I (Orac) have a huge problem with orbital mechanics.

Yes, you (Orac) do indeed have a huge problem with orbital mechanics.

In fact, you truly don't have a clue about it. Not a clue.

Is the moon tidally locked to Earth?
Does the mass of the moon equal the mass of the Earth?
Will the moon continue to be tidally locked to Earth?


Your statement "to remain so tidally locked the two masses would have to be identical" (and many other incorrect statements) prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you don't have a clue about what you are talking about.

Really, you should read up on basic physics, and if you really want to make statements about orbital mechanics, then you will have to put in the hard yards, i.e., read up on it.
