9/11 Twin Towers Collapse and Vaporization Cannot Be Explained by Nano-Thermite Alone

It is a law of materials science that, in order for an explosive to destroy a material, it must have a detonation velocity equal to or greater than the speed of sound in that material. Nanothermite does not satisfy that condition for either concrete or steel, which makes it a non-starter for this role.
The speed of sound in concrete is 3,200 meters/second and in steel 6,100 meters/second. The highest possible detonation velocity for nanothermite in the scientific literature is only 895 meters/second – 28% of what is required for concrete, and 15% of what is required for steel.
