1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,319 Speaker 1: Okay, So you know how everyone always looks up at 2 00:00:02,319 --> 00:00:05,240 the moon, right like it's this familiar face in the 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:05,799 night sky. 4 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of comforting in a way, always there exactly. 5 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: But uh, you never really stop to think about what 6 00:00:12,359 --> 00:00:14,800 it is. I mean, this giant rock just hanging out 7 00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:16,839 up there. How did it even get there? 8 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 2: It's funny how the most obvious things like the Moon 9 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,760 can turn out to be the most mysterious totally. 10 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,679 Speaker 1: And the more you dig into it, the more you 11 00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:27,239 find out that scientists are still scratching their heads about, 12 00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:30,079 like the Moon's origin story, how it got into this 13 00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:33,159 crazy precise orbit, even what it's made of, is a 14 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,719 bit of a puzzle. It's like the closer we look, 15 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,759 the weirder it gets. Right. 16 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 2: There are these leading theories, of course about how the 17 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,560 Moon formed, but when you try to match them up 18 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,039 with what we've actually observed, it all starts to get 19 00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:46,799 a bit well wobbly. 20 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,719 Speaker 1: And that's where things take a turn for this seriously 21 00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:53,079 strange right, because today we're diving into this wild idea, 22 00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:56,479 the possibility that the Moon might not be natural at all, 23 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,359 that it could be well hollow, like a giant spanhi 24 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,320 parked in orbit. 25 00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:04,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely sounds like science fiction at first, doesn't it. 26 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,359 But sometimes the most out there ideas force us to 27 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,959 rethink everything we thought we knew, especially when the so 28 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,840 called official explanations have so many holes in them. 29 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,719 Speaker 1: Exactly, So today we're on a mission to explore all 30 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,719 the weird stuff, the anomalies, even ancient legends that kind 31 00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:28,280 of sort of maybe support this whole hollow moon spaceship. 32 00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:30,079 Speaker 2: Theory sounds like fun, let's do it so. 33 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,719 Speaker 1: You know, we all learn in school that the Moon 34 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,159 has basically always been there, but the story of how 35 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,480 it actually got there, well, there's no easy answer. 36 00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:40,799 Speaker 2: Definitely not. There are these different theories, each with their 37 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,879 own pros and cons, but let's be honest, none of 38 00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:43,519 them are perfect. 39 00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: Right, So let's start with the capture theory. This one 40 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,560 says the Moon was just cruising through space, minding its 41 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,719 own business, got a little too close to Earth, and boom, 42 00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:55,760 Earth's gravity snagged it pulled it into orbit. Problem is 43 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,840 for that to happen and end up with the stable 44 00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:01,319 orbit we see today. The chance of that are basically zero. 45 00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, for a capture to result in a stable orbit, 46 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,080 you need some really specific things to happen, like there 47 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,919 would have to be another large object nearby to mess 48 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,479 with the gravity, or the Moon would have to hit 49 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,680 a super precise speed and angle, otherwise it would either 50 00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:18,599 smash into us or just keep on flying. 51 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: So not very likely, not really. 52 00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: And then there's the accretion theory, which says the Earth 53 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,560 and Moon were like BFFs from the beginning. They formed 54 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,240 side by side from the same cloud of dust and gas. 55 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:32,759 Speaker 1: Sounds simple enough, right, but. 56 00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: There are some big differences in their makeup that just 57 00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:37,439 don't add up. Like if they formed from the same material, 58 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,199 why does the Moon have such a tiny iron core 59 00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:43,520 compared to Earth and their spins are totally different. It's 60 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,240 like expecting twins to be identical, but one comes out 61 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,000 looking like a completely different species. 62 00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, that iron core thing is a real head scratcher. 63 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,719 And then there was the fission hypothesis, which honestly sounds 64 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,240 kind of wild. 65 00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:55,479 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that one's a classic. 