I'm getting so tired of these 'PROOF' and 'BREAKING' threads, only to come in and see nothing breaking and no proof of anything. I think I'm just going to start skipping over any title that has either word in it.
I'm also getting real tired of these 'GOD DID IT' posts. 'God put the moon there'. That's just as ignorant and I'll tell you the most factual thing in this thread right now. YOU_DON"T_KNOW. So many people talking like they have the real answer.. as if 'god put it there' was a real answer.
I don't discount the idea that the moon is artificial. Just be more realistic about the way things are titled next time. I do discount the idea that god simply put it there... always the easiest and most illogical argument for everything. I certainly am convinced of a higher consciousness, but let's be real. We aren't living in the dark ages anymore. We actually know a few things now days. We have science, instruments for measuring, and systems in place for proving and disproving things. We don't need 16th century pilgrims throwing around claims that 'god did it' simply because that's the only answer they can come up with.

Or maybe the moon is just something we don't understand yet.

The Moon is not a naturally occurring body and was quite possibly engineered to sustain life on Earth. Not only is the Moon an apparently impossible object, it has some unique benefits for us humans. It has been nothing less than an incubator for life. If the Moon was not exactly the size, mass and distance that it has been at each stage of the Earth’s evolution – there would be no intelligent life here. Scientists are agreed that we owe everything to the Moon.
From tidal forces and stabilizing effects that hold our planet at just the right angle to produce the seasons and keep water liquid across most of the planet. Without our Moon the Earth would be as dead and solid as Venus.
Many people believe that the moon does not rotate, since the face of the moon is always facing the earth. But this is NOT TRUE!!. The moon rotates at exactly the PERFECT speed to keep the face pointing at the earth as the moon rotates in orbit. Furthermore, even though the moon's orbit is steadily increasing in distance from the earth year after year, the rotation of the moon slows at just the right decay to keep the face pointed directly at the earth as the orbit slows. The chances of this happening are impossible.
The Moon sits very close to the Earth yet it is widely regarded as the strangest object in the known universe. The Moon is not only extremely odd in its construction; it also behaves in a way that is nothing less than miraculous. It is exactly four hundred times smaller than the Sun but four hundred times closer to the Earth so that both the Sun and the Moon appear to be precisely the same size in the sky – which gives us the phenomenon we call a total eclipse. Whilst we take this for granted it has been called the biggest coincidence in the universe.
Furthermore, the Moon mirrors the movement of the Sun in the sky by rising and setting at the same point on the horizon as the Sun does at opposite solstices. For example, this means the Moon rises at midwinter at the same place the Sun does at midsummer. There is no logical reason why the Moon mimics the Sun in this way and it is only meaningful to a human standing on the Earth.
The Moon does not have a solid core like every other planetary object. It is either hollow or has a very low-density interior. Bizarrely, its concentration of mass are located at a series of points just under its surface – which caused havoc with early lunar spacecraft.

why it seems hollow, is that its core burnt out millions of years ago only leaving an outer shell like an empty egg or geode
