Proof the moon doesn’t emit light?

AMC back to north of $60!  Gotta go!

I think it's one of those things that we understand the benefits because that's the way it is.

Who knows if somewhere there's a planet with two-three smaller suns and life developed because of that and they're sitting around talking about how lucky they are to have multiple suns that keeps the planet in constant daylight because without that they couldn't survive.

Sump't'n ain't right.

There's a 15,000 year old painting showing the moon phases. Is there another older than that?

What do you mean they all rotate except for our moon, then you say there are other moons that are tidally locked like ours? Proxima Centauri B and binary stars are also likely to be tidally locked.

The moon gives us tides and something interesting to look at in the night sky, and it occasionally casts it's shadow on the earth.

The seasons are a function of the earth's orbit around the sun and the offset of it's rotational axis.

It could be speculated that the offset of the axis was caused in the moon forming collision event, but that would mean that our seasons were ultimately given to us be an unnamed mars sized rock.

Hallow be the moon, proving is hard.

Whoever taught you that the moon doesn't rotate needs to learn what tidally locked is.  Mercury is tidally locked to the sun, Phobos and Diemos are tidally locked to Mars.  I can keep going as well.

The fact that you think the question is a joke says a lot about why the world is so insane.

Pretty sure he's just a low grade troll, I've noticed him a couple times in his short time here.

Odds so low that pretty much every other planet we know of has one or more moons as well.  

It's either a joke or you have a learning disability, and I truly and honestly don't know which

Indigenous ways of knowing^tm are just as credible as our "science"

F_G = Gm₁m₂ / r² = racism

That is proof of our terrible knowledge of optics

Nice try, though

this may be the best post i've ever read here

Nothing you wrote here is actually true (except perhaps the fact that tribes in Africa talk about a time before the moon, as if that means anything).

1. The timeline of the moon has nothing to do with the bible. That's just fucking stupid.
2. The mass of the moon does not prove it is hollow, the moon is made of lighter rock than the Earth's core of molten iron because it was formed from the collision of two planets and most of the material in the moon is the lighter "crust" material from the Earth and the smaller planet that collided with the Earth 4 billion years ago.
3. The moon does rotate - it's rotation is exactly the same as the orbit around the Earth which is why we only see one side (keeping in mind that the moon is simultaneously in orbit around the Earth)

It's like talking to a brick wall.

our terrible knowledge of optics? That guys entire statement was about god providing visible light. Of which the moon doesn't emit any. It reflects.

But it must have been gods plan to mean something else so that can be explained away too.

If you believe in "The Moon" you are a white supremacist.

Do better, Arfcom.

The latest documentary series I've been reading indicates that the moon was placed by the Forerunners.

The moon rotates.

Hallow.

Lol.

Great post brother!

Rotation is a concept rooted in white supremacy

The cosmos is radiating transmissions. Life is a constant. Although you may not realize it, you are divine. Throughout history, humans have been interacting with the dreamtime via ultrasonic energy. Reality has always been beaming with mystics whose brains are engulfed in starfire. Who are we? Where on the great journey will we be recreated?

Yes, it is possible to shatter the things that can confront us, but not without spacetime on our side. Illusion is born in the gap where joy has been excluded. Where there is selfishness, conscious living cannot thrive. Awareness requires exploration. The goal of bio-electricity is to plant the seeds of potentiality rather than delusion. Empathy is the driver of starfire.

By evolving, we exist. Have you found your path? Being, look within and bless yourself. How should you navigate this authentic universe?

I'll bite:

Did you know that the orbit of the moon is in fact NOT completely circular?  There is a distinct periapsis and apoapsis.  It is for this reason that there are two distinct types of solar eclipses.  Annular solar eclipses take place when the moon is too far from the earth to block the entire disk.  Total solar eclipses are more rare and only take place when the moon is close enough to block the entire disk.  Partial eclipses happen at any distance and are common.

Did you know that the earth facing side of the moon is in fact NOT smooth and "glassy"?  The "seas" on the moon consist of scattered boulders, craters, rays, etc, and the kilometers upon square kilometers of lunar regolith is neither perfectly flat, nor particularly reflective.  Also, there are mountain ranges on the earth-facing side of the moon.  There are craters on the backside of the moon as well.  I believe there are actually more craters on the far side of the moon than on the near side, as it is thought by some that the "seas" are volcanic in origin, therefore the surface would be younger and less bombarded.  The moon "ablation" notion makes no sense in that context.

