The dark side of the moon
« on: September 15, 2007, 02:27:36 AM »
Is it not true, that the one side of the moon is always facing the earth? Is it not also true, that the earth has a strong gravity hold on the moon? Is it not also true, that the Sun has a huge gravity force holding the earth? Does this not make it conclusive, that based on the moon alone; the flat earth theory is wrong? Or is the moon not actually there? Just a projection in the sky from NASA, the IRS, or Australia?

Wrong album.

And I have no idea why you think this disproves the FE theory.  The moon/sun don't have gravitational influence on the earth (except in the odd argument).

Actually, it's not true that one side of the moon always faces Earth. For some people it looks like this, and for others it looks like this. Is the moon trying to be sneaky and trick us on its own? Or is The Conspiracy paying the moon off with the buttloads of money it makes each year to confuse everyone? This question needs an answer badly.

omg rly? 

YEA RLY

It is still the same band, though, right?  ???

Yes


and the problem with your clearly correct argument is that the sun and moon are both 32 miles in diameter, 3000miles above the earth, and gravity doesnt extist...no really, this is what they believe, if im lying im diein
No problem solved in the least--and you only had to eliminate an entire continent to fail to accomplish it.

"Is it not true, that the one side of the moon is always facing the earth? Is it not also true, that the earth has a strong gravity hold on the moon?"

Yes and Yes (well sufficient)
The moon is still rotating  its just that its Rotational period  is  27.32166 days and its Orbital period is  27.32166 days. This is due a a process called Tidal lock. This means that even though the moon is rotating we on Earth only see one side of the Moon.
As a side issue the earth will eventually become tidal locked with the moon also. Then from the Moon only one side of the Earth will be observable.

And the moon is drifting away from us. Eventually it will leave orbit and destabilize our axis. Can you say end of the world?

Yes and No, the Moon's drift to a larger orbit will stabilize at a distance 1.6 times its current. That will be in about  15 billion years. Trouble is the Sun will have evolved  into a "Red Giant" in abbout 5 billion years (spelling the end of both Earth and Moon)

Yeah, but leaving it's orbit isn't completely necessary. Just drifting far enough away should allow our tilt to change enough to cause droughts floods ice ages, you name it we'll be fucked by it.

Those are consequences but they are only catastrophic if the biology of Earth cant adapt quick enough.The time frame we are talking about is 3 times the age of the Earth and 4 times the age of life on Earth, I would think this slow enough for life to adapt and history appears to support that view.
But I do agree with you there is a finite amount of time for our species to inhabit Earth.

I can't tell you how refreshed I am to see someone else on this forum who understands tidal evolution.
