I believe everyone is familiar with the moon, which has accompanied the earth for at least 4 billion years. According to current scientists’ research on the origin of the moon, it is believed that it was formed by debris from the collision of a Mars-sized planet with the earth in the early days of the earth.
The moon formed very early, it has witnessed the evolution of the earth, the birth and evolution of life, and the birth and development of mankind along the way. The position of the moon in the hearts of mankind is also very high, especially in the hearts of the ancients. The position of the moon even surpassed the sun. Why did the ancients have such a soft spot for the moon? The reason is also very simple. One is that the moon is extremely bright and large in the starry sky at night. Looking at the moon from the earth, it exudes a holy white light, which is very beautiful.
Another reason is that there were no lighting equipment in ancient times. If people walk at night without the moon’s lighting, it is very difficult and dangerous to walk. It is the existence of the moon that makes it easier for people to walk at night for a few days each month. Therefore, we can see that in many ancient poems, many praise the moon.
With the continuous development of human civilization and entering the age of science and technology, we also know the true face of the moon, which is actually not beautiful at all. In the field of view of the astronomical telescope, the surface of the moon was covered with craters, which seemed very desolate. Humans also successfully landed on the moon in 1969 and saw the desolate moon at close range.
As scientists continue to explore the moon, we have become more and more aware of it, knowing that it has a great impact on the earth. Since the mass and volume of the moon are too large relative to the earth, gravity has brought many bad effects to the earth.
After understanding this, scientists once suggested bombing the moon, and this proposal is not far from now. It was put forward by a Russian scientist in the early 2000s. The scientist believes that there are several major problems with the existence of the moon, which have had a lot of bad effects on the earth. For example, the frequency of earthquakes has a certain relationship with the moon.
I believe everyone is familiar with earthquakes. The earth can be said to be a planet with frequent earthquakes. Basically, there are many earthquakes every year. Humans have also suffered great losses in earthquakes, so how does the moon affect the earth’s earthquakes? Mainly due to the powerful gravity of the moon.
If a careful friend will find such a phenomenon, that is, there are very few earthquakes at the poles of the earth, and there are very few seismic activities in the Arctic Circle. Generally, earthquakes are concentrated in the middle and low dimensions. Why? The reason behind it is related to the moon. The earth is a rocky planet, relying on the core, mantle and crust from the inside to the outside.
The mantle layer is a molten environment, with flowing magma everywhere, while the crust is floating on the mantle. We can imagine a plank floating on water. In this state, the earth’s crust is not very stable, as long as there is wind and grass, it will move. Outside of the earth, there is a moon about a quarter of the earth orbiting the earth.
Every time it turns, the strong gravitational pull pulls the crust, causing the crust to rise slightly. When the moon turns past, it will return to its original position. Falling together will intensify the movement of the crust, and the crust will be prone to cracks and collisions again and again, so an earthquake will appear. If there is no moon, there will be very few earthquakes on the earth, not as frequent as it is now.
The moon can also cause tides and the ebb and flow of the ocean is mainly due to the moon, which is the same as the lunar gravitational pull on the crust. It will also pull the ocean, causing it to rise and fall repeatedly. In addition to earthquakes and tides related to the moon, the four seasons of the earth are also formed by the moon’s gravity, and the moon also makes the earth’s orbit appear skewed.
It is precisely because the existence of the moon has brought some bad effects to the earth that the Russian scientist suggested that mankind should blow up the moon, so as to keep the four seasons like spring and reduce the number of earthquakes. But such a suggestion did not get the support of many scientists. In the eyes of most scientists, it was a bad idea and a lunatic behavior.
If we really blow up the moon, not only will the earth not be like spring all the year round, but it may also cause real ecological drastic changes, which will make the earth lose its qualification as a living planet and become a desolate planet. Why is it so? Hasn’t the existence of the moon brought some bad effects to the earth?
That’s right, the existence of the moon does bring about frequent earthquakes, more severe tides in the ocean, and so on. But let us not forget that the moon has existed for at least 4 billion years, and the entire ecosystem of the earth has been formed, and the moon has participated in the whole process. Due to the relatively large mass of the moon, its gravitational influence on the earth is very obvious.
As early as more than 4 billion years ago, the moon and the earth formed a system, which together created an excellent ecosystem of the earth. An excellent ecosystem is a necessary condition for the birth of life, so early primitive life was born 3.8 billion years ago.
It can be said that the birth of life on earth is closely related to the moon, and the moon and the earth have formed an unbreakable relationship for more than 4 billion years. The destiny of the earth’s ecology has been closely tied to the moon. If we blow up the moon, the earth-moon system will undergo great changes due to the loss of the moon.
At this time, the original skew of the earth under the influence of the moon will be corrected. It seems that this correction is a good thing, but don’t forget that the ecosystem that the earth formed 4 billion years ago was built on the original skewed foundation. Now that the earth is going to be revised, the original ecosystem will also need to be revised, destroying the old and forming a new one.
In the process of the replacement of the old and new ecosystems, life on earth cannot survive. This is no longer a simple mass extinction, but a complete mass extinction of life. The earth was born 4 billion years ago and all the life that has evolved to the present will disappear until the earth’s ecology is renewed and a new system is born. After a long period of evolution, new primitive life will appear.
It can be seen that the moon is not only unable to bomb it, but we must also protect it so that it cannot be easily destroyed. If the moon is gone, the earth will continue to exist, but mankind will lose this homeland that has survived for millions of years.
