There is light from the sun,
spotlight sun is at the same height as the moon, and since it's a spotlight, it can't get to it.
It is *roughly* the same height. It is further away as evidenced by the solar eclipse.
OK, and the moon gets energy from there, but it's just light.
reflected light from the earth.
how is this absorbed and turned into light? also explain how they achieve such high efficiencies.
Flourescence? Biochemical processes?
how? explain how thy got to such high efficiencies.
There are obvious scars from previous impacts with stellar ejecta perhaps accounting for an increase in mass.
but not current impacts? we don't see regular impacts on the moon
We don't see half the moon (the far side) at any time. It's the side most likely to be in contact with stellar ejecta/meteoric material.
the moon craters would change shape, however, it does not. Also, the meteors would be held up by the UA and never hit the moon unless they are aligned perpendicular to the UA, or collide.
There may be internal heat or energy
still violates conservation of energy
Only if someone is implying the moon will eternally produce light based only on the radiant energy of it's core.
I'm glad that you agree with me.
absorbed by the solar wind ionization being re-flouresced as visible light.
spotlight sun. same height as moon
The Northern lights are frequently visible when the moon is above. Ergo the moon is able to moving through these ionized particles.
just photons, not enough
Also, one more thing. The shrimp reproduce, and the dead ones fall to the earth, according to another FE'er
As much as the idea of "moon shrimp" falling to the earth makes me smile, I don't think I take Thork's assertion seriously.
therefore, there would be trillions of dead bodies on the moon, where would they go? they can't just stay on the moon, as it would get noticeably bigger.
Why do you say lunar sonoluminescent shrimp-like creatures are impossible onthe moon when we have them here on earth? Bot earth and the moon are not clossed systems. You simply have a double standard that is inhibiting you from thinking scientific-like.
The earth is much bigger than the moon, and the earth does not drop large masses of material onto the moon.
There's also the problem of reproducing, and since that involves creating new mass, light is just not enough, as photons have nearly no mass. We also have moon rocks falling to earth, so why is it that you don't take Thork seriously? They could be the dead bodies! Moon rocks are also in the hands of private collectors, and displayed in museums. They have also been stolen many times, surely someone would have noticed shrimp-like creatures on the rock. They can't be all faked, as the meteorite team found them in antarctica, and a geologist confirmed that it comes from the moon (source:
