanics, I've nothing more to say on the subject.

Yeah, I hate extractions, but it will be done.

I am not sure where there is a good place to put this link. I once downloaded all of the column data from wikidots. Here there are in case anyone else would like to download them.

Thank you Mr. K... I was missing that page!

Does anyone know the origin of the information about these columns sizes? Wouldn't this come from the structural drawings? Are they available?

Wonderful.

Has anyone had success backing it up ?

I've tried httptrack, but that fails due (i think) to the embedded http address format.

The whole site in a zip would be splendid.

Yes, I have the gifs in a zipped file. It is about 8 Meg's. I can email thru this site.