66 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: Basically, it says that the early Earth was spinning so 67 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,719 fast like a cosmic disco, that a chunk of it 68 00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:03,680 just flew off and became the Moon. 69 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,439 Speaker 2: And people even joked that the Pacific Ocean was the 70 00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:08,240 scar left behind huh. 71 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: But the problem there is age. We've got moon rocks 72 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,680 and they're way older than the oldest rocks we found 73 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,639 on Earth's ocean floor, so that theory got kind of 74 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,520 tossed out. 75 00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:20,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, it didn't quite stick the landing. So that brings 76 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,360 us to the raining champion, the theory most scientists like 77 00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:27,479 right now, the giant impact theory. 78 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:28,439 Speaker 1: Okay, laid on me. 79 00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: So picture this baby Earth is just chilling when all 80 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,319 of a sudden, this Mars sized object slams into it. 81 00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:37,599 We call this hypothetical planet THEA. 82 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Whoa. 83 00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about a bad day anyway, This massive impact 84 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,599 throws a huge cloud of debris into space, and eventually 85 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,960 all that stuff A clumps together and forms the Moon. 86 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,439 Speaker 1: So like a cosmic car crash, creates a moon basically. 87 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: And it kind of explains why the Moon has such 88 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,400 a small iron core. The idea is that Thea's iron 89 00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:57,599 mostly merged with Earth during the impact. 90 00:03:57,639 --> 00:03:59,319 Speaker 1: But doesn't that all seem I don't know, a bit 91 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,319 too convenient, Like this random object just happens to hit 92 00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:05,039 Earth at the perfect angle and speed to create the 93 00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:06,000 moon we know and love. 94 00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it requires some pretty precise conditions, which is why 95 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,120 some scientists have been looking at a newer idea, the 96 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,479 sinestia theory. 97 00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:16,079 Speaker 1: Sinestia sounds like a fancy drink. 98 00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:19,199 Speaker 2: Right, it's actually way cooler than a drink. Imagine this. 99 00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:22,920 Instead of just a regular impact, THEA hits Earth so 100 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,720 hard that both of them basically vaporize, like totally turn 101 00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:31,199 into the super hot, swirling cloud of well planet stuff. 102 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,199 Speaker 1: So no more Earth, just a giant cloud of space dust. 103 00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 2: Not quite. This cloud forms a specific shape of Taurus, 104 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,399 like a donut. It's called a sinestia. 105 00:04:40,519 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: Okay, So Earth briefly becomes a giant space donut, got it, And. 106 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,399 Speaker 2: As this doughnut spins and cools, the Moon forms from 107 00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:48,199 the outer edge. 108 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,639 Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta admit that's a pretty wild visual. And 109 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,519 again we're talking about this insanely specific event a planet 110 00:04:53,519 --> 00:04:55,680 becoming a donut, than a moon popping out. 111 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 2: Of it exactly. It seems like the more we try 112 00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:00,720 to explain how the moon got here now naturally, the 113 00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:02,399 crazier the explanations get. 114 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: You would think that after we actually went to the moon, 115 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,920 picked up some rocks, brought them back and steadied them, 116 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,000 we'd have a better idea of what's going on. 117 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,199 Speaker 2: You'd think so, wouldn't you. But it turns out the 118 00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:14,600 moon rocks and soil we brought back have actually made 119 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,319 things even more confusing. 120 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that doesn't sound helpful, not really. 121 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 2: For example, on Earth, one of the basic rules of 122 00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:25,079 geology is that the deeper you dig, the older the rocks. 123 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,120 That's how we piece together Earth's history makes sense, right, 124 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,319 makes sense to me. Well, on the Moon sometimes it's 125 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,360 the opposite. The dirt on the very top can be 126 00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:38,240 older than the solid rocks underneath. 127 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: We seriously, what like, the Moon's attic is older than 128 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,720 its basement. How does that even work? 129 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,439 Speaker 2: Yeah? It's pretty wild, right, and it's one of those 130 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,360 things that just doesn't fit with our standard ideas of 131 00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:50,439 how planets form. 132 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: Okay, so strange ages. Check. What else is weird about 133 00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:54,560 the Moon? 134 00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 2: Oh there's plenty more. Let's talk about density. 