Upon further thought, 2 things must be true: - at any instant - if/when the moon rotates Axis of rotation perpendicular to it's orbital path, and parallel to the Earth's axis of rotation, (the 2 planes that is, and not necessarily alligned.)

If gravity is causing an attraction between the 2 bodies, that would be the truth. If gravity is changing the spacetime straight path of the moon, then the moon has no revolutions. Someone has stated that the moon did revolve, and that it nolonger does. That statement means that gravity is...

Chroot, you obviously are not grasping this thread. Your last post shows Clearly that you also don't know the difference between a gravitationally caused orbit, and rotation about ones own axis. You do, however, have the same question I do, but are not willing to admit your own...

Correction: The moon's rotation, for those that believe there is one for every orbit, has to be perfectly perpendicular to it's orbital path; and not parallel to the Earth's poles. ( I knew something sounded wrong when I wrote it. )

well, it's been a fun game of merry go round; I'm getting off now. ta ta and grand futur, 'in the box'.

a mentor saying that something isn't true, is not mentoring. we need to shake the government up a bit and get the schools working right.

i may find it, depends where i look, thought i was looking here. thanks anyways, have a good day?

Trajectory --- path If we put something in orbit around earth, a ball, without spin; would the same face always be towards earth?

ok, here is yet a 3rd thing that must be true then: The poles of the moon must be perfectly lined up with those of earth. 3 things is... too much coincidence.

oh. I got my information from here: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070225.html But that still does not explain conflict between: 1) That gravity changes the path of the moon, and 2) It's said that moon revolves once per 27 days. they can not both be true. some change in...

For those that reply just to trash others, go find another thread... please! I understand that gravity warps space; I also understand that the moon is revolving once per approx. 27 days. 1) If the moon is going in a straight line and gravity is warping its 'straight' path into an orbit...

I've been warned. oops.

I think I know what you mean. I started on this whole path due to gyroscopes. After looking at the pictures in the 4th dim. 'explanations', and having seen a precessing gyro, imagined it forced to break-neck speeds of precession, and then moving in/through spacetime, things pointed me...
