Throughout scientific history, the origin story of the Moon has been shrouded in mystery. Many have been quick to speculate that the Moon was formed due to a collision of another celestial body with Earth. However, it would be foolish to accept this conclusion without first considering alternative options that have equally valid reasoning. One may be inclined to accept the theories presented by the scientific community, but one should also be cognizant of the possibility for error. For some time, the formation of the Moon was thought to have been the result of a collision between an embryonic Earth and a rocky body, nicknamed “Theia”. This then supposedly resulted in the formation of the moon from the melted remains of the crushed planet. However, this theory has major flaws, namely the fact that the Moon does not look like nor consist of materials related to the rocky body. Instead, rock samples taken from the Moon have revealed striking similarities with the elements found on Earth (Boyle, 2017). With this long-accepted hypothesis proven false, a more plausible and realistic scenario can now be examined and evaluated in terms of scientific validity.
Let us first examine the structure and mathematical ratios of the Earth in comparison to the Moon. The laws of physics and nature cannot explain the perfect proportions in regard to the Earth, Sun, and Moon. These relationships seem too precise to have been a by-product of natural phenomena. This is illustrated by the tripartite number matrix of the subdivisions and multiples of the Earth, Sun, and Moon. The number 27.322 is the number of days it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth. The Sun is 109.288 times the size of Earth, which is 4 times 27.322. Even more perplexing than this is the fact that the circumference of the Moon is 27.322% that of the circumference of Earth (Butler, n.d). These numbers are too perfect to be the result of random chance, and anyone who would argue otherwise should revisit the importance of mathematics in regard to scientific proofs.
The Moon is a crucial influencing factor on life as we know it on Earth. Without it, Earth would not have tides of the same magnitude. Additionally, the presence of the Moon causes the rotation of the Earth to gradually slow down, resulting in longer days over a great span of time. Perhaps more important than this is the impact that the Moon has on the stability of Earth’s axial tilt. If there was no Moon, there would be a great level of unpredictability that could result in the poles and the equator varying greatly in temperature, leading to ice ages hitting different part of our world every thousand or so years (Siegal, 2017). It is for this reason that humans constructed the Moon. Thousands of years into the future, humans will realize their role in balancing life on Earth. At this point in time, the mysteries surrounding time travel will have ceased to exist, and we will easily be able to go back in time and construct the moon in order to provide stability for our past and future selves.
This idea likely challenges the longstanding notion that the Moon is a product of natural interactions between bodies in space. However, these theories and supposedly solid scientific explanations are ever-changing. The giant-impact hypothesis, though widely accepted, had major flaws which have just recently come to light. Quanta Magazine further explains the importance of recent findings: “If Theia hit Earth and later formed the moon; the moon should be made of Theia-type material. But the moon does not look like Theia — or like Mars, for that matter. Down to its atoms, it looks almost exactly like Earth” (Boyle, 2017). For years, people assumed that the giant-impact hypothesis was correct. But with the introduction of this new data, one should question the validity of these new supposedly scientific findings. Perhaps the Moon consists of elements similar to Earth due to its construction by the future inhabitants of Earth. This would explain why the Moon and the Earth are comprised of similar compounds, as it would be the most easily accessible material for humans to use during construction.
Though coincidences happen in nature, ones of this proportion are perplexing and beg the consideration of external factors. Even skeptics cannot deny the mathematical relationships between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Though it may seem that the scientific theories most widely accepted are the most accurate, recent disapproval of these findings argue otherwise. The Moon plays such a crucial role in life on Earth that it only makes sense for humans to have constructed it.
For those still questioning the validity of time travel, let us examine the evidence presented by physicists that have studied the plausibility of such a feat in greater detail. According to William A. Hiscock, a professor of physics at Montana State University, time travel is more than science fiction: “Recent work by Tsunefumi Tanaka of Montana State University and myself, along with independent research by David Boulware of the University of Washington, has shown that the energy in the vacuum state of a field having mass (such as the electron) does not grow to unbounded levels; this finding indicates there may be a way to engineer the particle physics to allow a time machine to work” (Scientific American, n.d). If time travel is possible, it cannot be ruled out that humans used this as a mechanism to create the celestial structure we know as the Moon.
Those who created the Moon would need to make it obvious that it was not naturally occurring, but instead artificially constructed. This would explain the relationships that the Moon has with the mathematical ratios of the Earth and the Sun. These ratios and relationships work as clear indicators of humans’ influence on the construction of the Moon. Those who continue to deny this possibility should re-evaluate the accuracy of past scientific claims. If the giant-impact hypothesis was incorrect, it is highly possible that new theories are also incorrect. There is clear mathematical and observational evidence that clearly indicates human involvement in the construction of the Moon. As previously examined, the Moon plays a crucial role in life on Earth, and it is highly likely that humans were responsible for its construction.
