The Real Cause and the Champlain Towers South Collapse

Those investigators are civil engineers, they are good at civi engineering, but they are not as good at physics as me
Dude, you don't even know what a black hole is. Those civil engineers understand physics a lot better than you do.

Don’t be so stubborn. Read the comments from 2 editors in chief about my theory.

I got the idea of the cause of the collapse of Champlain Towers South on June 28, 2021, just 4 days after the tragedy, I sent an email about this to ASCE on July 1, and got an email reply from ASCE Civil Engineering magazine Editor in chief, Laurie Shuster < lshuster@asce.org >, on the same day, her email is as follows:



Dear Wenbin Zhao:

Thank you for writing in with your thoughts on the causes of the collapse of part of the Champlain Towers.
You may indeed be correct in your theory as to the cause, but Civil Engineering must wait until the official forensic investigation has been completed to publish the cause or causes.

I do not know if the ASCE’s peer-reviewed journals would feel the same. More information on how to reach out to them may be found here: https://ascelibrary.org/journals

Laurie Shuster Editor in chief (She/Her)

I submitted my paper to Journal of Applied Physics, on Aug. 13, 2021, the editor in chief, Dr. Andre Anders, sent me an email on Aug. 17 and he said:


Your manuscript, referenced below, has been received by Journal of Applied Physics.

The Conjecture of the Cause and Process of the Champlain Towers South Collapse"

I note that your theory may be perfectly correct but this journal, Journal of Applied Physics, is not a suitable outlet for publishing this work.

You may indeed be correct in your theory as to the cause, but Civil Engineering must wait until the official forensic investigation has been completed to publish the cause or causes. ...
You can read into this that, also, you may indeed be completely incorrect as to the cause.

I do not know if the ASCE’s peer-reviewed journals would feel the same.
This means that the person who replied to you expects that a peer-reviewed journal would be likely to reject you work. This is a polite way of putting it.

This is a polite way of saying that the Journal of Applied Physics doesn't want to touch your work with a barge pole.

They probably figured they didn't want to waste time trying to explain to you all the deficiencies in your work.

They have more important papers to publish.

This seems like a very good time to review the classic letter of Mr. Scott Willams from Rhode Island to the Smithsonian Institute about his Australopithecus spiff-arino finding.

Smithsonian Institute
207 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20078

Dear Mr. Williams:

Thank you for your latest submission to the institute, labeled "93211-D, layer seven, next to the clothesline post . . . Hominid skull."

We have given this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to inform you that we disagree with your theory that it represents conclusive proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleton County two million years ago.

Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of the variety that one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be "Malibu Barbie." It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought to the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain that those of us who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to come to contradiction your findings.

However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the specimen which might have tipped you off to its modern origin:

1. The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are typically fossilized bone.

2. The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately 9 cubic centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified proto-homonids.

3. The dentition pattern evident on the skull is more consistent with the common domesticated dog than it is with the ravenous man-eating Pliocene clams you speculate roamed the wetlands during that time.

This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing hypotheses you have submitted in your history with this institution, but the evidence seems to weigh rather heavily against it. Without going into too much detail, let us say that:

A. The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has chewed on.

B. Clams don't have teeth.

It is with feelings tinged with melancholy that we must deny your request to have the specimen carbon-dated. This is partially due to the heavy load our lab must bear in its normal operation, and partly due to carbon-dating's notorious inaccuracy in fossils of recent geologic record. To the best of our knowledge, no Barbie dolls were produced prior to 1956 AD, and carbon-dating is likely to produce wildly inaccurate results.

Sadly, we must also deny your request that we approach the National Science Foundation Phylogeny Department with the concept of assigning your specimen the scientific name Australopithecus spiff-arino.

Speaking personally, I, for one, fought tenaciously for the acceptance of your proposed taxonomy, but was ultimately voted down because the species name you selected was hyphenated, and didn't really sound like it might be Latin.

However, we gladly accept your generous donation of this fascinating specimen to the museum. While it is undoubtedly not a Hominid fossil, it is, nonetheless, yet another riveting example of the great body of work you seem to accumulate here so effortlessly. You should know that our Director has reserved a special shelf in his own office for the display of the specimens you have previously submitted to the institution, and the entire staff speculates daily on what you will happen upon next in your digs at the site you have discovered in your Newport back yard.

We eagerly anticipate your trip to our nation's capital that you proposed in your last letter, and several of us are pressing the Director to pay for it. We are particularly interested in hearing you expand on your theories surrounding the trans-positating fillifitation of ferrous metal in a structural matrix that makes the excellent juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex femur you recently discovered take on the deceptive appearance of a rusty 9-mm Sears Craftsman automotive Crescent wrench.

Yours in Science,

Harvey Rowe
Chief Curator-Antiquities

If he was just polite, he would not say “perfectly correct.”, that means he agreed with me at least, some kind.

I’m pretty sure, with my instructions, those investigators will never find the real cause.

Yes he would.

Trust us on this one. We can read what the journalist is saying. It is his job to be polite.

No it doesn't.

It is just as polite to say my theory that blue shirts protect people from lightning "may be perfectly correct".

This is the first statement you've made since you signed up that I totally 100% agree with.

sorry, I said wrong, it should be “without my instructions…
 
OK, I posted my original paper and 5 Supplementary articles about the Cause and Process of the Champlain Towers South Collapse in Surfside, Florida on a Chinese blog platform at


I don’t know if you will be able to go to it.

If anybody is still interested in this topic, you can go to read it.
I welcome any comments including taunting like what you made a few days ago.
