Lunar Meteorites
meteorites.wustl.edu...
How Many Are There?
It depends upon how one counts. More than 340 named stones have been described in the scientific literature that are lunar meteorites. Other rocks that have not yet been described in the scientific literature but which might be lunar meteorites are being sold by reputable dealers.

Lets not insult the guy for asking a question. Ive done a lot of research on the moon. I guess I get that from my dad, as he is a research scientist and math whiz, among other things. Its ok to ask questions.
Someone on here remarked about the placement of the moon, math wise, and they are correct. The odds of it getting into that position are astronomical ( pun intended), its just not feasible.
The moon is much older then Earth from what I have read over the years.
It has a very large hollow section or is completely hollow. We know it rings like a bell when it.
On Earth, vibrations from quakes usually die away in only half a minute. The reason has to do with chemical weathering, Neal explains: "Water weakens stone, expanding the structure of different minerals. When energy propagates across such a compressible structure, it acts like a foam sponge--it deadens the vibrations." Even the biggest earthquakes stop shaking in less than 2 minutes.
The moon, however, is dry, cool and mostly rigid, like a chunk of stone or iron. So moonquakes set it vibrating like a tuning fork. Even if a moonquake isn't intense, "it just keeps going and going," Neal says. And for a lunar habitat, that persistence could be more significant than a moonquake's magnitude.

Sure -- questions are great. However, the OP's specific question regarding what he called "evidence" that the Moon is a holographic projection -- evidence that showed some ripples in a video of the Moon -- was explained to him as being just ripples in our atmosphere, which can be caused by many things: thermal inversions, differences in humidity, differences in temperature, and other things. I think these ripples look like they could have been caused by a passing plane, and this was the distortion from engines exhaust (passing unseen at the top or above the frame).
The OP was given this explanation, but chose to ignore it.

If by placement, you mean how it can sometimes appear the same size as the Sun (such as during a solar eclipse when the Moon perfectly cover s the Sun), it should be noted that isn't always true. The Moon can vary in apparent size in our sky by 14%. Sometimes it looks the same size as the Sun, sometimes it looks larger than the Sun, and sometimes it appears smaller than the Sun. There have been solar eclipses that occurred where the Moon looked completely surrounded by a ring of sun because the apparent size of the moon was smaller than that of the sun.
The moon is much older then Earth from what I have read over the years.
The Moons' age is known to be slightly younger than the earth by a couple hundred thousand years. The Moon has been dated using radioisotope analysis of zircon crystals in Moon rocks and Moon meteorites.

That's not true at all. The "rings like a bell" was only a figure of speech used by a researcher to describe how the Moon vibrated longer than expected after an experiment in which they deliberately crashed a piece of rocket equipment into the Moon and took seismograph readings of the event.
Here are the facts of the experiment that prompted someone to say "it rang like a bell".
- Seismometers were set up by Apollo 12 in November 1969.
- In April 1970, the SIV-B booster rocket from Apollo13 was intentionally crashed into the moon 85 miles from those seismometers in order to find out information about lunar geology.
- That crash vibrated the seismographs longer than expected, which caused geologists on Earth to say that it "rang like a bell", meaning that the reverberations lasted longer than they thought they would.
- It is thought that this longer-than-expect vibration (and moonquakes in general) lasted longer than earthquakes because the Earth is more cracked due to weathering while the Moon is more solid and less cracked.
So when geologists said it rang like a bell, they said it was due to the Moon being solid, not hollow. the extra long duration of the vibrations was because it is more monolithic than Earth and less cracked than Earth.
That is to say, if the Moon is like a bell, then the Earth is like a cracked bell.

Vibrations on Earth, such as earthquakes, dampen quickly. This is due to weathering and water infiltration, which causes the Earth's crust to be more cracked than the moon. The cracked Earth dampens vibrations much more quickly, just like a cracked bell or a broken tuning fork would not vibrate as long as a non-cracked bell of tuning fork

Had a bad Christmas eh?
I was raised by a super genius scientist. A lot of what you are told is BS. The truth is out there. Im pretty sure UCLA is one of the 5 colleges my dad attended. Stanford as well. I just found about another degree tonight over Christmas dinner. O think that is 6 or 7 I know of so far. He is like Mr. Spock. I wish you had a dad like that too. He is a blessing to this country. They likely don't call Scientists to the Whitehouse unless they are.
Merry Christmas

If you mean they didn't alien bases or crashed UFOs you're absolutely right. If you mean looking at the moon isn't intrinsically interesting and informative, you're completely wrong.

The distance from the Earth to the moon is 238,900 miles or is it 252,088?. The distance from New York to London is 3,456 miles. I must have a really great camera.
