@Flat Earth PhD can I see picture of that

then there is the lack of evidence.

e.g. it's clear the moon landings were faked....

but one could imagine a reason why at that time.

morning, cat! how you doing?

Yeah they were faked

decent drew. how are you?

but doesn't explain why everything stopped...nobody followed.

and we have nothing there. no cameras. no telescopes. no rovers. no lunar tourism....

It's also convenient we see 1 side of the moon and the shadows of the craters stay fixed

But, I believe you can't cast shadows on a light, though.

I'm good! had a decent weekend @Silly Rabbit, Trix Are For Kids

well no drew

if you see the moon image in a high end planetarium, you can see craters...shadows...the things look so darn real today

try casting a shadow on a lit lightbulb. it wont work

exactly, now take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSPstsNJ9jI

there's shadows on them there craters.

ask any professional artist what the moon should look like if illuminated by a light source

it never matches what we see

oh, I am one!

a professional artist, I mean.

lastly.....it is has been observed by others that moonlight cools objects. the opposite of sunlight. but I'm taking that with a grain of salt until I do the experiment myself here in Switzerland with 3 other PhD colleagues

as a double blind study

Yeah, I can't verify the cool moonlight, myself, so I keep an open mind on that one.

Moonlight emits cold rays? Colder than in shadows also?

in other words moonlight literally cools things

thats what some people say

so an object in the moonlight will be cooler than an object in the shade of moonlight

and the numbers I've seen are impessive

Wow we all sync up then with the moonlight cold

we're not talking 0.01 degrees. but on the order of 4 to 5 degrees

but I need to verify for myself

So the question is does it give off its own light source, it must right?

yes

how do you explain phases of the moon?

have you seen those moon lamps that actually have phases?

If not I'll have to go find an image. it's the best visual I think

i dont think so

ok. will see if I can find one. brb

ok

I think I know those lamps