Did you know that most astronomers don't think the moon is a solid sphere, as most regard at least a part of the interior to be semi-solid or liquid?  Regardless, a solid sphere would actually "ring" longer than one that had a liquid interior.  Prolonged vibration, at least compared to the Earth suggests that the waves are propagating through a more solid body.  The crust of the moon can be studied and it's makeup determined within reason to be far too heavy, brittle and fractured to be self-supporting.  Also, the mass and density of the moon can be reasonably be determined by it gravitation and gravitational effects.  If the moon were hollow, it would not like up with the observational data.  The moon appears to have sustained some major impacts, all of which could have been quite problematic for a hollow sphere, not to mention the volcanism and seismic activity both present and past.

Did you know that the Earth is more geologically active than the moon?  It it's history, the Earth would have undergone many more transformations of the crust than the moon would have.  Therefore the accretion material that made up the moon and the earth would have survived longer on the moon than it ever would have on the Earth.  Also, the Earth is extremely dynamic thanks to it's thick atmosphere.  Any meteoroids which arrive on earth are rare and difficult to find.  I don't know how rare it is to find a meteoroid on the moon or the Earth which predates the solar accretion ring, but if such finds happen, it would likely happen on the moon where the surface is in a relative stasis.  Any arrival debris that was solid before the formation of the Earth and Moon would necessarily be older than the lunar surface, especially it's regolith.  Despite being very old, the lunar soil is not eternal.  Absent a future impact, the astronaut footprints will likely disappear in a couple million years.

As for the initial appearance of the moon coinciding with Noah's flood, I simply have no idea where that comes from.  I sat in Sunday School longer than most here and I missed any references to that.  In my opinion, any references to that are based on little more than interpretations of interpretations of symbolic language used to tell the story of Noah.  In fact in Genesis 1:16, it pretty much comes out and says that God created the moon on the 4th day.

If I've been trolled, then great job!

This is why NASA faked the Apollo moon landings; they couldn’t have the public finding out that the moon is hallow.

No, that’s retarded.

Doesn't matter.  What's important is that 12 white guys stabbed the fucker with 6 American flags.

Eat shit ya fucking commies.

Tidal lock, pretty much the same material.  It's a chunk of the early Earth.

Yes.  Placed there by God.

Or, you know, they just didn’t feel like drawing one that day.

Wait, did they say “damn, sure wish we had a moon up there!”

I hope you are joking.

Our moon does rotate.

Very nice!  I spent most of my formative years in church, Sunday school, Bible school, etc., so that background,  and not once in all that time was the topic of the moon appearing or rain commencing broached.   I never thought to consider such a thing.  So, when I heard that at one time there apparently was no moon,  I laughingly conveyed it to someone whom I consider a scholar and she immediately advised that there used to be no rain on earth prior to the flood.  The flood was the first rain.   So it all seemed to fit together and make sense.  Your comments are mostly fine-tuning the points I retrieved from memory on the whole subject.

What do you mean “you people”???

They aren't actually.  The oldest dated Earth rocks are about 4.3 billion years old, give or take.  The oldest moon rocks are about 4.4 billion years old, give or take a few hundred million years.  That's not billions.

Yes, absolutely it is enough to capture nearby objects.  It does this each and every day.

It didn't.  The moon's orbit is not circular.  It has an apoapsis of 405,400 km and a periapsis of 362,600 km.  The orbital eccentricity is a little more than .05.  It's noticeably NOT circular.

It's not.  The moon doesn't perfectly cover the sun.  At some orbital positions, during a solar eclipse the moon actually covers more than the entire disk of the sun.  More frequently it covers less than the entire disk of the sun.

Seriously, you would have learned more facts if you had asked your dog.

This thread was brought to you by, the Abeka company.

It doesn't rotate in 24 hours.  It rotates once with each revolution which takes about 27 days.  This behavior is consistent with close companion natural satellites.  It is actually extraordinarily common just in our own solar system.  It is actually aberrant captured satellites which do not do this.

I believe in God, so yes, it was placed there.

If you think the Earths moon is weird wait until you hear about Jupiter's moons

Its got so many fuckin moons we dont even know how many it for sure has

I guess Ive never really found Earth having a single moon that weird

'Blessed are the cheesemakers.'
What's so special about the cheesemakers?
Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

I have no dog.
