The explanation given in Wikipedia, that the bulge in the shape of the moon from the stronger gravity on the nearer side facing the Earth produces torque that eventually cancels rotation, may be true if the moon really does bulge enough. But if the moon’s centre of gravity is not in its...
From Earth, we always see precisely the same half of the moon.
Isn't the simplest explanation for this odd fact that the Moon's core is not uniformly dense, and it's centre of gravity is situated some distance further way from us than its geometric centre but on a direct line extended beyond...
We can't see dark matter so it must be completely transparent. If we know it's there because it has mass, which affects our gravitational computations, can we work out what a cubic KM of it weighs? If it has mass, must it have Higgs bosons? Energy and Mass are inter-related/interchangeable...
