I absolutely recognize that I was wrong about the moon. I have no idea what I was thinking and don't have an excuse for such a basic mistake. The correct answer is yes, the moon is tidally locked, making it spin at a rate that corresponds with the earth's spin. As a consequent of that, we only ever see one side of the moon. The far side has been viewed through investigation, but not by looking at it with our eyes. Thank you for the helpful comments, if I don't own my screw-ups, I have no business doing the show :)

Anders Kjeldgaard Nielsen it’s not a case of denting or scattering parts so much when a meteor or asteroid collides with the moon. There is a huge release of energy because of the speed the object is travelling and therefore its kinetic energy. The object is sometimes vaporised in this impact and the moon’s surface is thrown out. Sometimes resulting in unusual effects or patterns. I think some of the impacts have left areas that are miles deep in the very large cases so not exactly shallow.

as a direction of where to look for more info, check into Zoroastrianism -- a great many concepts from there translated over into Judaism and eventually Christianity..... for the moon bit -- he's talking about a seismic test that was conducted as part of the moon landing missions. seismically the moon is fairly inactive. The "test impact" was to cause a seismic impulse; they do the same thing here on earth using a small explosive charge, which they couldn't do on the moon for various safety reasons. When they say it "rings like a bell" it's a metaphorical description of the seismic impulse being far less attenuated than was expected. It indicates the moon is largely solid and lacking the molten core the Earth has. As for as the crater depth, crater size is a direct function of impact energy and bolide size. (larger & faster has more energy) it's an established that the craters on the moon are NOT "all the same depth"....they vary as a function of size, completely as expected. The phenomena he's talking about is that craters over a certain size, all display a "flattening" due to magma-infiling. This is again expected, IF those craters are of a given size, and occured in a given time frame. That was part of what some of the Apollo landings studied (along with some of the seismic studies) by all the indications we can observe, the large in-filled craters, are all VERY ancient, dating back to what is called the "Heavy Bombardment" period of earth's history.. a time when the earth was so heavily impacted by large bolide impacts, as to render the surface nearly completely molten. If they date to that time, then it is early in the formation and would have been before the moon could have cooled enough still have a molten interior.

I was introduced to Jen on the last episode of Atheist Experience, and I stuck around and listened to Godless Bitches. She certainly didn't hold back from being offensive on there (which she shouldn't.) However, they read the 7 tenets of the satanic temple, and praised them highly. Including number 4 - "The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo your own. " To then see her reaction to the caller's use of the word "retarded" struck me as monumentally hypocritical. Her actions doesn't comport with her professed beliefs. It is perfectly fine to be offensive, as long as there is no slight to what she holds personally dear. There are religious people who hold their beliefs as dearly as she does her autistic son. Which is why for years we have been fighting for the freedom to question, criticize and mock everything, no matter how personal it might be to someone. In this case no offense was even meant, it was simply a confused man, likely not from a liberal stronghold. It wasn't directed as a personal attack, it wasn't an intentional slur. Yet the reaction was one of angry offense, stating that it "doesn't fly, ever!" Hypocrisy.

Josh himself says the moon is "tidal locked to the earth" at 19:40. Tidal lock is a phenomenon that is explained by how gravitational fields work. Mercury is also tidal locked to the sun (although in a different phase). So tidal lock is the REASON the moon presents the same face (more or less) to the earth. Interesting that Josh gives the name of the reason (tidal lock) in the same sentence in which he states there is no reason it should be so.

I think you guys should have a red warning light you can turn on when people like this call.

The craters we can see on the moon from the near side are all a very similar depth as impacts all have to happen at a steep angle to get to there because it's tidally locked, the far side of the moon however has vastly different craters.

What people mean when they say the moon is "tidally locked" is that the moon is close enough to the earth that tidal forces lock it's rotation to the same rate as it's orbit. That's because as you go further away from a massive object, the pull of gravity you feel towards it gets weaker. The moon is very big, so the side of the moon we see is actually being pulled harder by Earth's gravity than the far side. That force difference is large enough that it keeps one side of the moon facing the planet. So in this case, the probability of the rotation period of the moon being the same as the orbit period is 1.