135 00:05:56,759 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: Now. 136 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 2: The Moon's pretty big, about a quarter of Earth's diameter, right. 137 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,000 You think it would be pretty heavy too. 138 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,199 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, logic, right, But here's the thing. 139 00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: The Moon is way lighter than it should be for 140 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,720 its size. It's like it's like well, kind of hollow, hollow, 141 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,199 like an empty easter egg sort of. You see, usually 142 00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:17,480 in a big space object, the heavy stuff like iron 143 00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:20,560 sinks to the middle, making the whole thing dense. But 144 00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:22,959 with the Moon, it's like the inside is lighter than 145 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,600 the outside. It's a real puzzle. 146 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: Okay, so the Moon might be an empty easter egg? 147 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,120 What else have you got? 148 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: Oh, we're just getting started. 149 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: Okay, buckle up, let's hear it all right. 150 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: So let's look at those craters on the Moon. Billions 151 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,839 of years of asteroids and meteoroids smashing into it. Right, 152 00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:42,839 you'd think the rocks around those craters would be all 153 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,680 different ages, since the impacts happened at different times. 154 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: Makes sense, old craters, young craters, all mixed up. 155 00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:50,879 Speaker 2: But that's not what we see. The rocks around the 156 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,759 craters are often remarkably similar in age. It's like something 157 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,120 is resetting the clock after each impact, or maybe the 158 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,560 impacts aren't hitting as deep as we think they should. 159 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: Weird. 160 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,759 Speaker 2: And it gets even weirder when you look at the 161 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,120 moon dust. You'd think it would just be ground up 162 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,199 bits of all those rocks, right, But it turns out 163 00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:10,920 that dust has a totally different chemical makeup. It's like 164 00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:13,000 someone sprinkled different dirt on top. 165 00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: Okay, now, that is just strange. 166 00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's another contradiction that's pretty major. The Moon 167 00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:21,240 doesn't have a global magnetic field. 168 00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: Okay, remind me what a magnetic field is again. 169 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: It's kind of like an invisible shield around a planet. 170 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,000 Earth has one. It's what makes compasses work and it 171 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,399 helps protect us from all sorts of nasty stuff from space. 172 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: Gotcha, So the Moon doesn't have that. 173 00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: Nope. But here's the thing. When we brought back Moon rocks, 174 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,720 some of them were magnetized. 175 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: Wait, what how can rocks be magnetized if there's no 176 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,120 magnetic field. It's like finding a fridge magnet stuck to 177 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,439 a tree in the middle of nowhere. 178 00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:49,839 Speaker 2: Right. It means there must have been a magnetic field 179 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,920 on the Moon at some point, but it's gone now 180 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,240 and that's not easy to explain with our usual ideas 181 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:55,879 about planets. 182 00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:57,759 Speaker 1: Okay, this is getting more and more bizarre. Let me 183 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,720 guess the Moon's age. 184 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: Is also, you guessed it. We know Earth is about 185 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,079 four point six billion years old, but the oldest rocks 186 00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:09,120 we found on Earth are a bit younger than that, 187 00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:14,079 because well, Earth is constantly changing, melting and reforming. 188 00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: Rocks, so old rocks get recycled, got it exactly. 189 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: But on the Moon, some of those rocks are like ancient. 190 00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:25,519 We're talking four point five billion years old, maybe even older. 191 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,720 It's like finding a dinosaur fossil in a layer of 192 00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:31,639 rock that formed before dinosaurs existed. 193 00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:34,879 Speaker 1: Seriously older than the Solar System. How is that even possible. 194 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,279 Speaker 2: It's a big mystery and one that definitely throws a 195 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:40,879 wrench into our timelines for how the Earth and Moon formed. 196 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,159 Speaker 1: And then there's the stuff the Moon is made of, right, 197 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:45,240 some pretty unusual ingredients in there. 