So does arfcom attract these 2021 nuts or are the 2021 plants to make arfcom seem nutty?

Quoted: Interestingly enough I just watched recently a 'documentary' titled 'Alien Moon', where the premise is that the moon is not a natural satellite and is in fact hollow. I am told it is in a perfectly circular orbit, not typical, and when moves over the sun in the perfect size and distance to create a total eclipse. The earth facing side is smooth and glassy, distinguishing it's character from the back side, for the most part, indicating this was the front, leading edge as it travelled from its distant origin into earth orbit. Also the moon's appearance coincided biblically with Noah's flood, prior to which the earth had never experienced rain. This latter part I confirmed with a biblical scholar. (Prior to that the earth was shrouded in a cloak of water vapor). Moonquakes - Finally it has been reported numerous times, including by those astronauts who've been there, while they've been there that the moon vibrates for a time after a seismic event and once was reported to 'ring like a bell'. The aftershocks of a quake far exceed, in duration, what would be normal for a solid sphere. Did it originate as a part of the earth? Moonrocks have been found that are much older than the oldest found on Earth, and older than the moondust upon which they are found, so not possible according to that,. Could this explain the origin of all the so-called UFO's? Do they originate from the moon's interior? Let me know if you have questions. View Quote First, the moon's orbit isn't perfectly circular - it is elliptical, with minimum and maximum distances of 363,396 and 405,504 km respectively. The moon's orbit around Earth is actually more eccentric than Earth's orbit around the Sun. The side facing Earth isn't all that smooth or glassy - did you see the images from the Apollo missions? There are hills, mountains, and craters, and much of it is covered in a couple inches of dust. There IS a difference between the side facing the Earth and the opposite side (there are large areas of volcanic lava which have formed plains on the near side, for instance), and the current scientific theory is that this was due to small planetoid, (one much smaller than the one believed to have hit the Earth and formed the moon) that hit the near side of the moon at a relatively low velocity early in the history of the solar system. The moon isn't a solid, homogenous sphere any more than the Earth is, but that doesn't make it hollow. The various strata in the mantle are somewhat different than those of Earth, but in both cases they cause vibrations (seismic waves) to travel in a manner that is very different from that of a simple solid sphere. If the theory of a planetoid impact are correct, one would also expect those strata to be disrupted over a large area, changing the properties of how the moon vibrates as well. None of the observed properties of moon quakes gives any indication that the moon is hollow. Next, your "biblical scholar" may have skipped the first part of the bible, as the moon is mentioned in Genesis chapter 1 as "the lesser light to govern the night" created on the fourth day. I do believe that the flood took place somewhat later than the first week of creation, but hey, I'm not a biblical scholar- just some guy who can read a book. You would expect moon rocks to be older than those normally found on Earth, given that the surface of the Earth is continuously "recycled," while the moon has not had significant surface activity in a very long time. I have seen no scientific study of moon dust which attempted to determine an age (moon dust is continuously created due to meteorite bombardment, and is a mixture of pulverized moon rock and the remains of meteorites).

Mike You don't even need imagery. Just look at the moon sometime. Use a riflescope if you have one handy. But even if you don't, the naked eye clearly shows a nonhomogeneous surface. |

I think it was placed there by a loving God who knew we needed tides in order to create this beautiful utopian planet that we need to survive. JK it randomly fucking happened

Quoted: it seems like the moon was created when another protoplanet collided with the earth. it's slowly floating away which won't be good for life on earth View Quote The moon won't ever escape Earth's gravity, though you are correct that in the long run its ascent will probably not be good for life as we know it. The moon is increasing its distance from Earth via tidal forces - the moon is dragging on the Earth's rotation and in return the Earth is transferring momentum to the Moon. There is not enough momentum in the system to give the moon enough of a boost to escape, however. Rather, at some point (estimated at around 50 Billion years from now, barring interruptions such as the transformation of the Sun into a red giant) the tidal force will have slowed the Earth's rotation so far that its rotation is the same as the moon's orbit. In other words, the Earth will become tidelocked to the moon in the same way that the moon is now tidelocked to the Earth. At that point, the Earth will no longer drag the moon along in its orbit and the two will reach a steady state. At that time, both a lunar month (the time for the moon to orbit the Earth), and a solar day will be approximately 47 days (today's days, that is 47x24 hours) long. If someone is worried about climate change now, imagine what 23 days of the sun being up continuously, followed by a night just as long, will do to the weekly temperature swing... Mike |

Quoted: Um ............ the sun's life expectancy is only another 5 billion years, so 45 billion years after that, the sun will be a cooling white dwarf, and the earth will probably have been vaporized during the red-giant phase of the sun's life.

