The Federal Government, which battled for decades to keep the workings of the hydrogen bomb secret, is beginning to declassify some of the most sensitive aspects of its design and to let American scientists publish them in scientific literature.
At times American scientists have been ordered not to attend meetings with foreign scientists, because they would have run the risk of discussing classified information.
In particular, friction arose over secrecy surrounding a concept known as indirect-drive fusion, in which powerful beams of particles or concentrated laser light is used to bombard tiny fusion fuel pellets for a split second, trying to heat and squeeze them to the point of ignition.
The trick, as with the hydrogen bomb, is to use a metal enclosure to insure that radiation pressure would be uniform. In a hydrogen bomb, energy from atomic reactions hits the bomb's interior casing, which then re-radiates huge numbers of X-rays to compress and ignite the fusion fuel. In controlled fusion experiments, laser beams are shot into a tiny metallic cavity (known as a hohlraum, from the German for hollow room) that surrounds the fusion fuel and re-radiates a crushing wave of X-rays that converge on the fuel pellet

a by product of a clean hydrogen bomb is water, of which plenty was found

Also think about the energy required to damage the Bathtub, it is massive and was cracked.

The dust in the air is a product of a phreatic reaction caused by a single high energy event super heating the water molecules in the cement, massive expansion turns it to dust.

The radiation a clean hydrogen bomb creates is in the UV range

Another find was a bottle of Red Mercury. Now this was a big deal for me. In order for a nuclear bomb to created fusion, you need fission, which is why nuclear missles are so complex. Back in the peak of the Cold War, the USSR came out with a story that stated they developed a chemical that could create fusion WITHOUT fission, thus creating the capabilites for the possibility of a small, cheap nuclear mega-ton bomb. It was called Red Mercury. Most people say it was just some urban legend that was whipped up by the Soviets to sell some crap on the black market for $200K-$300K per ounce (which they did). No tests have ever proved that this substance actually worked. It was produced on the USSR and Eat Germany, from what I know. It just goes to show what extent Iraq was taking to create something for mass destruction.

Well that is a good observaton.
One which I have not the necessary explaination for.
The fact remains over and above this mans survival is that the energy required to evidence the disintegration of WTC1-2 can not be explained in a gravity collapse.

There is this janitor who worked in WTC, who was in the basement when things started to go to hell. He does testify that he felt and heard an explosion from underneath him, in the lower basements, but he is still around.. if there really was a nuclear explosion would he not have been turned in to a bloody mist ?

"and he evacusted at least one person with burns over most of their body.
He committed suicide very recently.
but he is still around.. if there really was a nuclear explosion would he not have been turned in to a bloody mist ?

All right guys,
What’s the difference between red mercury and bigfoot? Bigfoot’s been spotted!!
Sorry, but ya’ll know I don’t believe in red mercury. Until someone can — theoretically — explain what the ‘stuff’ EXACTLY is, it belongs in the hoax category, right along with Sasquatch. No one in the scientific community is talking about this substance (save Samuel Cohen, but he may have an ‘agenda’). And there is a reason for this. There is no theoretical basis for HOW and WHY red mercury or whatever, packs so much energy.

Perhaps we are misunderstanding one another. But my question is, by which physical process does the fabled ‘red mercury’ release its energy? Chemical, fusion or fission??
As a reminder, here are the MAXIMUM theoretical energy densities of these reactions:
chemical 10 kJ/cm3
fusion 100,000,000 kJ/cm3
fission 1,000,000,000 kJ/cm3
antimatter annihilation 10,000,000,000 kJ/cm3
Where does ‘red mercury’ — which I say is a hoax — fit in??
