You should probably get hold of "Amusing Ourselves to Death" by
Neil Postman. He goes into considerable detail about how the
nature of a medium affects the types of messages the medium can
carry.

i viewed part of a 9/11 video, once. One of the weak arguments
it rushed past claimed that one of the towers fell in 8 seconds
(based on measuring a seismograph trace), and a billiard ball
dropped from the top of the tower would have taken 9 seconds to
hit pavement, "therefore" the collapse of the tower must have
been a controlled demolition.
Some people who passed their high school physics courses are
probably rolling their eyes right now.
There is no way the "Conspiracy" could make a building collapse
faster than free fall, no matter what super-duper space-age
explosives they used. But if the video makers rush past this
and the viewer failed high school physics or has fallen into a
TV trance, he might not notice this physical impossibility.
It's interesting that you are both an AIDS dissident and a
9/11 conspiracy theorist. Do you have any other colourful
"alternative" beliefs? I saw a previous AIDS dissident poster,
Hayek, also posting in sci.physics.relativity opposing the theory
of relativity, and another who spent time here, Wolfgang, spent
time in sci.physics.relativity arguing against relativity and
in talk.origins arguing against evolution. I could give more
examples of people who adhere to extreme "alternative" theories
in more than one field of science.
None of these people are geniuses who have somehow seen through
fallacies that have fooled conformist scientists for decades.
That's what they want to believe, and that's what they want the
rest of us to believe, but it is plainly shown not to be so when
they fall for stupid arguments like the "faster than free fall"
argument from the 9/11 video I described above. Something else
is going on here.
I once asked in this group: How does it feel to be right when
everybody else is wrong? Nobody took the bait -- nobody answered
it. If they had, I would have followed up with a second question:
How does it feel to be wrong when everybody else is right?
I believe most dissidents will get the right answer to the first
question but not the second one.
