Here's an interesting observation - practical demonstration.

[Pete]

try this right now:

Make fists with both of your hands and then with your arms in front of you keep your left arm and fist static as you rotate the fist of your right arm around the static left fist.

Observe for a while how the rotating fist appears to display all of its surface area at some time during its rotation to the static fist.

Now, Imagine that these two fists were actually disembodied and floating in space. Gravity and friction would not be a concern except for the gravitational pull of the two bodies as the rotating fist which is smaller in mass rotates around the larger static fist.

Now imagine that the larger static fist is in fact the Earth and it is is travelling through space at 63.000 miles an hour and obeying all the laws of physics as we currently understand them. Now observe the right rotating fist (moon) and try and make it only display one part of its surface area to the the planet it is orbiting.

Did you feel it? ........................:roll:

pretty cool

The point I was trying to illustrate with this practical demonstration is to bring peoples attention to the seemingly unquestioned fact that the moon appears static and only shows a fixed plane of its surface to earth. If you carry out the demonstration you will find it impossible to keep a fixed plane visible to an entire rotation of the earth without rotating the moon at a very specific speed.

If that is the case not only is the fact that the moon is virtually exactly 1: 40 the diameter of the sun and creates an almost perfect eclipse but, it is actually rotating at a precise speed to ensure that only a single plane of the moon is visible.

Therefore we have to question the likelihood of such a coincidence and that this heavenly body is acting as if under intelligent control.
