0:00.0 | Despite it being humanity's constant companion through all of recorded time the moon is still a mystery |
0:06.9 | science has been unable to explain how the moon was formed its unusual orbit |
0:11.8 | its distance from us. It's density, composition, or structure. |
0:16.0 | These are all still questions. |
0:18.0 | Now there are theories about the moon that may answer some of these questions, |
0:22.0 | but they don't answer all of them. |
0:24.6 | There's only one theory that answers every scientific question about the moon, just one. |
0:30.1 | The moon is a hollow artificial structure brought here by someone else. |
0:35.0 | The moon is an alien spaceship. Let's start at the beginning. We're taught that the moon has been here forever, |
0:49.0 | but there's controversy about this because scientists don't agree on how the moon was formed. |
0:55.2 | The first theory of how the moon became linked to the Earth is the capture theory. |
0:59.6 | It says the moon was just floating along, drifted near the Earth, and was pulled into orbit. |
1:05.0 | This is almost impossible. |
1:07.1 | The gravitational forces needed to capture an object as big as the Moon would have to be immense and precise. |
1:14.1 | Another explanation is the accretion theory, |
1:16.8 | which states that the moon and Earth formed out of dust clouds |
1:20.1 | in the early solar system. |
1:22.0 | But when systems formed through accretion, they share similar |
1:25.2 | traits. If the moon were formed this way, it would have an iron core like the Earth. It would |
1:30.6 | spin on an axis like the Earth, but neither of these is true. |
1:35.0 | The Thission hypothesis was popular for a while. |
1:38.0 | It states that the early Earth was spinning so fast |