198 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and not just unusual, some of them are downright bizarre. 199 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,519 We're talking about elements like uranium two thirty six and 200 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,840 neptunium two thirty seven. These are radioactive isotopes that don't 201 00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:57,720 just appear naturally here on Earth radio what now. They're 202 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,679 like special versions of elements that are unstated and give 203 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,200 off radiation, and we usually only see them as a 204 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,639 result of nuclear reactions, you know, like in a power 205 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,519 plant or something. 206 00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: So you're saying the Moon is radioactive. 207 00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: Not exactly, but finding these specific isotopes on the Moon 208 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,440 raises some serious questions about where they came from. It's 209 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,559 not something you'd expect to find just lying around on 210 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,960 a regular old space rock. 211 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: Okay, radioactive moondust duly noted anything else. 212 00:09:23,919 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we've got more. And this one's about the 213 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:28,960 metals on the Moon. You see, there's a ton of 214 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,360 stuff like titanium, chromium, and zirconium up there, way more 215 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,120 than we find. 216 00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:34,919 Speaker 1: On Earth metals. 217 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,159 Speaker 2: Huh so what, well, these are just any metals. They're 218 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,480 super strong, tough as nails, and they don't rust or corone, 219 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,440 easily perfect for building stuff that needs to last like forever. 220 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: Okay, now that's interesting. So you're saying maybe someone used 221 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,600 these super metals to like build the Moon? 222 00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:53,879 Speaker 2: Is it a possibility? 223 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:54,159 Speaker 1: Right? 224 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 2: And it could explain another weird thing about the Moon. 225 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,000 The craters, even the big ones, are all pretty shallow. 226 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, if that always seems strange to me. You'd think 227 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,759 some of those impacts would have gouged out huge chunks. 228 00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 2: Right, But it's almost like there's something hard underneath the surface, 229 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,440 something that prevents them from going too deep, like a 230 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,159 metal shell maybe. And speaking of hating things hard, have 231 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,879 you heard about the seismic experiments they did on the moon. 232 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,960 Tell me more so to figure out what's inside the moon, 233 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,039 scientists decided to well, smash stuff into it and see 234 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,559 what happened. 235 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,159 Speaker 1: That's one way to do science. I guess. 236 00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,159 Speaker 2: Hey, sometimes you got to be a little destructive to 237 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,600 learn something new. So during Apollo twelve, they sent the 238 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,600 lunar lander crashing back down to the surface intentionally, yeah, 239 00:10:36,639 --> 00:10:40,039 on purpose, And they had these sensors on the Moon 240 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,840 to measure the vibrations. Okay, and what happened was totally unexpected. 241 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:46,840 The Moon started ringing. 242 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,799 Speaker 1: Like a bell, seriously, a giant bell in space. 243 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: It sounds crazy, I know, but that's what the data showed. 244 00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:55,200 And it didn't just ring for a few seconds. It 245 00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:57,039 kept going for over. 246 00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:58,039 Speaker 1: An hour an hour. 247 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,039 Speaker 2: That's nuts, totally. And they did it again during Apollo thirteen, 248 00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:05,080 this time crashing a heavier piece of the rocket into 249 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:05,440 the Moon. 250 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:06,519 Speaker 1: More ringing. 251 00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this time it rang for over three hours plus. 252 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,120 The vibrations went super deep, like twenty miles down. 253 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,759 Speaker 1: Okay, something's definitely up put the inside of the Moon. 254 00:11:15,799 --> 00:11:18,759 It's not behaving like a normal solid rock, not at all. 255 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 2: And to make things even weirder, they found that around 256 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,960 forty miles deep, the vibrations actually sped. 257 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: Up, wait, speed up shouldn't they slow down the deeper 258 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:27,879 they go. 259 00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 2: Exactly, That's what usually happens in a solid object, the 260 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,879 pressure increases as you go deeper, slowing things down. But 261 00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:36,919 on the Moon, it's like there's this layer where the 262 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,440 sound waves suddenly zoom faster. It's a total mystery. 