It's a pretty interesting video but at the same time didn't we already know most of this? It was only a few days after the explosion that everyone settled on the explanation being a huge pile of improperly stored ammonium nitrate. I guess it's important to know exactly which safety regulations were being violated and getting a very good example of why those specific regulations exist, but it's not some sort of new bombshell

Ya, this very thread had it all hashed out within a few days.

My favorite dumb angle of "cia did a beruit" is that the ship was russian and the owner was russian and the russian government is protecting him for liability but yes it was the CIA.

Conspiracy theorists are comforted by the idea that intelligent people control everything, albeit evil people.

The world would be more frightening to them if it were chaotic and ruled by idiots.

Interesting, I assume of course the CIA had nothing to do with this

Of course not, everyone will soon find out that QAnon caused the explosion as a false flag operation against fake news.

Rich criminals with friends in Russia have been very successful with sowing enough doubt and confusion to avoid facing meaningful prosecution.

Do you have a video demonstrating how you accidentally photoshop photos of "barrel bombs" to give pretext for attacking Syria? Or is that still in progress?

Plastic: well known nuclear building material...

Polyethylene is rich in hydrogen atoms, and is about as effective a neutron shield as water, so it's used a lot for secondary shielding in nuclear reactors.

I've definitely felt like this from too much internet and posted like it.

It's a code name for a material that was used to build nuclear weapons. At one point they stopped making it, the knowledge of how to do so was lost, and then the national labs had to reengineer it all over again. But aside from that we the public know basically nothing about it, though it is speculated to be a polystyrene or aerogel of some kind.

wow you've got me thinking about what kind of performance aerogels could have under heavy radiation. assuming they would degrade, but then again they might never get hit with particles cause the structure is so sparse.

While he likely didn't success in building a reactor, he did create a fantastic neutron source in his mothers shed.

Current hypothesis is a polystyrene like material that is invisible to x-rays, since x-rays from the fission weapon are what actually lights up the fusion "spark plug" portion of the device. Aerogels are the other possibility.
