It sucksIt's a very heavy topic.
You're talking about tidal aspects. The friction in the tides is slowing the rotation rate of the Earth. To conserve energy, the moon moves away in the gravitational field. It isn't 'pushing' the moon farther away. The moon is in orbit and the orbit expands because of conservation of energy.
nayYeah, if I remember it right, the ocean is slowing the moon down, causing it to slowly depart.
But it can be a very attractive theory.It sucks
I think the reason why the ocean is slowing the moon down is that the ocean is pulled by the moon's gravity and causing the tides, however, there's a delay in action. Basically, the ocean tide that's pulled by the moon's gravity is slightly behind the moon's orbit. It takes the water a little time to get pulled up. But because it's slightly behind the moon's orbit, it essentially is pulling the moon backwards a little and causing it to slow down.nay
an orbit is a compromise
speed vs gravity
if the moon is truly increasing in orbit.....
the speed of the moon is 'outweighing' the gravity that now holds it
all at once...when the orbit fails.....
the moon will simply disappear on a trajectory determined by that moment of fail
but that play of worry doesn't help this topic
The cause and nature of gravity remains uncertain, but the Law of Gravitation is defined. Gravity is a measurement of attraction between masses which so far has had very predictable results when using the right math models. It is believed that the strength of the attraction is affected by the square of the distance and the mass of each object. That is what the measurements show and what the resulting math always predicts. If you could define gravity you'd be very famous. For example if you could incontrovertibly show it was an affect due to some sort of higher dimensional acceleration or was a combination of some other forces you'd be 'The Man' or 'The Lady'. Actually they'd let you pick. You might even get to rename gravity 'The Force Explained by Thief'.anyone care to define gravity?
I think of tidal surge as a side effectI think the reason why the ocean is slowing the moon down is that the ocean is pulled by the moon's gravity and causing the tides, however, there's a delay in action.

yeah...at this point we agreeThe cause and nature of gravity remains uncertain,
Perfect answer. Too bad you couldn't just do the 3 dimensional representation on a 4-D diagram. You're so limited!I think there's a problem using a 2 dimensional representation
of a complex 3 (4?) dimensional concept.
That's better! But harder, I think, for a lot of people to grok.
And I'm more limited than most.Perfect answer. Too bad you couldn't just do the 3 dimensional representation on a 4-D diagram. You're so limited!
Is that a corporate thing?And I'm more limited than most.
Thinking about it, it's reversed, isn't it? The moon is slowly moving away, causing it to slow down. Just like pulling your arms in or extending them in a spin will speed you up or slow you down. Somethin' like that?I think of tidal surge as a side effect
but let's entertain the notion ….the moon is slowing down
that would bring the orbit......closer
and eventually....too close

Don't think so. It's probably up to you to do that now.did I miss it?
has anyone mentioned?... the difference between mass and weight
That is the dogma that keeps the graviton alive. But nobody is actively looking for it. The enery levels, as you said, are out of this world, even for the lowest of the widely different predictions. And, akaik, I may not be up-to-date, the theorist still haven't solved the self interaction paradox.Every field has a corresponding particle representation in QM.
