Conspiracy Theory: The Hollow Moon Theory
THE HOLLOW MOON THEORY Have you ever considered that maybe the moon isn't exactly what it seems? It has been decided that the moon ended up where it is as a result of a collision with earth and another planet before the solar system was fully formed. There are many different conspiracy theories floating around out there that try and disprove this idea. One of the many theories regarding the moon is the Hollow Moon Theory. It may be hard to believe that anything other than science is in play here because there is scientific evidence that shows us how the moon came to be all of those years ago. It could be that astronomers and researchers have been wrong about how the moon was formed and aren't willing to go against what they believe and consider the possibility that maybe there is something else going on out there. The moon could possibly be hollow due to a geological feature, but it is more entertaining to believe that maybe the outer portion of the moon, the part that we see, is just a protective layer that is surrounding an alien UFO. Back in the late 60's, there was an experiment done where the members of the Apollo 12 crew crashed a module into the moon as a kind of seismic experiment. It was recorded that upon impact, the moon “rang like a bell” for almost an hour. This …show more content…
It has been discovered that these craters that have been created by asteroids and meteors crashing into the surface of the moon have caused the dents to have a convex floor rather than a concave floor that one would expect. It seems unusual that a meteor or an asteroid that can hit the moon's surface would create a convex floor in the craters. This discovery only further supports the theory of the hollow moon because it shows that the moon's surface is made of a rigid material that is not flexible and will not cause a normal dent when it is struck by an

    In The Secret Life of Bees, Sue Monk Kidd alludes to the first lunar landing to communicate that the mystery of the moon is more intriguing than its discovery. For example, August explains her distress when she hears of Ranger 7’s mission to the moon: “‘Now it won’t ever be the same, not after they’ve landed up there and walked around on her [the moon]. She’ll be just one more big science project’” (114). August further explains that the moon is fascinating because of its ambiguity, and now that humans have access to it, the moon’s mystery is uncovered. Thus, the reality of scientific discoveries replaces the mystical beauty that the previously untouched moon once held. On July 31, 1964, Ranger 7 lands on the moon and sends pictures back to…

    3. Describe the “big splash” theory of the Moon’s origin? The Big Splash Theory is the current theory that explains the formation of the Moon. This theory states that approximately 4.5 billion years ago, the Moon was formed as a result of an object approximately the size of Mars colliding with Earth, causing less dense portions to be blasted into space. The clash created high temperatures and pressures, which in turn caused denser materials (like Iron) to become part of the Earth’s core. The less dense materials were blasted into space adding to the material orbiting the Earth. These less dense portions gravitated toward each other, creating the Moon. Evidence supporting the Big Splash Theory came from rock and soil samples taken during the Apollo landings on the Moon.…

    When Galileo first turned his telescope to the moon, he had no idea that he was about to see something that would cast doubt upon centuries-old beliefs. At the time of Galileo, science was based upon the teachings of Aristotle. According to Aristotle, the Earth was the center of the universe. All heavenly bodies, including the moon, were perfect spheres that moved around the Earth with circular motions or combinations of circular motions, and the Earth was the only source of imperfection in the universe. According to the moon truther, there are two reasons why he describes the moon as a hologram. The first piece of evidence of why he thinks the moon…

    One theory is that the moon must have broken away from Earth, when the earth was still a rotating ball of molten rock. Earth might have been spinning so fast that part of our planet separated into space, this could be why our chemical composition is similar to the moon.

    In different photographs taken on the moon which are supposed to be taken at least ten miles apart have backdrops which are the exact same. NASA claims that this is because the moon is smaller than the earth therefore the horizons can look notably closer than what they actually are when looking at it. The hill backgrounds of all pictures have roughly the same shape and are almost identical but the objects in the foreground are always different. This indicates that NASA may have filmed this in a film studio and the same backdrop has been used in all scenes to save money instead of buying several backdrops which would have made it less suspicious.…
