  • Only one side of the Moon ever faces us because Earth's force of gravity on it is not uniform. This is related to our ocean tides and a lengthening of days on Earth. Duration: 7:58.

      @@paulmerritt8593 UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS THE COMPARATIVE AND BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE OF THE MAN WHO IS STANDING ON WHAT IS THE MOON:
      The BULK DENSITY of the Moon is comparable to that of (volcanic) basaltic LAVAS on the Earth. The energy density of LAVA IS about three times that of water. SO, now, get a good and CLEAR look at what is the ORANGE SUN.
      The human body is, in fact, about as dense as water ! Look up at the blue sky. Importantly, this is a balanced BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE !! The Moon is ALSO BLUE, AS it is barely visible then; AND the Earth is ALSO BLUE. SO, let's now match up (on balance) the eye, the blue sky, AND the ORANGE "Sun"/LAVA. Notice the basic match in sizes and brightness when considering the SETTING AND fully illuminated Moon AS WELL.
      (Most of the human body is water, with an average of roughly 60 percent. The average density of the Moon is also 60 percent in comparison with that of the Earth.) Beautiful.
      Relatively speaking, the terrestrial moon is, in fact, roughly a match (regarding it's size, at 27 percent) WITH the surface land area of the Earth (at 29 percent).
      In conclusion, in establishing the comparative AND BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE of gravity on what is the Moon, we would multiply one HALF times one third in order to get the correct answer. This explains quantum gravity, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. Accordingly, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution !!! Great.
      Consider the relation with the tides. The Moon is ALSO BLUE.
      E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. In conclusion, I have mathematically proven that the gravity of what is THE MOON is ONE SIXTH in direct comparison with what is THE EARTH/ground; AS gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS GRAVITATIONAL force/energy IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy.
      Think QUANTUM GRAVITY !!!
      Think energy DENSITY. It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE.
      The ENERGY DENSITY of LAVA is about THREE TIMES greater than water. There would be no gravity on the blue Earth, AS the EYE then stands in balanced relation WITH what is the BLUE sky !! BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE does then dictate that the gravity of WHAT IS THE MOON would be reduced by (and at) one half, thereby bringing the surface gravity of what is THE MOON to BALANCE with that of THE EARTH/ground at one sixth. So, one half (ON BALANCE) of one third is one sixth. The orange "Sun" AND what is THE MOON ARE BALANCED with what is THE EYE. (Think about what is LAVA.)
      Notice, comparatively, that these forms or manifestations ARE semi-detached in relation to touch/tactical EXPERIENCE !!
      Moreover, the Moon is TERRESTRIAL in COMPARISON; SO (ON BALANCE) the Moon is ALSO then about one quarter (at 27 percent) the size of EARTH/ground !! The blue Pacific OCEAN takes up about HALF of the view of what is the Earth ON BALANCE !! SO, we WOULD multiply ONE HALF (ON BALANCE) in order to account for WHAT IS THE MOON, this ORANGE "Sun", AND LAVA on balance !!
      Now, in conclusion, the land surface area of the Earth is 29 percent. This is exactly ON BALANCE WITH BOTH one third AND one fourth, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !
      E=MC2 IS CLEARLY F=ma ON BALANCE ! Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Great.

      The side we only can see has asteroid/meteor impacts sites all over it, how is that possible if its only facing the earth? Did earth shoot at it with its own meteorites? Or did meteorites slingshot around the moon to hit it? If that is lol, the impact sites would look like a plain crash and have drag of moon dirt not big holes... Unless it stopped in space looked down and said "Hmm... I want to plop myself right ova m'hea... And the vibrated itself giving it more kinetic energy build up due to the lack of room to gather more speed so it can drill deep deep into the God Damn Moon LMFAO! That is all...

      Yes it's pretty good. One minor exception was the explanation of tidal locking implied that the moon would tidally lock if it was spherical. Tidal locking depends on deformation. If it is not deformed and it's inertial mass is distributed evenly it will not lock. Well it might, given enough time because nothing is perfectly rigid but the deformation came before the tidal locking when the moon was close to the Earth and molten.

      ​@J Calhoun ALMOST 2 decades ago. got in this discussion about Moon view locked as it is, no rotation vs. Earth view. The debate on the forum for either Enron or WorldCom fake government caused bankruptcy .... we got off on a tangent. Arguments ensued... someone mentioned TIDAL LOCK is reason, so I looked it up and there were articles stating this. I was pushing thought of an exaggerated profile of its core, that is lopsided core, with more mass facing Earth, kinda like a weeble.... Weebles Wobble but they do not turn their face (for long).