263 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: The total mystery, and all this weirdness is making that 264 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,320 hollow moon idea sound a little less crazy. 265 00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:48,919 Speaker 2: Right, And we haven't even talked about the Moon's size 266 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:49,720 and orbit yet. 267 00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: Oh right, there's more way more so. 268 00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:55,279 Speaker 2: The Moon is really big compared to Earth. It's like 269 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,639 a quarter of Earth's diameter. That's way bigger than any 270 00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:01,440 other moon compared to its plane in our Solar system, like. 271 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: A chiuaba walking you a great Dane. It's just wrong, exactly. 272 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 2: It's a huge outlier, and it doesn't really fit with 273 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,200 how we think planets and moons usually form. 274 00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:11,919 Speaker 1: Okay, weird size ratio check. 275 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,159 Speaker 2: What about the orbit, Well, most things in space orbit 276 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:18,559 in an ellipse, like a slightly squashed circle, but the 277 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,120 Moon's orbit is almost perfectly circular, super unusual. 278 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: So it's like the Moon is on some kind of 279 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,440 perfectly balanced track. 280 00:12:25,759 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 2: Exactly, it's not impossible for a moon to have a 281 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,960 near circular orbit naturally, but it's definitely rare, so. 282 00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: A big moon a perfectly round orbit. And then there's 283 00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:37,720 the whole eclipse thing. 284 00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: Right, Ah, yeah, the eclipses. Can't forget about those. 285 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,799 Speaker 1: The fact that the Moon seems to fit perfectly over 286 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,120 the Sun during a solar eclipse. That can't be a coincidence, 287 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:47,440 can it? 288 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: Well, it is kind of a coincidence. The Sun is 289 00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:51,799 way bigger than the Moon, like four hundred times bigger, 290 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,559 but it's also four hundred times farther away. Yeah, that's 291 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,559 why they look about the same size from Earth, which 292 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,440 is what makes those eclipses so cool. 293 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: But that's still a really weird coincidence, isn't it? Like? 294 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,159 What are the odds? 295 00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 2: Pretty wild? Right? 296 00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: And it was all this weird stuff, all these things 297 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,320 that just didn't seem to make sense, that led two 298 00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:13,080 Soviet scientists in the nineteen seventies to come up with 299 00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:17,279 a pretty radical idea that the Moon is not only hollow, 300 00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:22,159 but a spaceship, an artificial structure brought here by someone. 301 00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:24,519 Speaker 2: It's a theory that certainly gets people talking, and while 302 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,000 it might seem far fetched at first, it actually does 303 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,200 a good job of explaining a lot of those lunar 304 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,519 mysteries we've been discussing. 305 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,159 Speaker 1: It's like suddenly all those weird pieces start fitting together, right. 306 00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 2: They suggested that the moon might have a tough inner 307 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,879 shell underneath all that rock, which could be why the 308 00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:42,279 claters are so shallow and why it rings like a bell. 309 00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: Okay, so maybe the moon is a spaceship, but that 310 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,279 brings up a big question who built it and why 311 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,000 bring it here? 312 00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:53,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where things get really speculative. And this is 313 00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:56,639 where we have to start looking at ancient myths and legends, because, 314 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,840 believe it or not, some of the oldest stories from 315 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,879 different cultures around the world world actually hint at a 316 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,720 time before the moon was in our sky. 317 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,519 Speaker 1: Wait, seriously, a time with no moon. 318 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,799 Speaker 2: Yeah it sounds crazy, right, but there are these ancient 319 00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:12,480 Greek and Roman writers who talked about a group of 320 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,120 people called the Proselenes who supposedly lived in a place 321 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:18,440 called Arcadia before the moon was around. 322 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: A world without moonlight. I can't even imagine. 