Carl Sagan wrote about this event in his book, Cosmos. It was hypothesized that the moon was hit by a large object. If this was true, the moon would still be reverberating like a bell. Once lasers were invented, they could find out. I was a laser optics technician and polished a set of ATR plates ( germanium Attenuated Transmission Reflection plates) that were gold coated and taken to the moon in the 1970s. Then scientists on earth aimed a laser at the plates, which acted like a mirror, many times over a long period, and timed the arrival of the return laser rays. Turns out the moon is still reverberating like a bell from that 12th-century impact.

If we really think about it, a "cold" porridge is probably just the same temperature as the surrounding environment (or even colder), so even if such a temperature was enough to burn an alien, the porridge itself would not be the only thing around that could burn them. Why would they even attempt to eat such a porridge if they were an alien and in an environment that was hot enough to burn them?

TLDR: they more than likely foraged them rather than grew as its so hard without modern sterile conditions to not kill yourself or the mushrooms you are trying to grow and the fact they like the cold the ones we had access too.

Trouble is, in 1178 AD the concept of accurate truthful record did not exist. ALL records were made for a purpose and adapted / edited / shaped for that purpose. The concept of a record or truth for its own sake did not exist.

What a sight that would be to see.

The Meccan polytheists said: “O Muhammad ﷺ, if you really are a prophet and messenger, then perform for us a miracle that will testify to your prophetic mission. He ﷺ ​​asked them, what do you want to see? They asked to split the moon, hoping that this would demonstrate his helplessness. The Messenger of God ﷺ cried out to the Most High, He is Holy and Great, so that what they ask would be accomplished. Then the Moon split into two parts. And the Prophet ﷺ exclaimed to them: “So bear witness!”

So Bacon says that the tides are dependent upon the Moon, but believes it's due to light and it's effect on water vapors? As someone living in the political cess pool that is the U.S. right now, I guess I can understand how two sets of people can see the same exact thing and come to totally different conclusions about why and how.

Meteorite(s) broke into smaller and smaller parts between them and the moon. The heat caused the wavy-ness - like a mirage. The pieces blocked out the light of the already thin crescent of moon. Had the moon been bigger and brighter, it might not have been noticeable.

Someone else estimated that the moon phase would have been a waxing gibbous at the time

As for the Moon not being visible that might be solved when considering the difference between the Julian calendar and the present Gregorian. Then a waxing Moon would be visible in the south-west.

I've always had one problem with this story. It was reported and documented only by this one gathering of monks, but was it reported by anyone else or in different places? That's the documentation I hope to see one day.

In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful 1 ) The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two]. ( 2 ) And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic." ( 3 ) And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement. ( 4 ) And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence - ( 5 ) Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them]. ( 6 ) So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding, ( 7 ) Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading, ( 8 ) Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."

Sounds as though the original part was a comet or meteor and the rest was likely hysteria.

How about the DRUG theory...people seem to leave out the prevalence of drug use, especially in religious ceremony! Could have just been some good shrooms!

Butter on a sunday?! Outrageous!

Imagine getting banished to space because you made butter on a sunday

So why didn’t half the world observe the same thing.

9:07 They also drew stars in the shadow part of the moon ... so this could really just be them smoking some newly discovered herb or trying some random shrooms. I don't think they meant it split in half, I think they meant you could see both halves (sun side / dark side), you'd need the original quote and a degree in ancient language to really say for sure whether that's on the table.

I do wonder if the scientists took the calendar shifts into consideration.

The important element about the moon that you neglected was that until Galileo, everyone in the Christian and Islamic world believed that the moon was an intellegent!, ethereal, supernal body (not physical). Galileo's first and most important fight was proving with his telescope that it was a big rock, which was also considered heretical. All of astrology depends on this belief, so this information would surely be significant for a story like this one.

In regards to the moon not being visible on that date, has the calendar change been taken into account? They would have been using the Julian Calendar then after all.

I've seen a rock hit the atmosphere - a hot coal is a good description - something I recall which I don't understand is that the rock split directly above me, and it made a sort of pop noise - but I heard it simultaneously to what I saw. Shouldn't there have been a delay?

@@hansa9159 Yes I know, I clearly recall the rock splitting and the noise happening simultaneously.

I'm going to do a search and see what I find.

Early glitch in the matrix. Projector was flickering.

Just a quick mention, the calendar the 11th century monks were following could be different to what we use now, it seems when making calendars in the past, they routinely left out a few days, here and there and the Julian and Gregorian calendar differ greatly... There isn't anyway of knowing what our real cronalogical date is. 😺🐈👍

The moon can be seen from many many vantage points yet they were the only people, a handful of monks who witnessed and recorded it yet millions of other people saw nothing of those claims?

Hmm.... let's see. At Canterbury on 18 of June, 1178 at about a hour after sunset. [Cranks up planetarium program]. Sun set at that time and location: 20:14 The moon is 0.03 illuminated (it's very near New Moon) so not much of a crescent, and is 3° 48' above the western horizon (being a near New Moon it's in near conjunction with the Sun). An hour later (21:14) the Moon is at a azimuth of -4° 15' (below the western horizon). [An ecclesiastical hour (37mins 37.166secs) after sunset (at 20:51:37) the moon would be at azimuth -1° 16"] Yep -- it'd believe that.