@thelistofjustin1356

Correct

The caller is talking about the moon being tidally locked to the Earth - that it's orbit and revolutions are synchronized such that one face always points to the earth. This is NOT highly unlikely, as most major moons in the solar system are similarly locked to their parent planet - Mars has 2 locked moons, Jupiter has 8, Saturn has 15, Uranus has 5, Neptune 2 and Pluto has 1. There are 25 other moons of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune that are thought likely to be tidally locked, we just haven't confirmed them to be. This happens through entirely natural means. The basic process is that the parent planet's gravity creates tidal bulges on the moon. If the moon's rotation is faster or slower, that bulge is either carried away from or lags behind facing the planet. The planet's gravitational forces pull on the increased mass in those bulges, imparting a torque on the moon's rotation that either slows down or speed up the rotation. Put simply, a bulge forms in the moon, and the increased mass in that bulge results in increased gravitational attraction that resists being carried away from facing the planet. This highlights the problem of being utterly uninterested in the truth. The explanation of this process is available to anyone by way of a two minute internet search. Yet the caller takes this admittedly interesting occurrence, fails to research it in any way and concludes it's best explanation is that aliens tow moons around the universe to set up bases from which to observe the development of apes on other planets. I'm exaggerating here, but the point remains.

"Seriously joking" is the oxymoron of the day.

Awesome clip, and also thank you so much for correcting them on the r slur oh man

The hollow moon must be incredibly thin and fragile if something as comparatively small as a spacecraft part makes it ring for hours.

Tidal locking is a well known aspect of gravitational mechanics and is quite common in the universe. In fact, tidally locked moons are the norm in our solar system, not the exception. All 4 Galilean moons, for example, are tidally locked. It can be perfectly explained by purely natural phenomena and is in no way indicative of alien intelligence or interference.

We see 62% of the moon just depends on it’s phases and how far it is away from us. The caller is totally wrong. The moon rotated and spins at the same rate and it isn’t a rare thing in the universe. Lots of moons are title locked to their planets. Pluto has a title locked moon

IIRC tidal locking is actually fairly common between bodies of a given mass, to the point where most spherical moons (and several of the irregular ones) in the Sol system are locked with their respective planets. The moons don't even need a stable orbit to be locked. Luna (our moon) and Deimos (one of Mars') are both gradually drifting away from their planets, and Phobos (Mars' other moon) is falling toward the planet. All three are still locked. The effect can also be mutual if the masses are similar enough, as Pluto and Charon are tidally locked with each other.

4:10 It isn't a theory or hypothesis. It is an idea. To become a hypothesis, you have to come up with a method of falsification.

The Moon is tidally locked with Earth, which means that it spins on its axis exactly once each time it orbits our planet. Because of this, people on Earth only ever see one side of the Moon. We call this motion synchronous rotation.

Dear Josh, Tidal locking is extremely common. It is NOT in any way an indication of anything strange, nor is the probability of it not being tidally locked, is not really that much greater than the probability of it being tidally locked. In fact, given the distance and the ratios of the sizes of earth and the moon, it is impossible for it NOT to be tidally locked. Most of Jupiter's moons are tidally locked, did aliens set them up too? And if so, why?

At least, from what Im hearing, it seems he believes in space. Too many flat earthers around these days, not enough ancient alienees, guess that's too 2012.

The earth is also slowing its rotation due to tidal effects. Today is 1.7 milliseconds longer than a day was a century ago. 500 million years ago a day was 21 hours long.

The easiest way to study tidal locking is to put a spinning ball in a bucket with water. At some stage the heaviest point will be down. Mark the top as the light point. Spin several times and the ball will always point the say way up. The Moon surface flexes under the Earth gravity and this converts rotational energy in warmth. And this has been going on for billions of years till we now tidally locked.

Josh is absolutely not a troll. If you do a little research on it. You might fall into the rabbit hole..

As for why the moon is tidally locked, it's a combination of factors. The orbit of the moon causes a torque on the moon due to gravity from the earth which can change the rotation of the moon which over time brings it into a stable tidally locked orbit. It's actually not as improbable as it appears because the physics will naturally produce this result given a range of starting conditions.

Mercury's rotates exactly three times for every two times it revolves around the Sun. That seems even more unlikely, so there must be aliens there as well.

Should have been a 5 min call tops!!

It's called tidal locking. only one side of the moon is visible from Earth because the moon rotates on its axis at the same rate the moon orbits the earth a situation known is synchronous rotation

So.......Were all the billions of other moons in the universe also put there by aliens, or just some of them? I am so confused.

Tidal lock - the speed of rotation and orbit are both 27 days, so we only see that one side. but it DOES rotate!

