Did Someone Drop a Minus Sign?

Oops

A 275-foot smokestack falls the wrong way after the demolition charges go off. I hope they blamed the kids who got to set off the detonator for screwing it up.

  1. Physical theory is derived from fundamental symmetries including mirror symmetry. There was obviously an ex post facto symemtry breaking by civil engineers who placed the power lines and electrical substation. Had they placed them mirror-symmetric, theory says the felled smokestack would have missed. See what happens when you use potassium silicate mortar?

    If the smokestack had landed upside-down and backwards, it would have been a parity violation. Net time, contract with Al Qaeda. They dropped the World Trade Center straight down – two perfect pancake demolitions.
