Building 7 is the mystery, however. No planes hit it. Yet it came down in a somewhat controlled fashion.
Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry.

Again, no mystery there and fully covered in the investigation.

No mystery for the investigators who looked into what caused building 7 to collapse. You just haven't been paying attention.

Building 7 is the mystery, however. No planes hit it. Yet it came down in a somewhat controlled fashion. "Somewhat controlled"? It's not a mystery, Phat, it had a massive hole in it and was on fire. Not only can its collapse be explained after the event, it was anticipated before the event --- the firefighters knew that it couldn't survive that much damage and so evacuated the area. I can find you a jillion statements from firemen saying this, if you like.

I have some young men at work (safeway) who are smarter than average but who like looking up conspiracy theories on their i-phones. They will likely grow up to be systems engineers, biologists, and educated contributors to society as many of you now are.
Conclusion?

In Canada, we're having a Federal election next fall and people are in a panic about how "somebody" might use social media to influence the results. we live in a society driven by media sensationalism as an addiction to alleviate the boredom of modern life and an escape.

ringo writes: Faith used to think that the liberals blamed Trump for everything. Some liberals did. Conspiracies are the new scapegoats, the Jews that you can blame for everything.The question is whether the conspiracy theories really come from a bunch of nuts or from the Propaganda Ministry. There have always been idiots and as John Stewart Mill suggested, idiots usually vote conservative. The conservative Christians I knew thought that Trump was approved by God and was prophesied by Kim Clement.

Republicans are a conspiracy of the wealthy designed to steal all the money in society, keep minorities and poorer people from voting, teach god-done-it in the public school science classroom and to criminalize abortion, self expression, love, sex, pursuit of happiness and alternate power sources while maintaining the more barbaric tenets of capitalism, white privilege and segregation especially from the poor which is all the rest of the 95% of the populous.
That's really not a conspiracy theory. It's more a conspiracy fact.Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.
