1. Thermite will react in air or without air
If you say so. I think it will burn under water once the reaction starts.
2. Paint will burn in air but not without air
It might burn if heated. It might also burn without air if it has its own oxidizer.
3. If you run the DSC in air and heat is evolved you don't know whether it is burning paint or thermite
BS! Iron Spheres will only form from a thermite like reaction. A normal combustible material cannot get hot enough to melt iron. It was only heated to a little above 400 degrees Celsius. a small amount of material like that could never get that hot in a million years without a thermite like reaction.
4. Jones ran the DSC in air
Irrelevant because of my answer in # 3.
5. He doesn't know whether it is paint burning or thermite
Everyone seems to know but about you and 19 others on all of ATS.
6. Because of this he can't claim thermite and hasn't proved thermite
False. Illogical conclusion.
So point by point you have nothing.

Since you're claiming that Jones' work has been peer reviewed, then you must be aware of an independent peer who Jones submitted his samples to in order to review his conclusions...?
If not, then the only peer review that matters is the peer review of the editor in chief of the journal that published it- she resigned in disgust becuase she didn't want to have her reputation tarnished by Jones' rubbish.

He said it on several occasions. Check the transcripts of his Norwegian radio interview.
So you agree with pteridine.
1. Thermite will react in air or without air
If you say so. I think it will burn under water once the reaction starts.
Only then it wouldn't be paint anymore. It would be more like rocket fuel, or maybe thermite. Hence the point of testing with NO air present.
2. Paint will burn in air but not without air It might burn if heated. It might also burn without air if it has its own oxidizer.
BS. I can melt steel with a match or Bic lighter. Not just can, have! The melted steel forms little spheres.
3. If you run the DSC in air and heat is evolved you don't know whether it is burning paint or thermite BS! Iron Spheres will only form from a thermite like reaction. A normal combustible material cannot get hot enough to melt iron. It was only heated to a little above 400 degrees Celsius. a small amount of material like that could never get that hot in a million years without a thermite like reaction.
Effectively nullified by my last (#3).
4. Jones ran the DSC in air Irrelevant because of my answer in # 3.
I am going to have to see the polling data and the margin for ERROR.
5. He doesn't know whether it is paint burning or thermite Everyone seems to know but about you and 19 others on all of ATS.
Ohhhkaaay.
6. Because of this he can't claim thermite and hasn't proved thermite False. Illogical conclusion. So point by point you have nothing.

She also claimed she cannot judge the paper because the subject matter is outside her field of experience.
Marie-Paule Pileni, the former Open Chemical Physics Journal editor in chief, in fact seems to have the ideal background to judge this paper. She has a thorough background in physical chemistry and chemical physics, as well as with explosives. She also has extensive connections to the defense industry [8]. These facts suggest more of her stretching the truth and resigning under pressure than due to incompetence or indignation. This paper leads to the undeniable implication that some of the most powerful people on Earth lied about what happened on 9/11 and were even possibly involved in the WTC tower demolitions. Would this not be a massive potential source of political pressure? Enough pressure for the editor to lie and resign?
If Jones' paper is so credible, why don't we discuss it point by point?
I have offered to do so with you and anyone or group you choose to have help you on the technical merits of Jones' paper.
Apparently, no experts will come to Jones' defense. Maybe they know that there isn't any defense.
What was the point of the particle atlas?
You have not debated me on the technical merits of the paper;
all you have done is to say Jones was correct and any arguments against him are opinion. That is not debate; it is obfuscation.
Are you ready to discuss the paper point by point?
Obviously you forgot you hadn't asked a question about the particle atlas.
I did look at it and noted that there were no iron spheres.
There were iron containing spheres and other iron containing materials, but no elemental iron spheres that one would expect from thermite.
I think you may have misinterpreted the data.
The atlas doesn't prove thermite.
Are you ready to discuss the paper? We can start at the beginning and step through it. You can support it and I will criticize it. Bring some friends.

Absolutely. The editor in chief at The Open Chemical Physics Journal that resigned is Professor Marie-Paule Pileni. The original interview is in Danish bit someone translated it-
"They have printed the article without my authorization else, so when you wrote to me, I did not mean that the article was published. I can not accept, and I have written to Bentham, that I withdraw myself from all activities with them, "says Marie-Paule Pileni, which daily is a professor specializing in nanomaterials at the prestigious Université Pierre et Marie Curie in France .
"I can not accept that the issue is put in my journal. The article is not about physical chemistry or chemical physics, and I could well believe that there is a political point of view behind the publication. If anyone had asked me, I would say that the article should never have been published in this journal."
I am quoting information posted in randi.org but you can do a Google search on Marie-Paule Pileni and get as much information as you'd like. The fact is, she dismisses the article as not being scientifically relevent as well as having a political agenda behind it, and she resigned becuase she didn't want to have anything to do with it.
Jones' work has gone through peer review, all right. The peer review says that Jones' report is garbage.

Because, the nonsense you posted would not stand up to the truth, nice spin.

Where does the file say elemental iron spheres? I must have missed it.
