Part 5/12:
- No Evidence of Krenellated Spheres: The supposed tiny spheres with specific “krenellations” observed under SEM in some dust samples—claimed by proponents of the nanothermite theory—are shown to be typical oxidized metal droplets formed during standard heating or melting processes, like welding or metal melting, not evidence of a deliberate explosive or incendiary device.
The Myth of Unique Spheres
One of the central claims of the nanothermite theory is the presence of distinct, highly spherical, krenellated metal particles in the dust samples. Griner emphasizes that such spheres are routinely produced in common industrial processes such as metal melting or grinding, and are not exclusive to explosive reactions.
