    It’s one of the wilder theories about the moon but like all the best ones it has its roots in some true details, even if they have been rather twisted to suit an agender. So in this episode, I thought we would look at how you can get to such a conclusion.

    the whole "gravity-negating crystal, people living in a hollow moon" thing sounded awfully familiar to me - because that's *precisely the plot for a soviet children's book I read as a kid*. "Dunno on the moon" or "Незнайка на Луне" was published in 1965 and is extremely similar in terms of plot, except inside the moon lived people pretty much identical to the ones on earth except with a late-stage capitalist society (as opposed to the commune the main characters lived in on earth).
    Neat coincidence I think. fascinating to see where old concepts can end up after a while

      Those samples taken werent from deep below the moons surface. Obviously a civilization with the ability to make a spaceship the size of the moon is gonna have the ability to produce seemingly natural rock. Besides that, explaining that its dry is an explanation, one of many, not a solidified truth as to why. We dont have any data for comparison, if we had two moons of equal size, how do you know that yes, the impact would vibrate more due to the dryness, but that it would possibly vibrate less than the moon were familiar with by a significant degree? People accept this guy and his explanation as fact when its merely spitballing and not concrete or disvalidating the conspiracy in an irrefutable manner. Acting high and mighty, there is only one truth! You use enough science terminology, you can bend the opinion of anybody to your view, and convince them that this is the real truth!!

    Since the seismic tests on the moon were in 1972 this is one of the few places calling it the Richter Scale is probably accurate, since the Moment Magnitude Scale didn't replace it till 1979 according to wikipedia.
    A Caveat: Although measurements are generally always taken in Moment Magnitude, sometimes people will convert it to the Richter Scale for distribution to the general public even though it's technically deprecated.

    Dude, you didn't need to waste time on a video, I could have just explained this for you. It's a little complicated, but hang with me: You have to begin in the US, in southern California, take a high-resolution photo of the moon. Then travel to Washington and take another one. Now you need to get to Texas, no matter which route you use, you should pass through at least 4 other states, you don't need a photo in each one but the more you have the better. At this point you may start to notice something about the photos, but resist the urge to examine them for now. This is where the trip gets really tricky, From Texas, hit Oklahoma, then you have a choice: hit every state to Florida, or every state to Maine.
    Now you can begin studying the photos. Look closely at the Sea of Tranquility and some of the smaller craters, notice how there is a tiny difference in shadow during different phases of the moon? See how even though YOU took every picture with your OWN camera, but somehow the moon is different colors in some of the pictures! And sometimes it's even freaking smaller!!! Lightbulbs in your house don't change size and color randomly, so WTF man???!!! Wait, wait... whose voice was that in your head just now... then you remember, it was that crazy sombich you met out west. Now that you think about it, you realize you've heard similar things from people in several states. This has to be a coincidense right? But what if that fat lady in Alabama was right and there's no such thing as coincidense? "Snap out of it, this is stupid!" you tell yourself, "what does she know, she misspelled coincidence twice!" But it's too late, the floodgate of your mind is open and you realize you've been trying to ignore a wave of beer-scented conversations you suffered nearly every time somebody saw you taking photos. A sudden understanding washes over you and you whisper to yourself, "Holy #%@&, people are &#$%ing stupid."
    Unfortunately, the seed of conspiracy is planted. However, you can protect yourself with a little self-medication and it's very easy. Simply pick up a book, flip to a random page and read it. Now think about what you just read, was it interesting, did you enjoy it? You see, most of those people can't read and the few who can often suffer physical pain from it. Sometimes the stupid can be bad enough that you may need to read multiple pages, or a whole chapter. I paid attention to politics once, jesus, I had to read an entire book... if only Sam knew the value those eggs would have today.

    Great video! Strangely this is not the first video about this subject I've seen recently. There was another which goes a bit deeper from a channel called The Why Files. It's a channel which is broken into two halves where he first explains the conspiracy and then tries to debunk it. In this case though he couldn't actually disprove the conspiracy and actually ended up with more questions than answers. Like the explanations for how the moon actually came to orbit the earth in the first place. The accepted collision theory according to him doesn't make sense as both the earth and the moon don't share any of the same geology. In fact the rocks and matter collected on the moon are older than anything on earth. It is fascinating, but still... no I don't think the earth is hollow or an alien structure.

    • @ArmchairMagpie
      @ArmchairMagpie Год назад +1

      It could be that “making sense” isn't a criterion in science. Water having the highest density at 4 °C doesn't make sense either. Until you go deeper. Often a lack of understanding, knowledge or poor deduction skills can lead you to a path of confusion where the only way out is forming a narrative that removes it, whatever it takes, so it subjectively starts making sense. Many Pop Sci channels are prone to walking that path, so your eyes remain well-oiled from the constant rolling.
      The ages are different because the moon is basically just a big chunk of rock that only had to deal with impacts after its creation, whereas Earth has tectonic plates, which act as recyclers even today, water, and erosion forces. It's entirely possible that if you could dig deeper into the Earth, you would also find ancient matter. When solid bodies cool, the more heavy elements sink first and the lithophile element stick to the top, then there are also siderophile elements like tungsten.

    So, what is the explanation for the shallow larger craters? Why the comrades noted it isn't really important, if it's genuinely anomalous. Also, have we found anything close to the our Moon yet anywhere else in terms of all the size-distance ratios or the fullness of eclipses? If a moon like ours is important for the stabilization of biosphere, for example, an advanced alien civilization could have built it for that purpose (and made it look like a natural object) or nudged it into its orbit as part of some sort of terraforming operation.
