Howdy David, Discounting UFO's, a simple experiment can demonstrate the inherent characteristics of, for example, certain metals like copper. The more radical and speed of the bending of a copper rod, the more rapid the increase in heat generated. Unless, of course, the bend exceeds the tensile strength, which results in " snapping". The strange side to this experiment is that..the heat is negligent "if" it snaps instantly without any prior bending. Which brings us to the "phenomena" of the World Trade Center building collapse of WT1 and 2. The accounts of the "molten" metal reported left over from the pancaking "snapping" of the structure may or may not be an example of "elasticity".. unless.. well.. errr... one takes into account some people's brains, which can be extremely " elastic".
Richard On a German site I found this but in the movie he speaks English http://www.exopolitik.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=161&Itemid=54 Regarding Paul Hellyer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hellyer He affirms the claims of Wilbert B. Smith that the UFO's can alter the strength of materials. I have an idea of how this is made and I think this physical aspect is relevant for discussion on this list. As you can see here there is an "inconsistency" i the theory of elasticity Jozsef Garai, Alexandre Laugier: Inconsistencies in the current thermodynamic description of elastic solids http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0508107 It basically says that energy can be lost or won based on in what order compression and temperature changes takes place. As far as I can see this is not a problem at all. It is a well known phenomena. When energy is lost there is metal fatigue. When energy is won there is metal hardening. If you check the scientific treatment of metal fatigue and metal hardening they are both empirical lacking theoretical basis. So, can anyone follow up on this?
