C'mon in who's world?
In physics, the path of least resistance is always taken by objects moving through a system

Haha good try, but sorry you fail. Please explain what external force the building would apply that would cause the top to change it's momentum?

Explain in what situation an object cab fall through itself with no resistance, using real physics references please?

Based on the image above, when the concrete sphere is dropped:
- Which path (A or B) is the "path of least resistance"?
- Which path will the falling object take?
Any contact that the building below made with the upper section would have applied a force on that upper section.

If you were talking a hermit that had always lived in the mountains maybe. However, Osama and his lieutenants are college educated engineers and doctors.....far from the ignorant sheep herders that you try to portray them as.
We are not talking about the sheep hearders are we though, we are talking about (Osama) it is he who is being blamed.
Now, for Osama lieutenants, being college educated engineers, and doctors, can you please prove that by siteing your sources, or are you just throwing your “opinions” around as facts as usual.
Education: degree in civil-engineering at Abdul-Aziz University in Jeddah 1979
The Kuwaiti who masterminded the 9/11 attacks, Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, had a degree in mechanical engineering from North Carolina
Mohammad Atta, one of the pilots who attacked the World Trade Centre, was studying urban planning at Hamburg Technical University, "a skilled but not creative draughtsman" by one account.
By 1979 he had earned a medical degree with a specialty in surgery,

As for gonenuts and his rants about multi trillon dollar...blab blah blah....all money appropriated for the Defense Department goes into different funds...and never do they mix. An example, many, many years ago I was with a helicopter squadron in Florida. It was a week from the end of the fiscal quarter and we were out of fly money (no money for fuel and parts), however, the base still had 80,000 to transplant palm trees for base beautification purposes. And thats how it works, when Congress passes the budget and the President signs it, the money is put into the different funds for different needs and it literally takes an act of Congress to move the money from one fund to the other.
You do not know where the money for the Defense Department goes even Rumsfeld, could *not* account for over two billon dollars that was missing the day before 911 happened You do not know where the money goes, who is handling the money You are not the governments auditor. The government cant handle running a country because it is too busy covering its behind, do to all the corruption.
