“Researchers have revealed...” UH-HUH. Like they know. It’s just publish or perish. Any wild theory will do.

Well, that’s a relief.

so that’s why the moon is all green cheese

We didn’t have oceans then, but we have them now. I often wonder how all the water got here, and is it still coming? Is that why the sea level is rising?

Interesting post SunkenCiv. Thanks.

The fact is, we really don’t know for sure how the moon formed. Another mystery is how so much water ended up on earth.

Bull stuffing.

Mare Crisium is 555 km (345 mi) in diameter,[1] and 176,000 square kilometres (68,000 sq mi) in area.

List of US States By Size
17 North Dakota 68,976
18 Missouri 68,886
19 Oklahoma 68,667

Mare Crisium - #8

Does that give you a proportional perspective?

Guess the original moon theory is no longer settled science. Sorta like AGW or Artic losing all ice or Antartica ice diminishing or like the new Ice Age, or Alcar scare, or Ozone depletion, or population explosion eradicating humanity, or nature vs nurture, Pluto being a planet, or string theory or ?????

Sheesh, I have come to believe that modern scientists are not they're all cracked up to be. I question so much that "scientists" theorize. Funny how Copernicus and Newton and others were correct in their theories. Every time I watch Sheldon as a theoretical physicist with his white board on "Big Bang", I chuckle. Hey, how about that Haldron collider that didn't prove squat?

[Secret Agent Man]

In other words, speculating “scientists” still don’t know.

Basicaly that is all todays science is reduced to, as it can easily reverse itself given enough time and new findings.

[Rebelbase]

So, this was sometime within the past 6000 years?

[plain talk]

It seems the moon could have formed like the Earth formed. The Moon could have aggregated into what it is and gotten close enough for Earth’s gravity to capture it. I don’t understand why a grand collision had to necessarily take place to produce the Moon.

One of many “Theories”....and that is all it is!!!
