Some brilliant individual at JREF has started a new thread.
What if we had $50 million for a new investigation? - JREF Forum
Unfortunately I cannot contribute since I have been banned for years.
You know, broken record talking about steel and concrete distributions.
So here is my approach. Create a contest which only physicists and structural engineers can enter. Give $50,000 to whoever enters the contest. They must sign a contract to spend most of the money building a model to do a gravitational collapse. But if they succeed in building a satisfactory collapse model then they win $1,000,000.
Things like minimum height, weight, percentage of dropped portion would all need to be worked out in the contract.
But so far after 12 years we do not have any such model.
The issue is not who did what. The issue is physicists accounting for physics for the next 1,000 years.
