Orac; Grow up. If you are wrong you are wrong. Everyone is wrong sometimes.


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?

Of course, two tidally locked object do NOT have to have identical masses.


What orbital stability issue? You talk (other thread) of the instability of a double planet system (PreEarth-Heaven) together with a third object (the Moon). For some reason you just assume that together they are unstable, no proof required.

But you are obviously wrong. Think on a bigger scale;

Is the double system (Earth-Sun) unstable simply because you add, say, Venus?

Contrary to your claims, the addition of a third object does not necessarily imply orbital instability.


How is this theory different from the giant impact theory?

Let's start with:

1) the impact causes continental drift
2) the impact causes the Pacific basin
3) the impact creates the Pacific ring of fire
4) the impact raises the ring of mountains around the Pacific
5) the impact creates the Himalayas
6) the impact takes continental crust that completely covers the planet PreEarth and distributes it in patchwork fashion over the surface of the Earth

None of these things are claimed by the giant impact theory.

The giant impact theory claims to create the moon, however,

7) Mansfield's impact does not claim to create the Moon.

These are not minor differences in the theories.


Originally, I have no idea.

I have calculated it at the point of impact, but it was so long ago now that I have forgotten.


It was already there.
