General

John Wyndham created a special website for moderated discussion and debate of topics of scientific interest related to 9/11, much of which could be considered preliminary or controversial. That site is no longer being actively engaged with and John is effectively retiring from maintaining it. The discussion there contains material of value, so we don’t want to lose it. It is therefore being archived as a sub-folder on this site. You can access the original site, as long as it is up, or the static archive (frozen as of April 5, 2021).
