The rubber guard doesn’t work

All major moons of Jupiter and Saturn show the same face to their parent. Pluto and Charon are even stranger, the two worlds are locked, facing one another for all eternity. Astronomers call this tidal locking, and happens because of the gravitational interaction between worlds.
phys.org

What is tidal locking?

The moon is tidally locked to the Earth, which means that it always shows one face to our planet. In fact, this is the case for most the large moons in the solar system. What's the process going on to make this happen?

whoa. never heard about charon

thats nuts. so:
- center of mass between sun and earth is within the sun
- center of mass between earth and moon is in the earth

BUT

- center of mass between pluto and charon lies in the space between them

1:9 (still real to me dammit) unless there are some other planets out there that youve explored. Our sample size is small.

you can extrapolate thanks to the NASA ( literally the best thing ever from America) no other satellite has the same impact on a planet In our solar system.

they’ve also mapped other solar systems thanks to Hubble ( UKs best proffering) no other system seems to have this Goldilocks Earth type scenario. And if they did they would have died thousands of years ago.

heres a fact. If aliens had arrived on Earth yesterday. With our knowledge of light speed and understanding of planets they would have had to have left their planet in AD 989 to arrive today.

i still believe in aliens for the record

Only ignoring quantum physics.

8 planets in that sample size.
About 4000 total known planets.

The extrapolation is an estimate that there is about one planet per star.

We don't know shit. We have not even begun to sample what's out there.

Interesting.

What's the rate that the moon is moving away from Earth?

The moon has not always aligned for our known eclipses. And it won't in the future.

You want to know when the golden age of eclipses is?? We're living in it.

The burgers don't get cooked in oil, just on a flat top. The fries use peanut oil.

Maybe your insides are broken?

Nope not broke...only their food does that to me

might be fries, but maybe they wipe the bun with some oil or something?

other than that issue the ingredients and burger are great and tasty

tut

I explained we have mapped other solar systems.

thanks to Hubble (uk)

im saying what we do know allowing for our basic unnersandin, using our rules as we know it. We know travelling at light speed the only aliens that could visit us were ones that had to leave their solar system in the year 989.


but it’s true we dint know shit.

for the record I believe in aliens.

Only traveling at the speed of light in undistorted space-time.
Such master race would likely have solved our current theoretical quantum physics into practical application.

Yes to a whopping 4000 planets identified.
