We are still having unbelievable computer/Network problems and no idea
what it is. Hang in there - and consider this another "emergency"
ZGram just so you know I do not want to miss a day. Here goes:
One of my fervent wishes is that the engineering community world-wide is
going to kneel into the murky matter of the Holocaust and decide once and
for all and as loudly as they can that it is OVER. Science cannot be suspended,
not even for the "Nazis."
Meanwhile, off and on, I get a letter from a lone wolf somewhere who has
decided to get out his scratch pad and do a few calculations. I have no
way of knowing if he is close or not with what he wrote below, but what
he has to say is food for thought for other engineers.
(He is still working off old data - 4 million dead at Auschwitz versus the
"official" 1.1 (?) million, but even so . . . - was it not only
yesterday when we believed such nonsense?)
Here is what he shipped to me:
"I am a mechanical engineer, and have principally worked in the materials handling field. Having mega doses of "Holocaust" force-fed to me via my visual and audio senses, I have decided to review the available data from a standpoint of having to engineer such a project.
Let us examine the claim that 4 million Jews perished at Auschwitz.
At the close of the war (1945), there were 15 (5 sets of 3 each) crematoria found at Auschwitz by the Allies. I checked a local undertaker and also a crematoria and they informed me that it takes 4-6 hours to cremate a human body. Given an average of 5 hours each, a maximum of 75 bodies could be disposed of in a given day.
Remarkably, 4,000,000/75 equals 53,333 days or about 146 years.
This means that the Germans could not have finished the job until the year 2091, and would need another 96 years (as of 1995).
Proper engineering of this project requires a capacity of 1.3 million/yr. or about 3,560/day. As earlier stated before, the crematoria have a capacity of about 75/day. so that approximately 700+ crematoria would be required. Of course, nothing of the kind was found.
Now, 3,560/day meant approximately 445,000 lbs of carcasses (@ 125 lbs.) would have to be efficiently managed. Effective management of this type of tonnage would require automated conveying equipment similar to a trolley conveyor found in meat packing establishments. We are talking about 445,000 lbs (220 tons) a day. There is no way that this much material could be handled without automated conveying equipment. Even a meat packing plant 1/10th the capacity would have to shut down without it's conveyors. Of course, no such conveyors were in evidence.
It takes the BTU equivalent of 200 lbs. (1/10th ton) of coal to cremate a human body. Therefore, approximately 800 million pounds or 400,000 tons of coal would be required. It would strain credulity to believe that Hitler would commit this amount of resource energy to the cremation of Jews during wartime especially when they were capable of converting coal to various other fuels.
Approximately 1/10th the body weight is converted to ash so that there should be 25,000 tons of ash remaining. Where is it?
If the bodies were not cremated, there should be an incredible 500 million pounds or 250,000 tons of carcasses about. Where are they?
Consider the following: A cubic foot of water weighs 62.5 lbs. A human of 125 lbs. would displace about 2 cu. ft., actually a bit more since they float. The claim of 4,000,000 dead means that about 8,000,000 cu. ft. of humans were disposed of. For the sake of argument, lets pile them in the shape of a pyramid. Given the volume of a pyramid as the base times the height divided by 3, a pyramid of 288 x 288 x 289 (ft.) would accommodate the Jewish victims of Auschwitz.
Similar sized pyramids can be found in Egypt. The Great Pyramids of Gizeh are Menkaure, Khafre, and the Great Cheops. The pile of Jews would be in size, in between Menkaure and Khafre. Actually, the pyramid would be greater since this represents perfectly compressed corpses. I suspect that the actual size would approach the size of Khafre due to air spaces etc. The Pyramids are clearly visible from outer space. Can you believe that this pile of rotten corpses (similar in size to the Great Pyramids of Gizeh) could be somehow be overlooked?
In 1991, the Russians released captured German records of operations at Auschwitz. The records show a death toll of 74,000 of a wide myriad of ethnic backgrounds. As we saw above, the crematoria had a capacity of 15 a day. Given a maximum of 1,000 days, Auschwitz could have handled 75,000 which is in keeping with expected deaths.
Nothing above is meant to diminish the terror and tragedy of what took place at Auschwitz, it is merely an examination from an engineering standpoint.
The claim of 4 million at Auschwitz is not even a good lie. It is not even a bad lie. In order for it to be a lie at all, it must have some believability. This claim has none.
Some time ago, I read of the Anne Frank Diary hoax and how her Father, Otto, had plagiarized another literary work and palmed it off as his daughter's. At that time I was disturbed that a human could descend to such a vile endeavor as to make a buck off his dead daughter.
Today, I can only begin to tell you of the utter revulsion I experienced when I realized the mathematical and physical impossibility of the "Holocaust".
The hatred in the hearts of the perpetrators of this myth many times exceeds their ill gotten gains."
