Molten Core Inside The Moon?
beggs writes: "The Times (free reg et al.) is running an article about the possibility of a molten core inside the moon and that this, if confirmed may lend support the the theory that the moon is the child of a violent collision between mother earth and some other heavenly body in the distance past."
Can we find out if *he* has a molten core?
Greetings, for free software!
The plate tectonics that would have ensued from having an active core (like Earth's) has ceased, for quite a long time too.
I have been pwned because my
Myth: Open Source is written by heterosexuals.
Fact: All Open Source development is done by raging homosexuals. The more flaming examples include Anal Cox, Linus Turdballs, Eric Ass-Reaming Raymond, and the entire Slashdot crew. The ringleader of the slashdotters, a man named CmdrTaco, engages in a practice known as Taco-snotting, along with his faggot-buddies Jeff Homos Bates and CowBoiKneel.
Myth: Open Source is written for heterosexuals.
Fact: Using Open Source software can cause suppressed homosexual fantasies to surface, leading to all out flaming faggotry within 6-8 weeks. Anecdotes of otherwise hetero men turning queer are far too numerous to count, but a few examples stand out. In one case, a man was arrested loitering outside an elementary school and making sexual overtures to several children: he quickly confessed that shortly after installing the Mozilla browser on his computer, he began to have uncontrollable urges to, to put it simply, have his cock sucked off by little boys. He soon met several other like-minded men through discussions on the Bugger Zilla mailing list (all already homosexuals), who together kidnapped a total of seven children whom they brought back to their apartment and sodomized. The other two men are still at large and believed to still be using Mozilla.
Myth: Open Source is multicultural.
Fact: Open Source is openly racist.
Myth: Open Source is democratic.
Fact: Open Source is controlled by a few narrow-minded zealots (mentioned throughout this post), most of whom are either Communists, Stalinists, Nazis, or Fascists. Additionally, Open Source supports terrorism.
Myth: Open Source is tolerant of religious preferences.
Fact: Open Source developers regularly engage in holy wars over the superiority of various Open Source projects, such as the Emacs program (preferred by Christians) versus vi (used mostly by neo-pagans and Satanists); or the KDE desktop (a favorite among Muslims) versus the GNOME project (particularly favored by Jews). Posts initiating crusades or jihads against other developers can be found regularly throughout the newsgroups and mailing lists.
Myth: Open Source is tolerant of sexual preference.
Fact: See above. Either you are a homo, you become a homo, or you never visit Richard Stallman alone in his office and hope to God you never meet him on the street at night.
Myth: Open Source is tolerant of political differences.
Fact: Open Source is an anarcho-communist philosophy bent on the destruction of capitalism. The very same Richard Stallman, a man whose name is disturbingly reminiscent of Stalin, has stated several times in public that his vision includes the subjugation of all who own intellectual properties under the jackboot of the GPL. The GPL is a pernicious piece of literature lifted straight from Karl Marxs Communist Manifesto, and is fortunately banned in many democratic nations.

STOP ME BEFORE I POST AGAIN!
It was proved (through observation) many years ago that the moon is made of cheese. The reason the government keeps the moon "rocks" is because they're so delicious. Moon cheeseburgers are the best food in the solar system... and don't forget the yummy bacon and moon cheesefries.
Used to have a molten core. It has no electromagnetic field any more (they are closely related), and hence gets hit by all the asteroids (big and small).
Oh yeah.... Ummm. BSD is Dying! There I'm a troll.
IF we had a moon colony how would a molten core compare to solar cells as an energy source?
Might be worth looking at.

With a warm core, there is possibility (although slim) for life to survive in air tight pockets beneath the surface and toward the warmth of the core. This would be a great discover for mankind, however slim the odds.
...And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me." - Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984)
Could this possibly lead to a cheap method of power generation on the moon in the future?
WikiAfterDark.com It's a sex wiki, go now!
you would think the following logic was being applied: Earth has molten core. Moon has molten core. Thus, since they both have a molten core, the moon must have come from the earth!
The Times is a great paper thats been arround longer then america, this article is from the New York Times
Having a molten core would NOT lend support to the theory that the moon splintered off of the Earth. In fact, the non-existence of a molten-core would better lend support to that theory than a molten core. This is simply because if the moon splintered off of the earth, it is going to be one giant rock. How does one get a molten core from just a rock? Does anyone else see what I'm saying?
Measuring fluctuations in the Moon's size obviously tell you if it is solid or not but what about looking at the magnetic field. If the core of the Moon is liqued, then you wouldn't you see a large magnetic field from the free flowing ions in the core? That is what is responsible for the Earth's field.
Lord, bless my users that they may stop being such fucking idiots!!
It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!)
.. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt .45 and a .38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.
Girls refuse to view stripping as yet another way the patriarchy keeps women down. Now it's art, a celebration of the female form - an act of aggression in which men are reduced to human ATMs - and it gives those who've swung on poles instant hipster cachet.
What in the world does "molten core" have to do with "split off from Earth"?! The thermal time constant of the Earth is only a few million years -- the core isn't molten because the Earth is still cooling, it's molten because of the decay of radioactive nuclei, primarily uranium. The moon's thermal time constant would be even shorter, so if the core is still molten, it would have nothing to do with a violent creation.

How many licks does it take to get to the molten core?
(Let's just hope that some owl doesn't come and take two licks and bite right to the core, forever leaving the problem unanswered)
