The moon

[Saint_Ann]

We already know the moon isn’t hollow

We’ve known for over 50 years.

We don't even know for sure what the center of the earth looks like. There are theories.

I guess you don't believe the data scientists gathered on that subject. Science denier. Lol.

The science that doesn't suggest that the.moon is hollow or disprove our understanding of the satellite?

It's a molten lava core with iron and nickel center.
We don't have photos because it's a little hot, but we know what it likely looks like as the material has been photographed elsewhere. And we know the physical properties.

They just know what was observed. They have theories why.

They are theories unless you've actually been there.

They know what the moon is made of. No observation or measurement has changed the accepted scientific theories.

They have taken core samples?

Science can be difficult.

Obviously we don't know anything except that god exists......lol

 

[ll74]

They have taken core samples?

It's made of Iron and Nickel. They don't need to take core samples to determine that.

She put the moon there for some reason.

 

[ll74]

She put the moon there for some reason.

Of course they did

The Moon landings were real. Kubrick was not capable of faking them.

Did Ronald Reagan actually exist or was his Presidency just an elaborate hoax?

I never saw him in person. He went to college around here. I've seen pictures. Lol. The atom used to be considered the smallest particle of matter.

The science says the moon is solid all the way through. It “rang” because it doesn’t have a molten core or oceans to dampen the vibrations.

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

The moon’s gravity is 1/6 that of earth which consistent with it being solid all the way through. I’m curious how the hollow moon theorists account for the moon’s gravity being so high.

I think you just say that it's hollow and so then it is

And also throw things in there about how theories aren't facts and such.

Probably.

 

[ll74]

Probably.

Definitely. There's this thing called math. Try it sometime.

It's more definitive than a god putting it there.

The physics that keeps the one side of the moon facing the earth as it rotates on its axis and as it revolves around the earth as they both orbit the sun seems remarkable to me, tho science says no. It just took millions of years to achieve.

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

The Moon is less dense than the Earth which is consistent with it having been formed by a massive collision in the early solar system. Earth’s heavy nickel-icon core survived the impact, while the “splash” of lighter rocks coalesced into the Moon and Earth’s crust.

The science says the moon is solid all the way through. It “rang” because it doesn’t have a molten core or oceans to dampen the vibrations.

Another neat REAL SCIENCE FACT: For objects like the moon to achieve a nice round shape, they must have enough mass / gravity to form into that shape. A “hollow moon” would not allow for that.



(Oh yeah, I forgot: “The moon is actually a mega-structure built by a race of super-technologically advanced aliens about 4.5 billion years ago…” - undoubtedly the ancestors of Elon Musk…)

The Moon is tidally locked to Earth. Physics explains how it happened. The moon was initially rotating when it was formed by a massive collision billions of years ago, but over time the Earth’s tug on the “near” side was stronger (because it was closer) and that drag slowed the rotation to a stop.

The moon actually rotates.

Yes, the Moon does rotate, but it rotates at the same rate that it orbits the Earth, which is why we always see the same side facing us. This phenomenon is known as synchronous rotation.

A structurally a hollow moon can be modeled as two 2000-mile diameter domes stuck together.

No material exists to build a dome that big, even with 1/6 earth gravity. Positing a hollow moon quickly leads you off into an engineering fantasyland.
