Cogs can think.

I want to talk to you about a scientific principle from the 14th century. This principle is called Ockham’s Razor, and it explains that if you have two different theories capable of explainging the same event or phenomenon, the simplest one is usually the correct one. Most people (including myself, actually) got to know this principle via the film ‘Contact’.

Yesterday was 9/11. There are two theories concerning this event. One says the attacks were staged by the United States government, meaning the US gov. has been working for years, with thousands of people, companies, airlines, explosives experts, controlled demolition experts, politicians, the military, etc. without any of them ever leaking any kind of information to the outside world. The US gov. would be willing to kill thousands of innocent people in order to justify going to war with Iraque.

The second theory says that a bunch of brilliant idiots came up with the relatively simple plan of hijacking a few planes and fly them into important buidings, causing mass hysteria and terror.

Back to Ockham’s Razor. You get my point?

Of course I’m not even going into the fact that almost all claims made by our black helicopter-loving friends have been refuted [.wmv] using scientific research, in particular research by Dutch controlled demolition experts, aeronautic engineers, and scientists from the Technical University in Delft.

A random set of exmaples: the black helicopter people say that the turn the plane that crashed into the Pentagon made was impossible, the plain would fall apart. Nonsense; aeronautic engineers in The Netherlands put inexperienced pilots in Boeing 757 simulators, and made them do the turn; they all succeeded. Scientists from the TU Delft calculated that the maximum amount of G forces experienced during this maneouvre did not surpass 1.5G. You experience more in your car.

Secondly, the claim that controlled demolition was used to destroy the WTC: the controlled demolition experts explained that the building started coming down EXACTLY where the planes hit; it did not look like controlled demolition AT ALL. The fact that the tower who got hit later came down first was because that plane hit lower, meaning more weight of the tower pressed upon the sore spot of the tower, making it come down earlier. The scientists from the TU Delft calculated that the amount of energy of the planes and the crashes were enough to bring down the towers.

And so every argument was torn apart by people who actually know what they are talking about.

People who believe in these 9/11 conspiracies, as with all other conspiracies, are moronic idiots. “omg wtf lolololol theres a movie on t3h 1nt3rnet, it must be true roxx0rs!”

Look boys and girls, I detest the current US gov. as much as the next guy, but they will not kill innocent Americans like this. To even think that, is completely moronic, and if you believe in nonsense like this, you are ripe for the men in white coats.
