New Moon Formation Model
msheppard writes "This ariticle at Scientific American describes a new computer model describing the formation of the moon. "It is also strikingly similar to the first proposed impact theory 25 years ago, before computer simulations were available.""
heck, I generate a new moon every time I pull down my pants. No model needed...
Everyone but the scientists know the moon wasnt formed by an object impacting Earth. Its just compressed interplanetary curdled milk! DUH!

I guess that means we'll find a way to halt and reverse global warming. :)
Yay!
What's this Submit thingy do?
You'd be much better if you had the Slashdot notification service running. It instant messages you when a new story appears. How do you think those trolls post so fast?
We went over this in my advanced astonomy class today. My prof posts his outline everyday if you want to take a look at it. There was some heated discussion about whether this was caused by a hydro-O2 reaction or a solar warming.
It actually took a computer simulation to determine how the moon formed? I'm pretty sure the procedure only involves dropping your drawers, sticking out your bum, and wiggling around while making a taunting sort of noise.
