The Moon Ain't Dead by Dr. Peter Schultz
A presentation hosted by Skyscrapers, Inc.
Saturday, August 10, 2024
Results of the Apollo missions seemed to indicate that the Moon died more than 3.2 billion years ago. As a graduate student more than 50 years ago, however, I recognized features on the Moon that were inconsistent with this widely held conclusion. First, I found and mapped peculiar ring moats and domes that were much too small to have survived 3 billions years of impact erosion. Based on detailed crater statistics, I was able to show that some mare regions were active as recently as 800 million years ago, not 3.2 billion. Second, there were narrow (only 10’s meters across) sinuous ridges (often called mare ridges), scarps, and cracks that crossed small craters and many of the ridges extended across the cratered highlands, well away from the maria. And third, there were irregular rugged patches surrounded by near-vertical cliffs only several meters high in the middle of the lunar maria. These observations not only indicated that volcanic activity extended much longer than the Apollo samples indicated but also may be ongoing. While others noted these features, they did not recognize (or ignored) their significance as evidence of a Moon that had not yet stopped creaking and cracking. Instead, such features were simply anomalous, i.e., unimportant. In fact, anyone who suggested otherwise was considered to be…should I say…a lunatic. These features are now being rediscovered, not only due to the much broader coverage of the lunar surface at high resolution but also because of the new context…. going back after five decades.
Peter Schultz's research focuses on impact cratering processes as revealed by laboratory impact experiments, the planetary surface record, and terrestrial ground truth. His laboratory research has covered a wide range of topics: atmospheric effects on ejecta emplacement, impactor survival, secondary impact processes, antipodal shock effects, high-speed spectroscopy of impact vapor/plasma, impact angle effects (shock propagation, vaporization, target damage, and flow-field evolution), projectile fate after impacts, and crater-scaling relations. Of particular recent interest has addressed the origin of fluidized ejecta and blast winds around craters on Mars. Such basic research led to participation in numerous NASA planetary missions including Magellan, Deep Impact, Stardust-NExT, EPOXI, and LCROSS. He cut his teeth, so to speak, on basic lunar research: floor-fractured craters, beginning/end of volcanism, lunar swirl generation, polar volatile evolution, assessment of the size of impactors, evidence for ongoing lunar tectonic activity, and what caused the difference between the lunar nearside and farside. The last study proposed that a giant impact on the far side actually caused the concentration of maria on the nearside, i.e., the Man in the Moon. On Earth, his research has included the discovery of 8 impacts in Argentina, documentation of a witnessed crater-forming impact in Peru in 2007, and studying the effects of a giant cometary airblast across the Atacama Desert, Chile only about 11,500 years ago. He has published more than 200 papers and authored a book called Moon Morphology. Most recently, he contributed a chapter to a new book that shares stories about growing up during the dawn of the Space Age (The Space Age Generation).
He received his BA from Carleton College (Northfield, MN) and PhD from the U. Texas-Austin. He subsequently went to NASA Ames as an NRC postdoctoral researcher, then Staff Scientist at LPI (1976-1984), and finally Professor at Brown University, becoming Emeritus in 2014. His students have gone to become well-respected scientists across the world. He served as the Science Coordinator for the NASA Ames Vertical Gun Range from 1980 to 2014 and was the Principle Investigator and Director of both the NASA Rhode Island Space Grant program (1992-2022) and the Northeast Planetary Data Center at Brown (1984-2022). He has been awarded the Distinguished Scientist Award (Hypervelocity Impact Society), Barringer Medal (Meteoritical Society), Medal of Achievement (National Academy of Sciences of Argentina), Distinguished Alumnae Achievement award (Carleton College), and the G. K. Gilbert Award (Geological Society of America). Asteroid 6952 is named “PeteSchultz.”

Sorry, but at 32.20~, you asserted that the accretion disc model of planetary formation is "accurate". And yet, neither you nor the originators of this hypothesis have any evidence to support that assertion. A far as I'm concernned, this assertion is bogus and should be struck from future such descriptions, as there is more evidence, both circumstancial and reasonably logical, to assert that planets are in fact the cores of dead stars. This explains why rocky planets are so heavy-metals rich and why asteroids- which are further fragmented rocky bodies- are often solid iron. It also explains why the planets are so very precisely spherical, as there is no mechanism that can form perfect spheres in space except the fact that they were once entirely molten bodies. In further defence of my hypothesis, I cite the illogical idea that eight separate spherical bodies- all with very different chemistries- could be formed from a single accretion disc at the same time as the Sun. This is simply not reasonable and must be rejected. Since it has most recently been shown by Dr Pierre-Marie Robitaille that Stars are constituted by predominantly condensed matter- the same matter as planets are formed by - then the hypothesis of planets (and all other spherical bodies) being dead star cores, is perfectly valid.

