Be careful now, don't propose an observation that fails to falsify the existence of gravity, you actually need to PROVE that it exists. A picture of gravity would be best but you can do itany way you want.
I'll wait.

You are the one who postulated the argument that a hypothesis should be proven true. Fallacy number, oh well, I lost count. Why don't you stop creating straw man arguments and start addressing what I am actually saying?

Wait just one second.
So now you agree that lack of falsification of reasonably falsifiable hypotheses is the only standard of proof in the scientific method?
Great, we are making progress then.
I don't require that you PROVE your ideas about the behavior of thermite in the rational sense, I mean it in the sense outlined above:
You have a theory that this stuff is not thermite. In terms of your theory x, y and z can be expected to be observed in experiment. x, y and z are not observed in experiment, therefore your theory is falsified. If the theory that this is not thermite is false the converse, in terms of the law of the excluded middle, must be true. This method of deduction is is called reductio ad absurdum.
There is not one consequence of your idea that this is not thermite that has not been falsified, yet you continue making random things up like you think no one would notice.
No. Lack of falsification alone is not enough. A hypothesis also needs confirmation. How many times have I wrote this by now? Are you blind or just a troll? You are doing your utmost best avoiding to react to that statement. I think you know it is correct, but acknowledging it completely undermines the scientific value of Jones paper.
So tell me, which of my ideas of which I claim proves that it is not thermite has been falsified?

So then can you confirm to me that gravity causes Newton's law to hold?
Meet my challenge.
Of course I know you can't, because Newton's law is false under your pathological conception of science. As is Darwin's.
You claimed that energetic materials react completely.

then you laugh because I give you evidence that is not considered within the scientific procedure.

Now, when the initial design is damaged, gravity starts to work on the upper floors.

Sorry, during my engineering education and work experience I have never heard that phrase. Could you put it another way so I can get the gist of what you mean? I'm confused about this part:
gravity starts to work on the upper floors.

There are no impossible physics.
It was expressed earlier that gravity had nothing to do with the collapse.

Now you are simply being childish because it is becoming evident you are talking out of an orifice. Talking with you guys is like herding cats....
Let me answer for him.
How can gravity make a mass fall through another mass without being effected by resistance of that mass?
In other words, how did Ke increase to overcome increasing mass and resistance?
The towers weren't collapsing near the speed of light, but instead at about 6.6m/s^2. The towers also weren't the size of subatomic particles.
Over the years, scientists in just about every discipline have tested Newton's laws of motion and found them to be amazingly predictive and reliable. But there are two instances where Newtonian physics break down. The first involves objects traveling at or near the speed of light. The second problem comes when Newton's laws are applied to very small objects, such as atoms or subatomic particles that fall in the realm of quantum mechanics.
