I agree with that statement. And as far as these measurements go, We are talking about such astronomically small variations by the day that it translates into such small values over time that I think it is safe to say the margin of error based on the methods of measurement themselves could account for most if not all the difference in distance. Honestly people. Several inches over millions if not billions of years? How can you calculate that so precisely when the physical boundaries of the measurement are sketchy at best. All we can say for certain is that The moon at 1 point was an exo planet that smashed into earth so the starting distance if you wanted to put a number on it was "0". At this point the debris blown out of the atmosphere at the time was trapped by earths gravity and formed the moon. We do know at the time that the moon was indeed much closer to the earth than it is now but to say how far it moved from us based on its orbit and time is hard to truly be accurate because of the period known as the late bombardment when the moon acted as a giant meteor shield and got blasted repeatedly by debris leftover from the birth of the planetary system. This is just getting downright ridiculous. Trying to put mathematical values on the slightest variations in distance over billions of years when we can not fit the unpredictable variables into the model.

Wow dude, that is a lot of reading in one sentence You gotta try to put it all out seperate in different sentences or like topics, this is not a novel writting its supposed to be science so simplicity and organization are required as often as possible for better comprehension.

But yea you said some correct stuff.. however there is no certainty at all in anything when you talk about billions of years.

So again, this thread is pointless and full of false affirmations without any solid evidences unless from what we got in the past say 5 thousand years (if that).
And 5 thousand of years of data in a range of billions of years is like even considered as a joke to take conclusions upon and guess the future.

What a thread of novels and csb.

lol yea even with a slider for a keyboard on my phone I tend to not care to lay my post out properly much less care about my grammar as I prefer engrish over english to start with But yea very true. this thread is fubar!

Oh and it was more like 1 paragraph not 1 sentence. I used punctuation hehehe

ahah I used to do the same when I first got my phone Id be carried and just type the hell out for 4 or 5 lines straight lol

lol nice guys..

i was watching the science channel.. figured id ask a question

can we make it to 60?
Bump

best channel ever
