    Explain the physics. Please.
    Since you're calling it physics and not fluid (or thermal, or...) dynamics, I'm assuming you want this to be dumbed down to something that could be "accurately" described by a partial differential equation in no more than about 2 variables by neglecting anything that matters? Or are you trying to do this algebraically? Your basic starting point is ill-defined.

    Or you could seek to grasp, with a certain acceptance of randomness (and the inferior and dissatisfying nature of prob/stats) in localized flow. That method expects "hot" and "cold" spots based on local (and now indecipherable) topography. So you would look for the variations as possible evidence for the model rather than as proof of the Sino-Russian bullshit brigade's explanation. (Notice how whatever you do you're just trying to prove your starting point? That's why your sarcasm meter is beeping.) PM klar (and please let us know if she responds).

    Or you could just ask yourself how hot gasoline-soaked tires can burn and see if the wheels closest to the gas tank survived more often or not. Which is like setting out to prove Occam right. So, still doing it wrong, but different. In any case, TR please.

    Physics, gotchu fam. Fire is hot. Really hot. Simple as that.

    I'm tempted to go on about the theory of energy weapons and why there likely aren't any. But I'd use physics and math, and you're not going to understand anyway, or refuse to try. You're already struggling with the perfectly good explanation that "fire is hot."

    I'm also tempted to not even post, but I did train as a mechanical engineer, so I have some idea how to go about modelling an energy weapon and estimating how well it might work. I'm pretty good at explaining things, but don't know how to approach the topic in a way that a conspiracy theorist can grasp. You guys are latched onto your low information theories and refuse to vet your information or accept other vetted information. Imagine explaining how to light a fire to a dog. That's like an engineer talking to a tinfoil hat. In the end I'm not giving you a treat and you don't understand why.

    There was a big fire, people died, and we're sad. (Hopefully that satisfies like a pat on the head and a milk bone)

    There it is, short and sweet.

    That’s good. I was in the wildfire game for 32 years and saw stuff just like Maui on a somewhat regular basis, the kind of thing that baffled him. But I’ve been enjoying people here making fun of his paranoid delusions, more than rational explanations.

    Mock him or ignore him is my thought.

    I lean that way too, but he's not the only one, and we have an entire industry creating false news for these people. People who've figured out that sometimes the "news" didn't get the story right, or is outright wrong. Somehow they haven't figured out that "a guy on twitter" or their favorite alt "news" is even less reliable as a source.

    My best argument tools are logic, math, and science, but most of this crowd tuned out before seeing the tools, much less understanding them. And somewhat reasonably they don't trust things they don't understand. But why they trust made up shit puzzles me.

    Because they want it to be true.

    I cannot wrap my head around how those two cars burned, melted their wheels in the middle of a zone with no fire. But I can think of 10 things that make it exciting.

    And if you told me today, that Russia (or China) was laser-vaporizing our islands in 2023, I'd be like-- "That makes sense. You got any evidence? No? That makes sense, too."

    I just have too much access to technology in my pocket. I don't even know if we're real people anymore or living in a simulation. /play-along-please.

    If you think for one minute that Soros and Biden didn’t collab with Xi on Epstein island for this massive land grab then I got some waterfront property in Florida to sell you.


    Wake up sheeple.

    This. Glad there are some real truth-patriots on this site like you AK47. God bless you. Next up - a 15 minute city with digital ID facial recognition zones and open air prisons in 'New Lahiana'. All part of the Great Reset which was started by the Green Deal. Keep vigilant!

    I heard Obama’s birth certificate burned up in the fire.

    there are energy weapons (new US anti drone laser PR this week), but the problems are mostly boring shit. It’s hard to put enough light to destroy something in the real world because outside a light bench light does weird stuff, optics are mechanically finicky, any kind of crap on optics incinerates them, and you need lots of energy which is problematic if you aren’t hooked up to a really nice grid (277/450 3P in the past) or using weirdo chemicals.

    Right on brother.

    There’s a saying I like to say.

    “I may have been born at night but not last night”

    What it means is Im smarter than most these smooth brain lamestream media cucks.

    Be careful who you tell the truth too, my wife won’t speak to me anymore, she’s been silenced by the Biden crime family.

    That would be my very lay person guess. You’d need to be pretty close to something or start with a shit ton of captured available energy as you’re going to lose alot in directing and sending it.

    Calibrate it to an eleven for this thread.