Very interesting. Especially the moving star at the end. You don't really think of stars as moving visibly, but I guess 100 years is a long time.

Very nice video. 100% agree about the Rey book.

65% of Americans believe that there have been legitimate sightings, contact, crashes, and abductions and that these things are true. The standard of guilt in a courtroom is beyond any reasonable doubt. Consider hearing from hundreds of military officers all testifying to alien contact, sightings, crashes, and abductions. You're a skeptical juror, you want physical evidence. You are soon to be left behind.

Two years later, and 2050 for Strong AI turns out to have been wildly short-sighted. Now ChatGPT is not only writing novels, it's writing computer code. Kurzweil's singularity is already here, ahead of schedule.
ChatGPT is not strong AI. It can only write things. There are other impressive AI that can only play chess, only play Go, and there is a newer one that can only play Stratego (and beat human experts). There is a recent video from acollierastro about it. If you wanted ChatGPT to write that program you would have to detail exactly what type of program you wanted, then you would keep refining what else it needed until the program was as you expected.
@@EinsteinsHair "only write things"?? To "write things", it needs to understand what is being said/asked of it, and then respond in a coherent manner. It vacuumed up all the knowledge on the Internet -- it can pass law exams, doctor exams, physics exams, etc. It can put script writers out of work. It can program. This level of AI was only dreamed about, always 10 or 20 years away. And it's only going to get stronger, and be in the hands of more people. Already you can get something similar running on your desktop with pricey hardware, under $10,000. The future is now.
@@chrimony My understanding is ChatGPT is a fancy Autocomplete, next word prediction, which can do amazing things. You should look into things it gets wrong, or just makes up. For example, the LegalEagle channel has a video about a lawyer giving a court a legal paper generated by ChatGPT. The judge was not amused because the real legal cases cited had nothing to do with the present case, and the other cases cited were just made up. Even if ChatGPT had been a search engine as the employee thought, it still should have been checked because laws later get amended or repealed. Sometimes a later section of a specific law will list exceptions. So it was the employee's fault for not reading the cases, and the lawyer's fault for not checking his work, at all.

15:08 - It may be for nostalgic reasons to build a large horn antenna. However, they are not used anymore today because yagis or dish antennas are much more effective for the material required and they are readily available. A WIFI-yagi comes at about 20 US$ and will beat the horn hands down.
A wifi yagi has nowhere near the gain of a large horn like what was pictured, and only works properly at wifi frequencies. A horn is broadband and works on a large range of frequencies. A 2.4GHz yagi isn't going to have a good pattern at 1.42 GHz because yagis are not wide bandwidth antennas. A parabolic dish might be a better antenna if you can buy it with a feed for your frequency, but it is a lot harder to build than the simple horn shown.
@@stargazer7644 Sorry, my mistake, "A WIFI-yagi comes at about 20 US$ and will beat the horn hands down" is surely not correct. *But,* the typical DIY horns shown for 21cm reception have an aperture of only about 50 * 50 cm and could be easily equalled by a reasonalbly compact DIY yagi if you adapt a 23 cm design. As to a dish, they can be found from surplus in one way or another and the feed is not much different from the feed you need for a pyramidal horn.
Very good! I also loved Iceland when I was there though only saw auroras from the plane flying in. Also went to Greenland when there which was quite another experience.

Yes sir i watched your video in utube its good presentation thats why got interest to to show what i have found her in our place its look like stoneny instalite meteorite need your help sir pls..thanks donald from philipines
Leslie was an amazing observer.
Hi , Any radio wave dish telescope which come under 1000 dollar which can be purchased online in USA. I live in India.
It is called a satellite dish. Surely they sell them in India?
@@stargazer7644 can you suggest any which can be used for space navigation
Get a satellite dish and make one with some batteries and a signal finder
The obvious answer is that the aliens are here, they have been here a long time, and they are running the place. : - )