  • @Mahesh_Shenoy
    @Mahesh_Shenoy 2 роки тому +3

    Doubt! At 3:55, why would the centre of gravity be 'lifted' away? Since the forces at different points in space stay the same, the centre of gravity shouldn't move at all, as the moon spins. This makes me think this explanation is incomplete. To account for the torque, we must consider the deformation of the moon. Because the moon is deformed, if it spins faster, then the bulges don't align with the axis. Now, again, the force profile stays the same, but due to asymmetric bulge, there is a net torque now!

  • @mikel5582
    @mikel5582 Рік тому +3

    Something doesn't make sense here. The center of gravity isn't necessarily a fixed place in a spherical object. As a spherical moon rotates, the center of gravity wouldn't follow that rotation; it would be fixed in space relative to the earth's gravitational field, assuming a homogeneous density within the moon, but not fixed relative to the moon itself. The above assumes a spherical moon. If gravity has distorted the shape from spherical, and the rate at which that distortion csn change is much slower than the moon's rotation then the center of gravity would indeed change with rotation.

    This is easily the best explanation I've ever seen visually with the added benefit of having answers to common questions that intrinsically come after understanding the basic mechanics of gravitational pull and rotation. As I speculated whether the earth's rotational speed had ever been faster in the past, and whether it would slow to match the moons orbital speed, you answered both questions. I know I learned all this in school, almost 15 years ago, but because of the abstract nature of these concepts, it's all too easy to forget these little details. Thank you for your hard work

    When I was 10, I told my father that we only see one side of the moon from Earth. He told me that I was wrong. I told him that I learned this in school. He grounded me for talking back at him and told me to tell my teacher that she was wrong. Loving relationship obviously, but he was not the only person in my life to have such strong attachments to the idea that we see all sides of the moon from Earth. This phenomenon has always perplexed me. All one has to do is care enough to pay the slightest attention to our closest stellar neighbor to see that our view of its surface never changes, other than the shadow across its surface. It all goes to show that, not enough people look up. I guess they are afraid of getting bird poo in the eye. My wife was in her late 20s when she pointed out a strange object in the day sky. It was the moon. I often wonder how these enormous details are missed for entire lifetimes. I wonder what I, myself am ignorant too. Fortunately for life lessons, I do not allow cognitive dissonance to get in the way of learning something new every day. Thank you for the video from a decade in the future.

      3) The spot which was shown last is where the surveyor 6 got landed.And it is landed on sinus medii on the near side of the moon
      sinus medii is located at the intersection of the moons equator and Prime meridian as seen from the earth this feature is located in the central part of the moons near side and it is the point closest to the earth. So I guess looking from there it will definetly be seeing the earth and the sun according to its rotation

      @@manishasoni2074 Really glad that it helped you :) and sorry that I didn't completely understood the second question like which part ,you confused with ¿
      Near side of the moon is the visible side of the moon which is turned towards the earth.
      Because of that,the intersection of the moon's equator and Prime meridian is considered on the moons near side and it is also the central point.
      The point which is referred to any divison of the moon into two hemispheres
      one more thing to consider is that the moons axis of rotation is tilted as well as earth's.but moon's tilt is at an angle of 5.15° with respect to the plane of the earths orbit about the sun
      *if this tilt of moon was zero. We could have total Solar and Lunar eclipse every month
      and also the moon's orbit is not circular. It is elliptical. There are so much things to consider on the other side. feel free to ask questions :)

Even the police dept notes a crazy increase in crime around the full moon. Aka “lunatic”. From the word “lunar”. I think there is more to this and this is also a lot of “belief “ system stuff that he is going on about. I wonder if the moon was square if people would assume the earth was also. ( acknowledging that nasa admits there are no “actual “ photos of the earth. They are all “composite images “. Another good word. Legally an “image “ isn’t necessarily a photo.

    Good video but one important thing is missing : differences in Moons density.
    The Moon's true center of gravity is slightly offset from its geometrical center. It is caused by little differeces in density of Moon’s material.
    Imagine Moon somewhere in deep space separate from Earth.
    It is slightly more dense on the side where vast Lunar seas are located.
    That causes center of Moon’s gravity (POINT A) is a little bit shifted from its geometrical center (POINT B)
    Now, place the Moon next to Earth again.
    Point upon which Earth tugs as the author say in 3:48 h have to be shifted just towards specific direction on the Moons surface - more dense side of the Moon which we can see today.

He used the moon as an example of a body that translates but does not rotate. I responded that it did rotate but only once per circumtranslation. He did not accept my explanation, so I used myself as the moon moving around a desk as the earth to demonstrate that it had to rotate in order to maintain the same side facing the earth. He replied, "Well, if you want to call that rotational motional." I gave up.

