Stabilizing our Weather by Destroying the Moon
|
|
|
|
A University professor has a moonstruck solution to the Earth's
|
|
weather problems. He wants to blow up the moon - or at least send
|
|
it somewhere else.
|
|
|
|
"It's the only way to rid the world of scorching deserts and artic
|
|
winters," says Professor Alexander Abian, a mathematician at the
|
|
University of Iowa. He claims that by getting rid of the moon, the
|
|
Earth will then be able to shift into a "more desirable orbit."
|
|
|
|
The suggestion which has been greeted with hoots and hollers from
|
|
the world's scientific community, has been presented by the 65-year
|
|
old Armenian-born expert to the American government.
|
|
|
|
Abian suggests strategically placed hydrogen bombs on the Earth's
|
|
satellite can either blow it apart, or send it careening into outer
|
|
space, maybe even into the sun. It all depends where you put the
|
|
charges, he says.
|
|
|
|
"We've been held hostage by the moon for 5 million years, and we've
|
|
been subjected to violent extremes in weather, not to mention that
|
|
the planet is slowly becoming a desert.
|
|
|
|
"It's time for a change." The change would make our weather less
|
|
extreme, turn our deserts into fertile farm land, and make the north
|
|
and south polar regions livable.
|
|
|
|
But other scientists disagree, suggesting the professor might be
|
|
moonstruck. "If you lose the moon, you LOSE THE TIDES. And if you
|
|
melt the polar caps, you're going to flood the seacosts of every
|
|
continent," one scientist explains.
|
|
|
|
Another climate expert says blowing up the moon would turn Earth
|
|
into "a bleak, seasonless planet, not to mention the fact that we
|
|
would lose the tides."
|
|
|
|
British astronomer Patrick Moore suggests Professor Abian "must be
|
|
as nutty as several fruitcakes."
|
|
|
|
Famed romance writer Barbara Cartland offers the best argument
|
|
against Abian's plan. Without moonlight, she says, love would flee
|
|
the Earth. "People long for romance and no professor should be
|
|
allowed to rob them of it," she says.

Vangard notes...
|
|
|
|
Just for speculation......
|
|
|
|
What a bizarre theory! Since the moon causes the tides and
|
|
plays a definite part in helping to keep the Earth in its
|
|
elliptical orbit around our Sun, the removal of the moon, by
|
|
whatever means, would lead to a radical stabilization of our
|
|
orbit, into the most stable natural form, that of the circle.
|
|
|
|
Now without the change in distance from the current elliptical
|
|
orbit of Earth around the Sun, we would NOT experience the
|
|
heating and cooling cycles which result in summer, fall, winter
|
|
and spring.
|
|
|
|
In addition, the lack of tides would greatly change the
|
|
characteristics of large bodies of water such as our oceans.
|
|
|
|
The most scary thing about such a proposal is that we do not
|
|
know just how far the Earth would naturally locate itself from
|
|
the Sun. This would determine what the climate would be like
|
|
everyday from the point of stabilization on.
|
|
|
|
Too close and we would experience perpetual summer, too far and
|
|
we could experience another ice age. How would we CONTROL it
|
|
to arrive at the most desirable location.
