If you must know, he has already submitted one of his papers on the subject to an actual peer-reviewed, scientific print journal, and it is in that process.

But I've only said this, what, 1000 times already here?

Which journal has he submitted it to?

When his paper gets published, and gets through peer review, then you'll have something.

They wouldn't have put him on paid leave had he properly followed the peer review process.
I mean, this was a paper outlining the collapse of a building, and he didn't give it to a single structural engineer. Why? Again, what was he hiding?

He then put his paper on the schools scientific journal, even though it hadn't adequately passed peer review. That is against the school rules and is a fireable offense.
They gave him the benefit of the doubt and put him on paid leave while they started investigating his peer review. But instead he opted for early retirement, so as to avoid the investigation.
Again, you don't find that suspicious?

You think he should be allowed to break the rules of the school just because he believes in 9/11 conspiracy theories? Every other Professor at the school must pass peer review before placing their work on the scientific journals. You think Jones should have special priviledges?

It's always the same old story. You all try so hard to believe anything a conspiracy theorist has to say, but so hard to ignore anything remotely supporting the official story. It's once again why I don't believe that you are all on a search for "truth".

Sorry. I took it to be the opposite of "incredulous" and related to "credible" (as opposed to incredible). You learn something new every day (if you're lucky).

Until such time as he receives that
valuable Denie-approved peer review.

So far, in this thread asking for scientific evidence supporting a scientific theory of CD, we have ZERO evidence for 10 pages.

Why is this the case? I was told there is plenty of such evidence, why is it so hard to post it??

He's keeping mum about it - trying to keep his chance of its publishing high, and away from too much publicity. I'm sure he'll tell everyone interested once it's passed review. From my understanding, review can sometimes take years.

Or how about at the very least a "structural engineer approved" peer review?