323 00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:23,399 Speaker 2: It's a mind blowing concept, right, And it's not just 324 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,559 the Greeks. The Tijuanaku people in Bolivia who were incredible 325 00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:29,600 astronomers and builders. They also have stories about a time 326 00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:32,480 before the moon. They said it arrived somewhere between eleven 327 00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:34,799 five hundred and thirteen thousand years ago. 328 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: That's pretty recent cosmically speaking. And you know what else 329 00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:42,559 happened around that time? The younger dryas, Oh. 330 00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: You're talking about that crazy period when the Earth's climate 331 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:46,720 went haywire. 332 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,639 Speaker 1: Exactly, huge temperature swings, massive extinctions. It's like the planet 333 00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:55,000 went through a major reset. And guess what. Tons of 334 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,759 cultures have stories about a giant flood happening around the 335 00:14:57,759 --> 00:14:58,240 same time. 336 00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, the flood myths everywhere. It makes you wonder if 337 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,039 there's a connection between all these events, a new moon, 338 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,799 a climate catastrophe, and a worldwide flood. 339 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: Right. And then there are the Zulu legends. Now these 340 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,000 stories get pretty wild. They talk about the moon being 341 00:15:12,039 --> 00:15:16,919 hollow and inhabited by way for it, intelligent reptilian aliens. 342 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,159 Speaker 2: Lizard people on the moon. Definitely not something you hear 343 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,039 every day, I know. 344 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: Right, it sounds like pure fantasy. But it's interesting that 345 00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:25,440 the idea of a hollow moon shows up again. And 346 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,799 the Zulus also believed that the moon was deliberately placed 347 00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:30,879 in orbit by two powerful beings. 348 00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, like some kind of cosmic engineering project. And you know, 349 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,080 similar stories of powerful beings messing with the heavens show 350 00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:41,279 up in other cultures too, like the Sumerian myths about 351 00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:42,080 the Rnaki. 352 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,799 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, the Ananaki. Those guys were all over ancient 353 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,440 astronaut theories, right. 354 00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:51,039 Speaker 2: It's fascinating how these similar themes pop up in stories 355 00:15:51,039 --> 00:15:52,399 from all over the world. 356 00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: And the Zulu legends also say that before the Moon arrived, 357 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,559 Earth was a completely different place, no seasons, just this 358 00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:03,919 thing steamy atmosphere, and when the Moon got put in place, 359 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,440 all that steam condensed and caused a massive flood. 360 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: That's pretty amazing because we know now that the Moon 361 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,960 actually does play a huge role in stabilizing Earth's climate. 362 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,159 Without it, our planet would be wobbling all over the 363 00:16:16,159 --> 00:16:18,399 place and the seasons would be totally chaotic. 364 00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:21,279 Speaker 1: So maybe those ancient stories weren't so far fetched after all. 365 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 2: Maybe not, And it makes you think twice about all 366 00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:23,879 those flood myths. 367 00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: Right, totally. But let's move on from ancient legends to 368 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,879 more recent stuff. Because even though most scientists say the 369 00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:34,000 Moon is this cold, dead rock, there have been a 370 00:16:34,039 --> 00:16:36,360 lot of reports of strange things happening up there. 371 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Moon is a lot more active than people 372 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,480 give it credit for. 373 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: Like that time in nineteen seventy one during Apollo sixteen, 374 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,480 astronauts saw this huge cloud of water vapor coming out 375 00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:48,919 of the Moon. 376 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 2: That was a weird one. A giant plume of water 377 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,039 vapor on a supposedly bone dry world, definitely not what 378 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,360 anyone expected. It suggests that there might be some kind 379 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,240 of internal activity going on, or maybe some interaction with 380 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,160 space that we don't fully understand. 381 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,079 Speaker 1: And then there are the TLPs transient lunar phenomena, basically 382 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,599 weird lights and flashes people have been seeing on the 383 00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:11,400 Moon for centuries. 384 00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, the TLPs are really intriguing. Some of them can 385 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,880 be explained by meteoroid impacts or gases escaping from the 386 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,319 Moon's interior, but there are a lot that we just 387 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,400 can't explain. 388 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: Like those glowing mists people keep seeing in the Plato Crater. 389 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a classic TLP hotspot. And then there are 390 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,359 the boulder tracks. It looks like rocks have been rolling 391 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,200 around on the Moon, sometimes even uphill uphill. 392 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: How is that even possible? 