Why does every other planets moon or moons have fancy ass names and ours is just the moon?

There is compelling evidence that an impact with a mars-like planet on the Earth caused the creation of the moon.

Quoted: 1/4th the size, 1/80th the mass View Quote As the radius increases, a sphere increases it's volume by a lot more than the increase in radius. The radius of the moon is 1,738km, and the radius of the earth is 6,378km. That works out to roughly 50 times heavier, but about 3.7 times larger in diameter (also radius). Now, the moon is indeed less dense than the earth. About .6 times as dense. Planetary bodies all have varying densities due to their varying masses and compositions. The moon has less mass than the earth, so all things being equal, should be less dense. Gravity isn't crushing the core of the moon nearly as much as the core of the earth. Also, during the formation of the liquid earth, heavier metals sink to the core, leaving the lighter materials to "float". Have you ever had a sugary drink with ice in it? After a certain amount of time, the ice will melt and the water will float over the sugary drink. Sugar solutions are denser than water so they sink. If you took a random sample from the bottom of the glass, it would be more dense than a sample taken from the top of the glass. The moon is hypothesized to have formed from an oblique collision with another body. It stands to reason that the material ejected from earth would be lighter components, and the heavier ones would remain in the core of the earth. Just like if you had a drink that separated a bit over time, a small splash out of it would be more water as a percentage than syrup. In the case of the moon, the rock ejected and coalesced is .6 times as dense as the earth, which includes a lot of heavy metals in its core. Therefore the apparent problem that you are seeing does in fact make a lot of sense. 50 times heavier divided by .6 as dense, equals 83 times heavier. Edited because the Pi character doesn't show up in the post. |

lol. The moon varies by about 42,800 km, so it would have to be a bungee cord with more than 10% flex. Also the earth rotates, so the anchor would have to travel about a thousand miles an hour in the plane of the moons orbit.

Quoted: There are tribes in Africa with cave paintings and stories passed down generations that spoke of a time before we had a moon. The timeline of the moon appearing relates to the Biblical Flood. Interestingly Fascinating. Also, its been proving that given its orbit, mass, and location in relation to the earth. The moon is hallow. Finally, all celestial objects, moons, planets, rotate except for our moon. We have also found other "moons" in our solar system that do not rotate but are in a satellite orbit similar to our moon. Hidden in plan sight. View Quote Well, the moon does rotate, it's just that it rotates in sync with its orbit. This is called tidal locked. Many other moons in our solar system are tidal locked. The interesting thing to me is, given the size of the moon and the Earth, most like we didnt just "capture" the moon like more massive planets. Also, without our moon the Earth stood a good chance of being tidal locked to the sun by now. A collision could have imparted an optimal amount of rotation to the Earth. |

Quoted: Not carbon dating, but the same idea, radiometric age dating gives ages for moon rocks that range from about 3.16 billion years old for the basaltic samples derived from the lunar maria, up to about 4.44 billion years old for rocks derived from the highlands. In 1999, the oldest known rock on Earth was dated to 4.031 ±0.003 billion years, and is part of the Acasta Gneiss of the Slave craton in northwestern Canada. Earth’s oldest zircons – aged about 4.4 billion years found in the Jack Hills in Western Australia – they predate the first recorded rocks on Earth, estimated to be 3.9 billion years old. So 4.4 billion year old zircon crystals likely originated in the event that formed the moon. Because of plate tectonics the earth's crust is constantly being recycled so the majority of what you can put your hands on is much much newer. View Quote I want some zircon encrusted tweezers. |
