Antimoon

Q: "What about Lunar Eclipses and Moon Phases?"

A: An undetectable celestial body, known as the antimoon, passes between the sun and moon. This projects a shadow upon the moon.

Someone please explain how something interacting with visible light is undetectable?

Jees, it's kind of obvious.
Magic of course.

Ninja's interact with visible light and they are undetectable.  As for the explanation of how they do it?  If I knew I would already be dead.

It isn't undetectable. It is detected every time there is a Lunar Eclipse.

Wow, FE canon has changed a lot since I last debated it regularly. Whatever happened to the Shadow Object?

"Shadow Object" is a layman's term used to describe what is known in science as the Antimoon. It is a functional characterisation of the Antimoon.

You're forgetting that different FE'ers have very different FE models.

But my impression of the Antimoon has always been an object underneath the Flat Earth that balances the tides. This couldn't possibly serve the same function as the Shadow Object.

That notion, pioneered by my colleague John Davis, is known as the Submoon.

Alright, thanks for the clarification.

Any chance of seeing this theory you have for this submoon? I'd love to learn more about it.

I don't believe in the Submoon.

OK well the question hasn't been answered at all.

Heres your theory

The antimoon is undetectable. BUT! When it passes between the Earth and the Moon, it suddenly starts blocking out visible light.

Hm...... I think a more plausible theory is that the moon is made of cheese and a giant mouse eats it. But he realises its past its sell by date and spits it out.

I don't believe in the Submoon.

How are the tides formed then? The antimoon / dark moon / sub moon seems to be the accepted opinion here. I wonder what new evidence you have...

New evidence? Don't you mean any evidence?

It basically a mathematic model that takes what we know of tidal movements on a globular model and translates them to a more accurate planar one with the use of a second body below the surface of the earth.

Its nothing special - do the conversions yourself or wait for the paper (yes its a long time coming.  stop bitching - I have a life.)