The Muslim should have his left side towards the Kaaba and circumambulating around it،( moslem represents the moon) . If you stand above the Kaaba, you will see the Muslim’s left ear and will not see his right ear. The Kaaba is square and has four corners, at each corner. A corner where the Muslim turns 1/4 of a turn (90°), a complete turn for the Muslim around the Kaaba(=4*90°=360°), He has rotated around himself (his vertical axis) a full turn. This can be confirmed by having the Muslim do this while standing (360°) = one revolution around his vertical axis. This is what the moon does.

    @professorsogol5824 5 років тому +4

    I like your homework questions; I'll have to do a little internet research to answer them. In order to address them, we need to consider
    1) what angle does the moon's axis of rotation make with the moon's plane of revolution around the earth?
    The moon's axis of rotation with respect to the plane on which it revolves around the earth averages about 6.68 degrees (Wikipedia)
    2) what angle does the moon's plane of revolution around the earth make with the earth's plane of revolution around the sun?
    The moons revolutionary plane is to the ecliptic (the earth-sun plane) averages 5.14degrees
    Now just as the inclination of the earth's axis to the ecliptic (23. 4) causes the seasons and sun to appear higher in the sky in the summer and lower in the sky in winter, the corresponding tilt on the lunar axis will make the earth appear to be north of a lunatic living on the lunar equator at longitude 0 to observe the sun north of his position at some times and south of his position at others. These extremes will occur once every lunar cycle, but because the plane of the moon's orbit also rotates with respect to the sun in a little less than a solar year, the extreme position of the earth with respect to the northern and southern lunar horizons will be at a different time with respect to solar time.
    The forgoing accounts for the apparent north-south motion in the earth's position in the lunar sky. But there are other wobbles and bobbles in the earth-moon-sun system that will mean that the earth's position in the lunar sky will vary slightly east and west as well. A lunar Aristarchus or Ptolemy would be able to collect a lot of data to work with.
    PS I went out to see the partial solar eclipse last Sunday. Unfortunately it was too cloudy in my neighborhood to see the sun. But I did speculate on what a lunatic would see.

      Bad move...from 3:52 to 4:37 what it says is completely false. See my other comment for long explanation. Gravity alone cannot torque/rotate the moon according physics. You need a moment arm for a torque, and gravity doesn't have one since it always acts at the CM or CG. The guy that made this video doesn't understand basic physics.

    Hello thanks, but one point does not sound right, if the bulge is due to the higher Lunar gravity pull on the side nearer to the moon. Why does the opposite point experience a bulge considering that it is the furthest point from the moon therefore the location of the weakest pull from the moon?
    thanks for your answer.

    Answer 1: Yes you would see the sun from the far side of the moon. Just because the far side faces away from the Earth at all times doesn't mean it faces away from the sun. You would get approximately 1 sunrise and 1 sunset per month.
    Answer 2: No you would never see the earth from the far side of the moon without cheating (putting into orbit some kind of ridiculously gigantic mirror)
    Answer 3: You would only ever see the earth high in the sky directly overhead. The earth would be spinning so you would be able to see all the different sides of it at different times, but it would appear to have phases just like our view of the moon does.
    In fact I believe the earth phases would be more or less inverse to our moon phases. Approximately every month while the moon appears full from earth's perspective the earth would appear as ball of blackness from the moon's perspective. This is because during that part of the moon's orbit, the moon is behind the earth from the sun's perspective. About half a month later as the moon continues it's orbit, the moon will find itself in between the earth and the sun. At this time from the earth's perspective we would see a new moon (moon looks like a ball of blackness,) and from the moon's perspective you would see a "full earth."
    Answer 3 begs the question: Isn't there a famous quote from the Apollo days about the earth "rising over the moon's horizon"? Either my answer is wrong, or that quote must not have been said from the moon's surface, but instead from the perspective of an astronaut orbiting the moon in a spacecraft.

      It’s true that there are more visible craters on the far side of the Moon than its near side. However, this doesn’t mean that the near side was shielded from asteroid impacts. In fact, both sides received roughly the same amount of asteroid collisions; it was the difference in the types of crust on the two sides that made the craters on the far side more prominent, while the impacts formed huge lunar maria on the other.

      Even if the same face of the moon (literally a face is to be seen as well , like that "Night before Christmas puppet" from Tim Burke) is inverted, flipped or rotated 180° .... the Tim Burke puppet face like moonface should still be recognizable but isn't.
