TL;DR
An explanation into the mechanisms that make irregular shaped meteorites, including some up one tenth the size of the moon, seemingly vanish, leaving symmetrical craters with surprisingly shallow floors.
Summary: An explanation into the mechanisms that make irregular shaped meteorites, including some up one tenth the size of the moon, seemingly vanish, leaving symmetrical craters with surprisingly shallow floors.

We’re going to look at the initial conditions of the moons formation from the popular theory that the Earth collided with another large heavenly body and literally spun off the moon. And after establishing that solid foundation we’ll a look at a newer, still controversial, theory that the moon was ejected from the Earth causing a deflation on the earth.

that's isn't a new theory

not really sure where you are intending to go with this thread ??

Publish your paper in a reputable peer-reviewed scientific journal. Until then, as you know, it cannot be discussed here at the PF.

Thread is closed pending the publishing of the article...