Belief apparently doesn't require sufficient research to know words such as Lunar Module Ascent stage.

other moons in our own solar system also have tidal locking it's not a rare phenomenon it's due to gravitational phenomena

I've never looked up ancient aliens again, but everything he'd written, was not only interesting and fun, but it sounded like it made total sense in his conclusions. Like depictions of Angels and their wagons, that were highly similar to what we would define as rockets. My 10 year old mind was blown. It sparkled some interest in hystory and stuff which I never followed through, but it had nontheless a very large inprint on me. I know, that I can be sucked in easily in conspiracy theories, when they use structures that seem logical on a first view, without deeper knowledge on any suspect. So I always have had to be very careful (looking at you Dan Brown, you well written Bastard;-*). But at the same time, it also ignites over and over again my thirst on ancient history:) same goes for some storylines from some Mikey Mouse comics. At least the storys written by Don Rosa. I wonder how much von Däniken has been proven wrong untill this day. Also. Fun Fuct. There has been a Mickey Mouse Comic Story with a parody of Von Däniken in it.

The Slim Creeper Von Däniken was torn apart immediately-for starters, he’d buy anything anyone told him was an ancient find, so some of his evidence is obvious forgeries. He was fun, though.

"The moon could have a reason" ??? What???? How much dope did he smoke?

6:50 so far and I have spilt my coffee and my ribs are hurting. Will probably update if apoplexy doesn't take me.

It was hypothesized that the moon's interior is much less solid than the surface. That doesn't remotely imply that it's hollow. Many TV producers and others who benefit from publishing controversial material have released publications promoting many unsupported theories. But the known density of the moon indicated that it cannot be hollow.

All the moon seismography tells us it's that we don't know the exact composition of the moon. It didn't ring like a bell, from some googling it seems the moon "reverberated" in a way that we didn't expect which doesn't tell us much. It didn't ring like a big moon dinner bell. The ever so slight movements of the moon were a bit different than what we thought. The Earth rings like a bell too. The Earth is damn near always churning and shaking.

Where's EJ when you need them? This would have been such a good call for them to show off in.

The Picard crater on the moon is measured as 22 Km across and 2.4 Km deep. Yet someone sticks a box in the ground and it makes a "bell" sound? Even thought the "crust" around the hollow moon needs to be kilometers in thickness? The "bell" idea would need the ... metal? shell? if we go there, to be a maximum of like, 1 meter below ground.

No, the moon was made by Soup Dragon so that the Clangers had somewhere to live.

So, if our moon was brought here by aliens, please explain all the other known moons in our solar system.

We do only see one side of the moon, but that is a natural consequence of gravity and tidal dragging. Given enough time without interference, that is the only possible outcome. I get why the hosts got this wrong, as who looks into this kind of stuff, but i wanted to leave an answer for viewers who were wondering.

There are lots of planets and moons that are tidal locked, it's very common.

The moon's one quarter the size of the Earth, yet has 1-10th of the Earth's mass, which perplexes scientists. Also they crashed the Apollo 11 lunar module 100 miles from the seismometer and rang like a bell for 40 minutes! On a later mission they crashed the module at a higher vilosity 300 miles away and it rang for 3 hours!

2000 years ago there were more religions than there are now (only about 3100 now). And they did not include the two new big religions that exist today, Islam and Christianity. The ancient Romans, for example, worshipped many gods, including the gods of other people. Today, most religious Romans have abandoned their own gods and worship the god of the Hebrews.

So, they dropped a _hollow metal_ capsule on the moon and it ringed like a _hollow metal_ object... Umm... Must be aliens and god!

Okay, real talk. Craters on the Moon indeed have a maximum depth. But not because of the aliens. It's because when you hit the Moon too hard, the lava just fills the krater up to a certain level. And now I do not understand, why no one covered this in three years.

Josh is "skeptical", but he gets all of his information from the Ancient Aliens show on The History Channel. A simple google search for "hollow moon" would discredit the crazy ideas he (and the History Channel) has.

Mercury is tidally locked to the sun. Jupiter's moon Io and Saturn's moon Enceladus are also tidally locked to their respective planets. As aremore moons in our solar system.

so this is * the * moon episode

Also, it turns out that most moons and many planets end up tidally locked. It is natural for an orbiting body, close to another, for it to happen since gravity from each acts on the other.
