With all of this global warming doomsday stuff going on. I would like to kindly remind you that us as humans face greater doomsday situations. Since someone brought up the moon, I would like to remind you of a few facts:
1. The earth rotates on Axis because of the gravity of the moon.
2. The moon is moving away from the earth at roughly 1 foot every earth year.
3. Someday the moon will be far enough away from the earth that the earth will not rotate on axis.
4. The earths poles have changed numerous times in the past.
5. If the earth is not rotating on axis the surface will not be habitable for any length of time for humans.
Yes moon is moving away 3.8cm (about 1.5 inches) per year. Also moon completely leaving earths orbit wouldn´t stop earth from rotating actually it would make earth rotate faster because atm moon is actually slowing down earth´s roration. And finally if it wasn´t clear enough yet moon doesn´t cause earth´s rotation. Here´s why planets rotate:
"All planetary and stellar systems are born from the collapse of dense interstellar clouds. The clouds may originally be very large (even thousands of light years across). Consider a portion of the cloud the collapses from a size of a light year or so to the size of the solar system. That is a huge change in the size of the system. So, the very slight rotation that the cloud has in the beginning is increased dramatically when the collapse takes place. In fact, this is one of the barriers in star formation: there is excess angular momentum and there has to be a way of losing angular momentum before you can form a star."
Here´s a good website hosted by Cornell University for actual facts about common space realated questions: http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/index.php
But I find it intreaguing that the earth has changed poles in the past. The example I saw was that previously north america used to be the location of a previous north pole. Wich also means the ice sheets move according to the pole.
But, the earth changing its rotation seems like a much more serious concern than a degree or two average global change.
Hah, also there are two asteroids that have a possibility of colliding with the earth in the next 30 years. Did you even know there is a government funded project to launch 2 space vehicles at one of the asteroids? (maybe thats where the movies came from)
actually the russians went but they're radio malfunctioned. it's al in the secret file AI-128AL483157X234HIL4897WW124Q8. unfortuantly this file got lost in the sovjet bureaucracy
The most important part of reading is reading between the lines.
Edit: The earth is the closest thing to a binary system in our solar system. Most theories admit the earth and the moon are from he same matter. Both formed during creation or due to some cataclysmic event that cause the moons mass to seperate from the earth. In any case, there is no example of a planet with a satelite so close in mass as our planet. So we can only enjoy the life we have while the moon is with us.
This reminds me of when that guy that walked up to Neil Armstrong and told him that he didn't walk on the moon. Then Neil punched him in the face. That pretty much convinced me that it wasn't fake. You are insulting their accomplishments.
Heh, I normally hate people who think the moon landing was fake, but that was a funny video
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
$30 Billion for that crap? Must've been very expensive actors in that movie.
The moon is so baffling to astronomers that it is in a class of its own as far as natural satelites go...Normally you have regular satelites, collision fragments, and captured asteroids (with the vast majority of satelites being regulars) but the moon is in a completely different class, nobody really knows where it came from. Like you said though, the most common "explanation" is that a mars sized object collided with the Earth several billion years ago.
As you might expect, I don't accept that theory at all...Funny how they wave the magical "collision" wand over anything that doesn't make sense to them...Mercury is too dense: Musta hit something a long time ago
Uranus and venus are both in retrograde motion: Both of them must have hit something a long time ago
Uranus' axis is completely off kilter...maybe it got hit twice, or both things happened in one hit
Mars' atmosphere is too thin: Musta got hit by something!
It's a very convenient theory to throw out there, and then make sure everyone knows "oh when the solar system was first forming it was very violent, so it's really not all that outlandish! GIve me a break.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
