now for my honest estimate of how high the moon dust should be
excluding : compaction due to gravity.
compaction due to electro / mechanical properties of the moon dust.
5521 pounds / 1550 sq inch = 3.56 pounds/sq inch
1 (sq inch) = 6.4516 sq centimeters
3.56 pounds sq inch / 6.14516 cm = 0.551 pounds / sq cm
1 pound = 453.592 grams
moon dust weighs 3 grams / cu cm
.55 pounds * 453.592 grams = 250.292 grams per sq cm
250.292 grams sq cm / 3 grams per cu cm =
83.430 cm in heightwhich is not quite a meter in height
that is the 4.5 billion year accumulation of moon dust.but there's only apx .75 inches of dust on the moon.
so now I will calculate the height of moon dust that would have
accumulated over only 6000 years.
23290 tpy * 6000 years = 139740000 tons of dust total
a tonn = 2000 lbs
279,480,000,000 lbs of dust
the surface area of the moon is 37,964,220,000,000 sq meters
each sq meter of the moons surface should have
0.0073616684341203375177996545168056 pounds of dust on its surface.
1 sq meter has 1550 sq inches
0.0073616684341203375177996545168056 pounds / 1550 sq inch = 4.7494635058840887211610674301971e-6
.0000047494635058840887211610674301971 pounds / sq in
1 (sq inch) = 6.4516 sq centimeters
.0000047494635058840887211610674301971 pounds sq inch / 6.14516 cm = 7.7287873804491481444926860003599e-7 pounds / sq cm
.00000077287873804491481444926860003599 pounds / sq cm
1 pound = 453.592 grams
.00000077287873804491481444926860003599 pounds * 453.592 grams = 3.5057161254726900051567264282752e-4 grams per sq cm
.00035057161254726900051567264282752 grams per sq cm
moon dust weighs 3 grams / cu cm
.00035057161254726900051567264282752 grams per sq cm / 3 grams per cu cm = 1.1685720418242300017189088066667e-4
.00011685720418242300017189088066667 cm in height..0001 cm of moon dust accumulation in only 6000 years.that is my honest estimate of the amount of moon dust accumulation
over a 6000 year period.
and I'm a creationist.
my conclusion:
neither one of my calculations approach the op's or Creations
estimates.
my conclusion
1) the moon is not as old as it is said to be by science.(4.5 billion years old)
2) and it is older than Creation says it is (apx 6000 years old).
3) all this is riding on the assumption that moon dust weighs 3 grams per cu cm
4) and that my calculation method was at least close.
83 cm is a lot more than .75 inches
and
.0001 cm is a lot less than .75 inches
