This is because the moon is technically the Earth's crust.

The theory goes there was a collision with a Mars like object, most likely Mars that collided with the Earth during its formation.

That collision caused material to be ejected into space which eventually formed into the moon.

So technically the moon is the Earth that got separated.

Modern Physics which is branching more towards paraphysical phenomena may lend some explanation into what you described.

I should have listened to my Aquarious friend that always said I should have stuck with being an Earth Science major/Geology major.

The only issue is your forced to choose a side, the petroleum companies vs. the environmentalists.

That's no longer entirely accurate. Recently, small traces of water have been found in some of the samples we've brought back.

The way science works is you come up with a theory based on known facts and they hold up true for a time.

Then new facts emerge and a new theory emerges and it eventually gets accepted by the entire scientific community as fact.

For now the theory of a collision is upheld with the United States Geological Survey while new theories and models become finalized which may probably change all that.

As an example lets take the Continental Drift theory.

Many others came up with the theory before Alfred Wegener even in the 1500's ..but Wegener was the most complete and he proposed it in 1912.

Alfred Wegener faught faught and died to no avail to prove this theory.

It wasn't until after his death into the 1960s that the theory began to gain acceptance and validation by the entire scientific community.

That took almost 400yrs to gain acceptance from a first proposal and everyone making gradual improvement on the theory..

So its a slow process until it reaches acceptance, everyone checks, validates, pokes holes until the theory is solid and is established as fact.

Then someone else proposes something new and the process is repeated again.

Yep, this of course assumes no Government or Media interference and/or sabotage😉 Not to mention, no pricks like J.P. Morgan betraying people like Nikola Tesla when he needed funding the most, all because Morgan believed DC voltage was the future, but it was actually Tesla's idea of AC voltage that was the right answer. We didn't get that established until sometime shortly after Tesla's death. Yet another sad story to a brilliant person.
