Note he doesn't say he found any form of thermite. Nothing he found
can only be explained by the existance of any form of thermite.
The Harrit paper for Dummies.
The aim of the experiment is to determine whether thermite was
present.
The thermite reaction contains its own oxygen source.
The thermite reaction will proceed in an oxygen-free atmosphere.
Combustion will not.
Therefore, in order to distinguish between a thermite reaction and
combustion, calorimetry must be carried out in an oxygen-free
atmosphere.
The calorimetry carried out in the paper was in an
oxygen-containing atmosphere. Therefore, the calorimetry cannot be
taken as evidence of a thermite reaction.
For Harrit et al to claim that their results are evidence of a
thermite reaction, they appear to be assuming that any real
scientists reading their paper are, rather than are not,
stupid. Sadly for them, we aren't.