393 00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 2: It's a good question. Some of them might be caused 394 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,960 by moonquakes or impacts that dislodge rocks, but the uphill 395 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,200 ones total mystery. 396 00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: And we can't forget about the blue Gem in Aristarkis Crater, right, Ah. 397 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 2: The blue Gem that's a bright blue glow that was 398 00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:53,519 first photographed in nineteen ninety two. It appears and disappears 399 00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:55,279 from time to time, and no one knows for sure 400 00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:56,200 what's causing it. 401 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: It almost looks like, I don't know, some kind of 402 00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,359 beacon or signal. 403 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard some people say that, but without more evidence, 404 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,839 it's hard to say what's really going on. 405 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got weird clouds, moving rocks, glowing lights. 406 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,519 And then there are those alleged photos of structures on 407 00:18:11,559 --> 00:18:16,000 the moon, towers, pyramids, stuff that looks like ancient ruins. 408 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,599 Speaker 2: Right. Those images are always circulating online. Some of them 409 00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:22,519 are pretty blurry and open to interpretation, but some people 410 00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:25,960 are convinced they show evidence of an ancient civilization. 411 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: On the Moon. I mean, it would explain a lot, 412 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:27,799 wouldn't it. 413 00:18:27,799 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 2: It would, But it's important to be cautious with those 414 00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:32,160 kinds of photos. It's easy to see what you want 415 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,160 to see, especially with grainy images. 416 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: True. But then there's that story about Sergeant Carl Wolf, 417 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,799 who used to work for the Air Force. He claimed 418 00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:43,599 to have seen clear photos of structures on the Moon, 419 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,240 like a whole base from a lunar satellite. 420 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a story that always gets people's attention. 421 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,079 Speaker 1: And he wasn't the only one who supposedly saw those photos. 422 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,960 There was another technician who backed up his story. 423 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,839 Speaker 2: It definitely adds fuel to the fire, doesn't it. And 424 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,640 what makes it even more intriguing is that these photos 425 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,480 were supposedly part of a NASA release, but then they vanished. 426 00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: Like someone wanted to keep those pictures under wraps. 427 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,799 Speaker 2: You have to admit it's suspicious totally. 428 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: And let's not forget about the Apollo eleven astronauts, the 429 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,599 first humans to walk on the Moon, right. 430 00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 2: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. 431 00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: What about them, Well, when they came back, they didn't 432 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,680 exactly seem you know, thrilled. People said they looked kind 433 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,400 of shaken up, even scared during their press conference. 434 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: I've heard that too. Some people think they saw something 435 00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:31,279 on the Moon that they weren't expecting, something that really 436 00:19:31,279 --> 00:19:31,960 disturbed them. 437 00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: And then there's the whole mystery of why we stopped 438 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,480 going back to the moon six successful missions and then 439 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,440 poof nothing. Why? 440 00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 2: Officially it was about money and shifting priorities. You know, 441 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,160 the Cold War ended, NASA's budget got cut, and suddenly 442 00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:50,319 going to the Moon wasn't so important anymore. 443 00:19:50,519 --> 00:19:52,599 Speaker 1: But you have to wonder if there's more to this story. 444 00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 2: It's hard not to write, especially with all these other 445 00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:57,319 mysteries swirling around. 446 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,039 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's sum all this up. The basic the 447 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,079 idea of the hollow Moon spaceship theory is that our 448 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,200 moon isn't natural at all. It's a giant artificial object, 449 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,480 maybe even hollow, built by someone somewhere and placed in 450 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,319 orbit around Earth a long time ago. 451 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 2: It's a bold claim, for sure, but it's hard to 452 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,000 ignore all the evidence that supports it. 453 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: But of course scientists have their own explanations. 454 00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:24,079 Speaker 2: Oh definitely, And to be fair, some of their explanations 455 00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:24,680 are pretty. 456 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: Good, like how they say the Moon got here right. 