67. Explosives and thermite are two different things
A reactive mixture is categorized as an explosive if its shock wave reaches a particular velocity as a result of it reaction. Without looking it up I recall an explosion is above sonic velocity. Thermite does not react fast enough to be an explosive. Not even close. So called Super thermite might reach a deflagration velocity but I doubt it could be classified as an explosive.

So if there were explosions the evidence of it to would be all over the place because the nature of explosions spread out material far and wide. Thermite or super thermite would be a local event. I understand that people cling to the lunacy Jones puts out, but his basis is far fetched and so far he has not made available where the sample came from or the conditions of the sample. The things he claims points to CD are no more than pure speculation becasue he sompletely discounts the many mundane reason to explain his "findings"

If he was acting in good faith he would make public all the information about his sample.
