Yeah, I wasn’t sure if you were just summarizing causation or legitimately confused the concepts, so I just clarified to be on the safe side. Sorry if I got a little Sperg-ish there—I have tendency to get too focused on the technical when I’m in that “mode,” heh.

But even if you are aware, I still hope it can clarify for anyone else reading who may not know the difference.

Scorching might be one sign, but I’m talking beyond that & even internally—Like changing of the chemical structure due to the energy breaking chemical bonds & catalyzing other reactions with those reagents. You might find tiny pockets or traces of reformed granite or other igneous/metamorphic rock of different yet derivative chemical structure that ordinarily is not consistent with that rock. (You would want to get rid of the leftover rock, so a demo & disposal removes that particular kind of evidence.)

Someone also mentioned trapped water, or possibly catalyzed reactions creating water that was not there previously, heating up & causing enough pressure to explode. That makes sense to me because that rock exploded like a boiled egg I stuck in my microwave once.

Heating/energizing rock also weakens it structurally on a chemical & physical level, and causes the material to expand. If that happens too quickly (like with concentrated high power), the pressure from catalyzing reactions creating other chemical forms and/or expansion could cause it to explode with force.

It is possible to cut granite with lasers, for the record. So if the force & energy of a laser cutter is enough to mechanically crumble it, then on a physical force level, enough power can cause it to explode with greater force.

It all makes sense because the same energy that could leave sensor-detectable radiation and heat can also leave traces of rock chemical structure inconsistencies and can also cause an explosion.

There was another poster here somewhere that said they have more experience with DEWs and target effects, though that was specifically in the IR & they didn’t go too deep into specifics (I still need to respond and ask more about that)—Just that this was “not it.” I am wondering what “is it.” And after thinking about it a bit more & looking up some atuff, I think IR might not be the type of weapon used. So they may be right about that part.

Ironically, I also study IR, but I am not as experienced as other experts who have lived longer than I have, so I could be wrong & it might be wise to defer to that poster. Still, the circle of more experienced experts I have been able to work with study IR atmospheric effects & IR materials, specifically with the goal of getting around degraded environment limitations. It also helps the DEW argument that the weather seemed to be clearer/less degraded on the day the guidestones exploded. So I’m still skeptical & leaning on the side of plausibility. I’m also aware that the military compartmentalizes everything, especially technology that is highly TS, so the other more experienced poster may not be aware of some work being done outside but still related to his specific area. Especially if we’re going to consider very, very specific IR bands or other bands outside IR…

…Like microwave lasers, which have been studied since the 50s. That type of energy beam would give you that microwaved boiled egg explosion effect. And while the waves have a tendency to be be absorbed by water in the atmosphere, they could still penetrate given enough power, & a close enough distance to the target—So maybe the laser isn’t coming from the sky strapped to a high flying plane or satellite, but somewhere nearby under cover from a land vehicle or a low-flying plane. It was dark when the explosion happened (4 am), so that’s good cover for a stealth plane or drone. I’m curious to see what the planefags noticed around the area at that time… This type of beam would work ideally in a place that is already hot, less humid/high pressure, & without cloud cover, which is exactly what the weather conditions were the morning the guidestones were destroyed according to an archived weather map (showing conditions around 7 am). The heating of the atmosphere caused by such a high-powered beam would also cause unusual stormy weather, which I have been noticing in various places lately. And it just so happens that the same afternoon at 2:15pm, there was suddenly a tornado warning for all of Northeast GA, including Eberton County, which is exactly where the guidestones were. You don’t have a tornado system suddenly show up in a dry weather system with no wet systems coming in and clashing with it. Though the wind at the time was blowing a pocket of a low pressure/wet system south, I’m not sure the pressure difference would be enough to cause such strong disturbances & enough rotation to cause a tornado without some help... I think this was a residual effect of the atmosphere being disturbed/irradiated with concentrated (possibly microwave) energy in that particular spot.

While a lot has been studied, when it comes to EM radiation, I’d say far from everything has been studied, at least not in specifics, nor all applications, nor with public disclosure… Or maybe I’m just an optimist.

Anyway, I’m just rambling about my theories out loud now. I will take no offense if you ignore me, lol.