457 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 2: The giant impact theory is still their best guess. A 458 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,359 Mars sized object slams into Earth, throws debris into space, 459 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,799 and voila, the Moon is born. It explains some things 460 00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:40,240 like why the Moon doesn't have a big iron core. 461 00:20:40,599 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: Okay, but what about the whole ringing bell thing. 462 00:20:43,319 --> 00:20:45,839 Speaker 2: Well, they say that's because the Moon is less dense 463 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,759 than Earth and has very little water, so sound waves 464 00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:51,359 can travel through it for longer without being dampened. It 465 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,079 makes sense to a point. 466 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: And what about those perfect eclipses. That has to be 467 00:20:56,759 --> 00:20:59,400 more than just luck, right, Actually. 468 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,799 Speaker 2: They say it is most Look, the Sun and Moon 469 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,440 just happen to be the right sizes and distances to 470 00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:08,039 line up perfectly from our perspective. But here's the thing. 471 00:21:08,519 --> 00:21:11,119 The Moon is slowly moving away from Earth, so eventually 472 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,000 those perfect eclipses won't happen anymore. 473 00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:15,839 Speaker 1: So enjoy them while they last, folks. 474 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:16,759 Speaker 2: Exactly. 475 00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: But what about those claims that NASA's seismic data proves 476 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,839 the Moon isn't hollow. 477 00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 2: Well, the data we have is from the Apollo missions, 478 00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:27,640 and it's not exactly complete. We still don't have a 479 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,519 super detailed picture of what's going on deep inside the Moon, 480 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,839 so saying it definitely isn't hollow that might be a 481 00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:34,599 bit premature. 482 00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:36,039 Speaker 1: So there's still room for doubt. 483 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And what about all those structures and weird lights 484 00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:41,319 people have seen? Yeah, but not those, scientist says those 485 00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:44,200 are just tricks of the light and shadow, meteoroid impacts 486 00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:47,119 or reflections from shiny minerals on the surface. And you 487 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:48,759 know a lot of them probably are just that. 488 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: Probably, but not all of them. 489 00:21:50,759 --> 00:21:53,759 Speaker 2: Right, That's the thing. There are always those cases that 490 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,680 just don't fit the easy explanation, which brings. 491 00:21:56,519 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: Us back to square one. The hollow moon spaceship theory 492 00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:03,920 might seem like a wild idea, but there's just too 493 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,160 much weirdness surrounding the Moon to ignore exactly. 494 00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:09,319 Speaker 2: The more we learn, the more it seems like our 495 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,000 current understanding of the Moon might be well incomplete. 496 00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: So what now do we just shrug our shoulders and say, well, 497 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,480 the Moon's weird. Guess we'll never know. 498 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: I hope not. We need to go back. We need 499 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,119 more missions, better data, a real commitment to figuring this out. 500 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: I'm with you there. Let's get back to the Moon 501 00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:28,400 and finally uncovered secrets. 502 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 2: It's time for some answers, and that's. 503 00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: A wrap for our deep dive into the Moon mysteries. 504 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,480 We've looked at the science, the legends, the anomalies, and honestly, 505 00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:40,680 it's clear that we're just scratching the surface of this 506 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:41,680 whole lunar enigma. 507 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 2: We've covered a lot, but there's always more to explore, 508 00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:45,359 more questions. 509 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,559 Speaker 1: To ask exactly. And I think that's what makes the 510 00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:51,519 moon so fascinating. It's this familiar presence in our lives, 511 00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:55,599 yet it holds so many secrets, so many possibilities. 512 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,839 Speaker 2: And those possibilities they really challenge us to rethink what 513 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,200 we know, not just about the moon, but about our 514 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,279 place in the universe. 515 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: Absolutely, so, next time you look up at the moon, 516 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,400 don't just see it as a bright light in the sky. 517 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:10,319 Think about all the mysteries it holds. Think about the stories, 518 00:23:10,759 --> 00:23:13,160 the science, and the unanswered questions, and. 519 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 2: Ask yourself, what if everything we think we know about 520 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,799 the moon is wrong. What if it's something far more 521 00:23:19,839 --> 00:23:21,359 incredible than we ever imagined. 522 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: What if it's a question worth pondering. Thanks for joining 523 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,240 us for another deep dive. We'll be back soon with 524 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:28,799 more mysteries to explore.
