, I have found several strange facts about the moon. Some scientists say that those facts couldn't be occurrence of natural celestial body arrangements and are pointing to possibility of moon as being an artificial body. As with everything in science, those scientist could be wrong, but if they are correct, who do you think would be responsible for positioning the moon where it is?
1. Moon’s Age: The moon is
far older than previously expected. Maybe even older than the
Earth or the Sun. The oldest age for the Earth is estimated to
be 4.6 billion years old; moon rocks were dated at 5.3 billion
years old, and the dust upon which they were resting was at
least another billion years older.
2. Rock’s Origin: The
chemical composition of the dust upon which the rocks sat
differed remarkably from the rocks themselves, contrary to
accepted theories that the dust resulted from weathering and
breakup of the rocks themselves. The rocks had to have come from
somewhere else.
3. Heavier Elements on Surface:
Normal planetary composition results in heavier elements in the
core and lighter materials at the surface; not so with the moon.
According to Wilson,
"The abundance of refractory
elements like titanium in the surface areas is so pronounced
that several geologists proposed the refractory compounds
were brought to the moon’s surface in great quantity in some
unknown way. They don’t know how, but that it was done
cannot be questioned."
4. Water Vapor: On March 7,
1971, lunar instruments placed by the astronauts recorded a
vapor cloud of water passing across the surface of the moon. The
cloud lasted 14 hours and covered an area of about 100 square
miles.
5. Magnetic Rocks: Moon rocks were magnetized. This is
odd because there is no magnetic field on the moon itself. This
could not have originated from a "close call" with Earth—such an
encounter would have ripped the moon apart.
6. No Volcanoes: Some of the moon’s craters originated
internally, yet there is no indication that the moon was ever
hot enough to produce volcanic eruptions.
7. Moon Mascons: Mascons, which are large, dense,
circular masses lying twenty to forty miles beneath the centers
of the moon’s maria,
"are broad, disk-shaped objects that could
be possibly some kind of artificial construction. For huge
circular disks are not likely to be beneath each huge maria,
centered like bull’s-eyes in the middle of each, by coincidence
or accident."
8. Seismic Activity: Hundreds of "moonquakes" are
recorded each year that cannot be attributed to meteor strikes.
In November, 1958, Soviet astronomer Nikolay A. Kozyrev of the
Crimean Astrophysical Observatory photographed a gaseous
eruption of the moon near the crater Alphonsus. He also detected
a reddish glow that lasted for about an hour. In 1963,
astronomers at the Lowell Observatory also saw reddish glows on
the crests of ridges in the Aristarchus region. These
observations have proved to be precisely identical and
periodical, repeating themselves as the moon moves closer to the
Earth. These are probably not natural phenomena.
9. Hollow Moon: The moon’s mean density is 3.34 gm/cm3
(3.34 times an equal volume of water) whereas the Earth’s is
5.5. What does this mean? In 1962, NASA scientist Dr. Gordon
MacDonald stated,
"If the astronomical data are reduced, it is
found that the data require that the interior of the moon is
more like a hollow than a homogeneous sphere."
Nobel chemist Dr.
Harold Urey suggested the moon’s reduced density is because of
large areas inside the moon where is "simply a cavity."
MIT’s Dr. Sean C. Solomon wrote,
"the Lunar Orbiter experiments vastly
improved our knowledge of the moon’s gravitational field...
indicating the frightening possibility that the moon might be
hollow."
In Carl Sagan’s treatise, Intelligent Life in the
Universe, the famous astronomer stated, "A natural satellite
cannot be a hollow object."
10. Moon Echoes: On November 20, 1969, the Apollo 12 crew
jettisoned the lunar module ascent stage causing it to crash
onto the moon. The LM’s impact (about 40 miles from the Apollo
12 landing site) created an artificial moonquake with startling
characteristics—the moon reverberated like a bell for more than
an hour.
This phenomenon was repeated with Apollo 13
(intentionally commanding the third stage to impact the moon),
with even more startling results. Seismic instruments recorded
that the reverberations lasted for three hours and twenty
minutes and traveled to a depth of twenty-five miles, leading to
the conclusion that the moon has an unusually light—or even
no—core.
11. Unusual Metals: The moon’s crust is much harder than
presumed. Remember the extreme difficulty the astronauts
encountered when they tried to drill into the maria? Surprise!
The maria is composed primarily illeminite, a mineral containing
large amounts of titanium, the same metal used to fabricate the
hulls of deep-diving submarines and the skin of the SR-71
"Blackbird". Uranium 236 and neptunium 237 (elements not found
in nature on Earth) were discovered in lunar rocks, as were
rustproof iron particles.
12. Moon’s Origin: Before the astronauts’ moon rocks
conclusively disproved the theory, the moon was believed to have
originated when a chunk of Earth broke off eons ago (who knows
from where?). Another theory was that the moon was created from
leftover "space dust" remaining after the Earth was created.
Analysis of the composition of moon rocks disproved this theory
also.
Another popular theory is that the moon was somehow
"captured" by the Earth’s gravitational attraction. But no
evidence exists to support this theory. Isaac Asimov, stated,
"It’s too big to have been captured by the Earth. The chances of
such a capture having been effected and the moon then having
taken up nearly circular orbit around our Earth are too small to
make such an eventuality credible."
13. Weird Orbit: Our moon is the only moon in the solar
system that has a stationary, near-perfect circular orbit.
Stranger still, the moon’s center of mass is about 6000 feet
closer to the Earth than its geometric center (which should
cause wobbling), but the moon’s bulge is on the far side of the
moon, away from the Earth. "Something" had to put the moon in
orbit with its precise altitude, course, and speed.
14. Moon Diameter: How does one explain the "coincidence"
that the moon is just the right distance, coupled with just the
right diameter, to completely cover the sun during an eclipse?
Again, Isaac Asimov responds,
"There is no astronomical reason
why the moon and the sun should fit so well. It is the sheerest
of coincidences, and only the Earth among all the planets is
blessed in this fashion."
15. Spaceship Moon: As outrageous as the
Moon-Is-a-Spaceship Theory is, all of the above items are
resolved if one assumes that the moon is a gigantic
extraterrestrial craft, brought here eons ago by intelligent
beings. This is the only theory that is supported by all of the
data, and there are no data that contradict this theory.
This video below doesn't discuss moon specifically, but Dr. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist and co-founder of string field
theory, a branch of superstring theory, speaks about 3 types of
Extraterrestrial Civilizations. He mention that there are civilizations which can manipulate planets and obtain energy from stars. Could be moon positioned as earth satellite by one of those civilizations?
