ImUrOBGYN Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Even for those who aren't normally interested in space, the planets, etc., I believe you would find this an interesting read once you get into it. I don't know how I feel about the "moon with a view" theory, but it would be a nice one. Click Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 That's no moon....It's a space station! Iapetus is an oddity, but the guys article was a bit over the top. Is he implying a cover up or conspiracy? Does he understand the complexity of funding in NASA? Does he also realize that most scientists do not want to talk about something they don't understad, for fear of being made a fool later on? He is also wrong about such nicely shaped things not apearing in nature, they do. Some theories on this one: -Geologic activity. If this ridge were oriented any other way, ti would be totaly baffling. But the fact that it lines up with the equator makes it much more sensical. I would love to see this planets magnetic feild, because I'm sure it has something to do with this. -Varying density, combined with the intense tug of a gas giant. If the poles have more mass than the equatorial reagion, they will press the planet into a non-sphere as they try to meet each other. Add in the tug from Saturn, and they will also be moving toward it. This movement would shift the crust in such a manner that it would "wrinkle" at the half-way point, the equator. If the planet was indeed trapped, the conditions that formed it would not apply to it's new home. Maybe iron poles made sense adrift in space, but now that it's trapped, they are moving around. -Collapsed rings. If the planet (without an atmospher) had rings in a slowly deteriorating orbit, they could come to rest and pile up without cratering. They're made mostly of dust anyways.

87GT Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I bet there is a Stargate on that moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Also note the 2005 article isn't current, do you're own research and you'll find more. Random http://www.enterprisemission.com/moon1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
