What does that have to do with the research of "HOW" the towers fell. The research does not attempt to nail down who or why. Although, Paul has discovered many connections with the patents, tests, etc that do implicate certain people.

Because trying to divine how is, in my opinion, missing the forest for the trees. You wind up with everyone arguing about whether it was holograms or neutrons or thermite or missiles and the people who did it sit and laugh at you.

If you know someone committed murder, debating if it was done with a rifle or a pistol or a slingshot isn't really that material to the situation at hand.

Also, most of the claims made on that website you linked are complete misunderstandings of physics. An example, since so many claims are made that addressing them all would take hours: "q-switching" in lasers is done to create high intensity pulses, while lowering the average power dissipation. Power = energy * time. If time goes down more than power goes up, the energy transfer decreases. Pulsed lasers are used for a variety of applications that require precise amounts of energy delivered to small areas with high intensities. There are a host of physical issues that make scaling the technology to "building destruction" impossible regardless of your budget. The systems used in fusion research are the size of a football field.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Ignition_Facility The system in question fires a 500 terawatt pulse for "a few" picoseconds. (let's say 10.) 500TW10Ps = 500x10^12W10x10^-12s = 5000 joules of energy. That's around the muzzle energy of a 300 winchester magnum - not known for its building destroying capabilities.

Edit to add: For reference, the latent heat of melting of 1kg of iron is ~250 kj/kg. It would take 50 shots of the NIF to melt a kilogram of iron. A major success of the NIF facility was that it lowered the cooldown time for each shot to ~4 hours.

Or put memetically: Jet lasers can't melt steel beams.

It was NEVER suggested in Paul's research that a Laser destroyed the buildings. OBVIOUSLY, you didn't read it. Lasers where used to produce the temperatures needed to harvest Neutron's.
